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.

that phish album is way more off-kilter pop than jam

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.

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 (thirteen years ago) link
i like this cover a lot actually but i kind of think of radiohead as a joke about radiohead now.

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 (thirteen years ago) link
Doesn't have Backdrifts on, which is my favourite.
― Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:07 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
