Yes, and I imagine this has been said before but what I admire them most for is the whole thing "OKAY BLAM! HERE IT IS! YOU'VE GOT A MERE TEN DAYS!" you know??? Instant's notice, a Gemini's dream. Etc. No anticipation, nothing. Now or never.
― Bimble, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:32 (sixteen years ago) link
in such a short time something like this has become so rare.
it has to be an instant notice thing like that because if not it would never work. it would find its way onto the internet.

OMG will someone please post this to the LOL Excelsior thread. For that just about sends me into all the LOL's I'm going to have tonight before I pass out.
WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS NOT A SURE THING! THIS ALBUM MAY SUCK ASS! IT COULD BE WORSE THAN AMNESIAC! (whoops didn't mean to start a war about this kind of thing, please carry on, quite sorry)
― Bimble, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:52 (sixteen years ago) link
In the middle of listening to this.
Predictions: People will say this sounds like HTTT pt. 2 Little "progression" Not nearly as good as Kid A or OK Computer
― three handclaps, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Also I think some of the live versions from the 2006 tour were better.
Oh fuck, "All I Need" is amazing.
I need to review what I just said!!
ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
― three handclaps, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:55 (sixteen years ago) link
i didn't pay but i ordered it minutes after the order page went up on the 1st, maybe they're rolling it out in batches to prevent the server from buckling
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:55 (sixteen years ago) link
no alarms and no spoilers, please? lol

Oh god!!! What if it's one of those albums where 50% of the people like it and 50% think it's crap?
― Bimble, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:57 (sixteen years ago) link
THE HORROR!
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:58 (sixteen years ago) link
YES. I have listened to the first three tracks of this, am extremely tired and really pleased with what I heard. Must sleep now. Bodysnatchers is a little kraut-rock, no?
― jonathan - stl, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:58 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i just ordered it today. comforting to think that maybe theyre just trying to be civil.

Oh goodness, I feel like one of those hopeless kids about to get a new Harry Potter. (Except in my case cries of, "It's like HTT/Amnesiac" is like hearing that "Harry gets AIDS on page 84 and spends the rest of the book conjuring a cure. He dies on the last page.")
― Cunga, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:59 (sixteen years ago) link
ps I'm glad the internet didn't explode.
― jonathan - stl, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 05:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Amnesiacis their best album. And if Harry got AIDS and died that book would've been so much better.

3 tracks in and im loving it
― gman, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 06:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Amnesiac? The best album they've ever done? Hey I'd even bump you The Bends on that one, mate. You are WRONG.
― Bimble, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 06:03 (sixteen years ago) link
4 TRACKS IN THIS SHIT SUCKS I WANT A REFUND PLZ.
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 06:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Amesiac has their best songs, so it's their best album. It's that simple.
― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 06:05 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah so i still havent gotten shit
― deeznuts, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 06:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Which song? I admit it's been awhile since I've heard it. I love certain songs on Kid A but part of me is one of those lamers that "wants them to start playing REAL MUSIC" (i.e. simple guitar rock). Though, as I listen to In Rainbows, it certainly "rocks" like one of their earlier albums.

At this rate ILM will stop with the message board atmosphere and will become more of chatroom by midnight pacific time tonight. (And with, yes, a/s/l questions being fielded in the Teen Pop thread)
