The more I listen to "Burn The Witch," however, the more I think I dislike it. I also dislike the lyrics: we're still making floating / burning witch metaphors, really?
But I am really loving "Daydreaming" and sorta want to go to a movie theater just to maybe catch the video on the big screen

lol @ radiohead releasing an album of presumably intense and introspective art-rock while literally everyone in the uk is having a picnic

Two more hours. Get hyped! Don't know if this is fake but apparently if you own an Amazon echo the title, tracklist and 15 sec samples are available right now. 'A MOON SHAPED POOL' is supposed to be the title... don't love the name but hey True Love Waits!

I'm not the world's biggest Radiohead fan but I love that we can still all get excited about the same thing happening at the same time every once in a while

Seems it's official, still think the track order will change since it's arranged alphabetically. So, mods should probably rename this thread?
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 8 May 2016 16:54 (eight years ago) link
it's kinda surprising something would slip up like this.
also surprising that Burn the Witch is the opener (and weird that it's alphabetical like that), and wow, True Love Waits. apparently The Numbers is Silent Spring?
― ufo, Sunday, 8 May 2016 16:56 (eight years ago) link
I highly doubt that's the actual order
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 8 May 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link
Yeah The Numbers is Silent Spring. Dissapointed Skirting on the Surface got left out it was one of my favorites of the new ones. Still not sold on Identikit the chorus 'broken hearts make it rain' from live versions was very awkward imho. The rest of the song has some interesting moments but that chorus Idk... Starts and ends very abruptly let's see what they did with it in the studio.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 8 May 2016 16:59 (eight years ago) link
I find their refusal to let old songs die endearing
now where's Lift
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:03 (eight years ago) link
cool album cover
― warm winds and clear skies, Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:04 (eight years ago) link
lol Google Play took it down
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:05 (eight years ago) link
Oh it's off Google Play now... You could even buy it and download a sec ago.
Lift was actually part of the sessions, I thought it would definitely make it this time around. Maybe a b-side?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:06 (eight years ago) link
It would fit with the orchestration-heavy theme, I would think.

at the risk of what certainly has the potential to be a very unfortunate derail, because not everyone is a poptimist consumed with celebrity culture and vacuous pop music?
Anyway, new album discussion!
Did anyone manage to download it before it disappeared?
― Wimmels, Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:09 (eight years ago) link
vacuous pop music
Ding! I knew this would be the answer, but I just wanted you to type it for the record.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:12 (eight years ago) link
Right, I'm a cliche. Look at me in my Foo Fighters t-shirt hating Taylor Swift and wishing people still wrote "real songs, maaan." You got me
― Wimmels, Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:14 (eight years ago) link
I'm listening to it now, the tracklist seems to be the correct order - Decks Dark segues into Desert Island Disk
― ufo, Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:15 (eight years ago) link
Hahahaha
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:15 (eight years ago) link
Tracklist I saw was alphabetical. Surely that can't be right
― Wimmels, Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:15 (eight years ago) link
I thought this title would make good anagrams but the best I can come up with is Shampoo'n a Poodle
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:16 (eight years ago) link
this album has a weirdly laid back sensibility for them so far
― ufo, Sunday, 8 May 2016 17:31 (eight years ago) link
apparently the alphabetical tracklist is correct lol

19 more minutes till the official release.

xp Google Play accidentally launched it early, then took it back down.

I need to make my peace with the fact that I just wish every Radiohead song sounded like Autechre's "Second Scepe" + Greenwood guitars

Which radiohead song comes closest to that ideal?

re: alphabetization of tracklist
sounds like the result of a really frustrating process to determine the running order

studio version of True Love Waits is disappointing, it's very minimal but not really in an interesting way like what they did with Videotape
― ufo, Sunday, 8 May 2016 18:03 (eight years ago) link
The album title is crap, by the way... it has a really naff late '90s landfill indie vibe to it.

So, I purchased the vinyl, but was not given a download link. Do I have to wait until June to hear it?!

TRUE LOVE WAITS

Considered buying the CD but a) no free MP3s and b) $10 for shipping. FUUUUUCK YOUUUUU. I'll wait a month, get it from Amazon and probably get the MP3s then via their AutoRip service. In the meantime, I'll wait for it to turn up on Spotify.
