This cover will get worse every time it is saved in a lossy compression format. Radiohead sucks.

I like the cover of Amnesiac, the simple but bold colour scheme works well. OK Computer has a very nothingy cover, I think.

i think the Kid A cover is great. the rest are all whatever, though HTTT's is fun to look at, at first

XP: A man who takes on all the kids on his estate for letting down the tyres on his car just to get stabbed for his troubles is simple but bold. The cover of OK Computer fits the themes of the album perfectly.

Hopefully the new album doesn't jam
― van smack, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 00:08 (fifteen years ago)
that phish album is way more off-kilter pop than jam

What's $60? I thought it was 48
― van smack, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 01:15 (fifteen years ago)
The OK Computer cover is great.
it's good (and the art for album that revered usually ends up 'iconic'). Kid A's and Amnesiac's alright. In Rainbows cover sucked. colours and text on this new one really ruin it for me.
sometimes think bands like this should just have a nice (even if 'ironic') photo of them on the cover and stop fronting.

I ask for a truce with the Phish comparisons until the actual album gets released.

oh man was the HTTT cover fun in high school. i think i drew my own versions of it even. with my own oblique vaguely dystopian buzzwords.
― difficult listening hour, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:13 (fifteen years ago)
i like this cover a lot actually but i kind of think of radiohead as a joke about radiohead now.

Boy, I know turning forty in a couple of weeks will be a little weird for me, I just didn't realize HOW weird.

fucking love "palo alto".
Every time I see what we think is the cover of the new album I get Optimistic/In Limbo in my head. It's a perfect image for those songs.

I am digging Thom's (supposed) "alternate" tracklist for HTTT I found somewhere and might not actually be legit:
There ThereThe GloamingSail to the MoonSit Down Stand UpGo To SleepWhere I End and You BeginScatterbrain2+2=5MyxomatosisWolf at the Door
― Simon H., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:05 (fifteen years ago)
Doesn't have Backdrifts on, which is my favourite.
― Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:07 (fifteen years ago)
I like all the tracks he left off, but I must say it flows rather nicely without them.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:08 (fifteen years ago)
aside from "scatterbrain", the segue from "the gloaming" into "there there" is the only part of that album i really really love, so that'll have to be fixed.

haha me too
iirc HTTT came out during my sophomore year of highschool. i think that was also the year i discovered pfork, through a google search for Porcupine Tree of all things

I've been tracking down all the Thom Yorke remixes/singles I've yet to hear rather than listening back to all the RH records. "Hearing Damage" is a beaut.
