Haven't watched any of these myself, yet.

Anyone ILMers going to any of the Latin American shows?

Any*

Don't worry, I cracked the window.

I know it's a little bit late for a reply, but, yeah, I saw them. Rio and SP. In Rainbows in its entirety and Creep as final song.

Nice! Shame Melissa W and I couldn't make it to those shows, heard great things about them.

Mexico was awesome, though, particularly the 2nd night. Thom even did a bit of I FEEL LOVE during The National Anthem. :D

This line always reminds me of Dogs Die in Hot Cars, the band name.

Radiohead denies influencing local band:

I'm gonna post this shit again, bitchez. I can't get tired of it ever, ever, ever. This one is for Turangalila. I will never tire of this song. It's like Can for god's sake. How does one tire of Can?

cee-lo singing > thom yorke singing

too bad the songs still fuckin awful

"go slowly" sounds just like cyann and ben at first and got me to wondering . . . has disc 2 ever come out on vinyl??

Some fans edited together a bootleg DVD of one of their shows last year, the band gave them the soundboard recordings and it's all available for free download. Thanks, internet.

This is the best thing ever.

Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood explains why the band released their last album direct to their fans

this is an amazing album

radiohead geeks are so into their bends/ok computer/kid a arguments that it will take decades of healing before they realize that this is the best radiohead album

There's just not a lot of dynamics with this records songs, tho. Every song just kinda sounds like a singular path, whereas OK Computer/Kid A would morph into entirely different creatures mid-tune, and do so perfectly. They were cinematic, if anything.. you just don't get all too much of with everything that was released thereafter.

this is my favorite Radiohead album

Yeah #1 or #2 for me. I listened to OK for the first time in years and was surprised by how grating a lot of it was. Hail to the Thief now seems like the first album where they lightened up and let the inspiration flow.

By far their best album

Sounded great this afternoon, that's for sure.

imo this review is more true to how i feel about In Rainbows than any other: http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/3903

That review is utterly baffling.

Reason I haven't heard king of limbs yet is because this band no longer registers on a 'new music' level for me. I'll listen to it in my own time, and strangely I think this is how they'd prefer it. Best band in the last twenty years btw.

Like a lot of Radiohead’s recent material, it’s the sort of thing that might sound amazing live, but that doesn’t fare as well under the spotlight of high-fidelity recording.

yeahh...I mean, really? I can think of maybe one song on this album that might be better live. the album's warm sound is the a huge part of the appeal.

doesn't feel very warm to me. very dry and remote, just kinda sitting there in an uninviting way.

The idea that an album of relatively traditional guitar/piano songs was attempting to be Xenakis and should be criticized for failing to be Xenakis is completely nonsensical.

i have no idea who Iannis Xenakis is so i won't argue with that

Jonny mentioned him in an interview twice so now he's the standard that radiohead is judged against

lol that dusted review was written by one of my college roommates and the guy who introduced me to ilx. he is a smart guy and a bro but i don't agree with that review.

ha does/did he post here?

yeah he was "charlie in va." i don't think he's posted in years, and even when he did, it was very sporadic.

"charlie va" i guess. looks like it's been six years since he last posted!

So is Thom Yorke the most notably inscrutable mumble-mouthed singer since prime Michael Stipe? Does anyone rate his lyrics? All that comes to mind is the scattered line or two.

i have no idea what he is singing, ever

Does anyone rate his lyrics?

Most aren't anything special, but he has a nice, unexpected way with deadpan humour now and then. Like "I'll be waiting/With a gun and a pack of sandwiches" from Talkshow Host. Whatever, I'm generally not much of a lyrics guy.

Some review pointed out that "You've got some nerve" is the most stereotypical Radiohead opening line ever, which is OTM.

I should go back and give this album another shot but every time I do, the experience is wholly irritating and I end up putting on Hail To The Thief instead.

(I really like Hail To The Thief so the experience isn't all bad.)

Melissa W,

In live shows, has Radiohead ever segued from "Reckoner" into a cover of "Silly Love Songs" by Wings?

recently i had pointed out to me that there's a random tambourine moment at :33 in "reckoner", never noticed it before. it's in the right channel along with the drums, really wonder if it could have been left in by mistake.

It's probably purposeful to show it's not all sequenced. They left in a really obvious bass error on Lotus Flower for the same reason.

I love this album but I usually skip the first 2 songs, from then on it flows really beautifully.

Cornish grammar is also rlly idiosyncratic, and Thom Yorke once made a video where he was transformed into a tree! How great is that?

i think this is one of my favorite radiohead albums. maybe like #2 or #3.
