Radiohead - The King of Limbs

I like all the tracks he left off, but I must say it flows rather nicely without them.

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.

god i have this giant mp3 folder of EVERY RADIOHEAD B-SIDE and now i want to put it on and ugh.

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.

Finally got & listened to Bodysong today. Grebt.

<3 bodysong.

"Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses" is a bit of a monster.

When HTTT came out I felt like one of the younger posters on ILX. Now I feel like one of the oldest.

First review of the new album:

Druqks wasn't relevant? There's a little British band who were bigging up his style quite a bit when it came out.

Kid A came out almost ten years ago now BTW.

Hmm, I remember buying it, then took it back to the shop
Me: "It's skipping"
Shop: "It's supposed to sound like that"
Me: "Gimme another one"
Shop: "OK"

Second one was better.

Same thing happened to me with Amnesiac. Only mine I think was really skipping.

(Mine was, also)

New band press photo. Sort of confirms suspicions this will either be their prog album or maybe something that will sound like Neil Young.

banjohead

Going for the Mumford & Sons demographic is nagl for Radiohead.

*insert inevitable Under the Greenwood Tree pun here*

"Well, Yankee, looks like maybe you done gone strayed into the wrong wood. Wouldn't you say so, boys?"

Kid A came out almost ten years ago now BTW.

OVER ten years ago.

That promo pic just reminds me of a different album that was announced one week before it's release:

Considering it's a newspaper sort of thing I wouldn't be surprised if song titles read like onion headlines, eg:

1. Fat Kid Successfully Avoids Ridicule by Swimming with Shirt On
2. 6 Year Old Stares Down Bottomless Abyss of Formal Schooling
3. U.S. Launches AIDS-Awareness Campaign In Botswana: ‘You All Have AIDS,’ Says U.S.

I just panned most of the thread, but did anyone say what exactly the "newspaper" album thing is supposed to be/mean?

Based on the photo upthread, I'd say they (like every British band of the 60s, and maybe Radiohead are just catching on) want to be the Band. I just imagined what Yorke would sound like trying to sing "Up On Cripple Creek." Didn't turn out so well.

god help me but i am anticipating this. i haven't ever actively disliked a radiohead album

never heard pablo honey then?

I don't think it's going to be a cover based on a "newspaper" like the pics up thread. On the website it says, *world's first* newspaper album. I'm guessing that with the info provided on the website, that it will be a kind of create your own album cover.

purpose-built record sleeve

What is a purpose-built sleeve? Just a basic cardboard record sleeve with nothing on it?

Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.

Maybe all these art pieces are to go on the purpose-built sleeve as you see fit. Meaning, YOU are the artist for the cover. I mean, 625 pieces of artwork are a lot of pieces to mess with.

never heard pablo honey then?

haw. yeah, i've never actually gotten into it? not like "nope, not for me" but never really took the time. i started w/ok computer and never felt compelled to go backwards

bends is dope, kid

my iron lung is a jam for the ages

talking of which, i personally want 8 talk show hosts.

whoops forgot about the bends---i love it!

Radiohead is still my favorite band so I'm stoked for this. I wonder at what time will we be able to download this on Saturday?

are there any songs to listen to yet or

Also, are we certain this is giong to be eight tracks? (Sorry if source was given upthread - I just skipped through this thread)
