Mine was better, chap ;)
I really hate daily mail, glad that one didn't make it. Staircase, though is one of the best songs from the whole set and it fits perfect inside the album. I can't believe they left that one out.

Give Up The GhostThere's a signpost to future directions within this one, and it's not pointing where you think it is.

I'm now curious for what you meant with this.

So am I.

Ok, I have found the original message, they are one-line reviews of all the tracks.
Was I aping someone's style? Was I being funny? Or was I meaning what I said?
I don't recall anything about this album at all now.
I guess I'm going to have to hear it again, aren't I?

Well, I did a one track review before you where I compared it to Neil Young, maybe that was it?
― Moka, Thursday, 4 September 2014 01:44 (ten years ago) link
Noh, I'm neither way wrt Neil
― Mark G, Thursday, 4 September 2014 06:21 (ten years ago) link
Man the live, martial version of "Lotus Flower" they used as set opener on the tour was maybe 10 000 times better than the album cut.

New album soon?

I still don't think that this is one of Radiohead's better albums, but 'Morning Mr Magpie', 'Feral' and 'Codex' have grown on me a hell of a lot recently.
― Turrican, Thursday, 15 October 2015 23:20 (eight years ago) link
Separator is the standout for me. it sounds 100x more natural and looser than anything else on the album. i love the way it unfurls
― 1998 ball boy (Karl Malone), Thursday, 15 October 2015 23:25 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, there's a great moment in 'Separator' where the high-pitched guitars kick in.
― Turrican, Thursday, 15 October 2015 23:30 (eight years ago) link
I really like the melody and guitars on Separator but I hate that drum loop and it's especially strange when most of the album was so focused on intricate rhythms.

TKOL might be the only over-edited rock album of the 21st century

What about the remixes? What did we think about all of them?
― austinato (Austin), Friday, 16 October 2015 02:33 (eight years ago) link
We're agreed that the From The Basement version of TKOL are much better than this crumby album though, right?
export I hate most of the rhythms on this album. Like IDM gone wrong.
― canoon fooder (dog latin), Friday, 16 October 2015 12:45 (eight years ago) link
I think the From The Basement version of 'Bloom' is definitely superior. I think some are better, others aren't.
― Turrican, Friday, 16 October 2015 13:25 (eight years ago) link
I think the From The Basement version of 'Bloom' is definitely superior.
OTM. And Magpie too. Prefer the studios of Lotus Flower and Codex.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 16 October 2015 13:47 (eight years ago) link
The Basement version of 'Bloom' makes the album version seem like a sick joke.
― austinato (Austin), Friday, 16 October 2015 16:14 (eight years ago) link
While the live version of 'Morning Mr Magpie' is more guitar-heavy, thrashy and chaotic, I actually prefer the studio version because it's not. I understand that different people listen to the same things in different ways, but what I personally get from the studio version of 'Morning Mr Magpie' is that its rhythms and that funk-like guitar riff that runs throughout most of the song give the track a really uptight feel, like it captures a feeling of being uptight and on the verge of an emotional release that never happens, so it stays completely in this tightly-wound space perpetually with absolutely no catharsis that breaks the track out of that space, and I've come to realise that that is what gives the track its edge. Tension with no release. The live version, by comparison, seems to be all release and no tension.
On the other hand, 'Bloom' works better in its live incarnation for me because it does provide a feeling of release when the drums kick in during the instrumental break - suddenly the song opens up and begins to make a little bit more sense, whereas the studio version feels far more linear in that sense and, as demonstrated by the live version, doesn't quite give the track what it desperately needs.

If new Radiohead material is indeed about to be released soon, I'm at least hoping for something a little bit more realised than The King of Limbs. Two of the best tracks from the period ('Staircase' and 'Supercollider') weren't even on the record, and in hindsight the live versions are often superior.
― Turrican, Sunday, 1 May 2016 23:40 (eight years ago) link
Staircase is such an awesome song. I'm shocked they didn't save that one for an album.

Ideally, it should have been on The King of Limbs. Perhaps if they'd spent a couple more months on the record, both it and 'Supercollider' could have been!
― Turrican, Monday, 2 May 2016 01:14 (eight years ago) link

So, they've posted a video of a bird chirping at the crack of dawn on Instagram. Guess the LP actually is called The Dawn Chorus, then.
― Turrican, Tuesday, 3 May 2016 06:50 (eight years ago) link
It's a nice little stop-motion animated chirping bird.
Apparently the otherwise still-blank website sometimes shows the bird video too, but I'm yet to spot it.
― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Tuesday, 3 May 2016 08:46 (eight years ago) link
The website shows the bird video on the hour and half hour - I refreshed at 10am (UK) and it was there.
― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Tuesday, 3 May 2016 09:16 (eight years ago) link
The bird is a teaser for a 'wicker man' sort of video... 'Burn the witch' reference I guess... video will be uploaded probably in the following hours. Jacknife Design is involved https://www.instagram.com/jacknifeprints/
They had previously worked with them for the There There video.
