Actual answer = nothing has happened to ILM. Well, nothing and everything, but what's happened is irrelevant, because the Amnesiac thread is largely full of of praise. Bit like this one.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 October 2007 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know why that didn't work.
So... Amnesiac

Anyway:
My formal review for the OC Weekly
My acknowledgment of its inherent limitations. There's a lot there I'd already rewrite, but I think that about everything.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 11 October 2007 21:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I really like how Arpeggi keeps that 3 over 4 hemiola or whatever going for the whole song, it's tricky but sounds natural.

"15 Step" finds drummer Phil Selway going off on acoustic and electronic beats that could easily have been hitting the charts in recent times (they'll surely be used on mixtapes before the year is out).
Ned, you know I love you, but there's not a lot of rap in 5, dude. :>

LET ME DREAM (however stupidly).
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 11 October 2007 21:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Actually that would be a great Radiohead B-side title from 1995.
which would be "bryter later". the weakest nick drake.
Totally wrong there of course
― trailofgybe, Thursday, 11 October 2007 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
That's okay, I remember making a post after HttT came out, something about wanting to hear Ludacris on Backdrifts. :/

I may have missed the corresponding Billboard article, but is this album being tabulated like any other, i.e. will it show up on the album chart next week?
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 11 October 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
"reckoner" = radiohead's "new grass"?
― jackl, Thursday, 11 October 2007 22:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Ned made this comparison in his review

Not to the song specifically. "Ascension Day" is the other song I've heard so mentioned...
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 11 October 2007 22:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Aaah, Rainbows; I like those.

Alex very much OTM upthread there. I don't get the love.

They've never done anything as pretty as 'Nude'.

'Faust Arp' is a big fuck you to all those crap buskers who learnt to play 'Street Spirit' and thought they could impress people. Let's see you play these chords then!

At Ease sez that someone else sez 1.2 million "sales". I guess that's a combination of downloads from the sites and orders for the discbox.
― Z S, Friday, 12 October 2007 02:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Hmmm...that's 1.2 miilion without counting discboxes, whoops. "The band will cash in again when the payments clear for the ‘In Rainbows’ box set which are on sale for £40 a go"

First sentence of album review on Rolling Stone dot com:
These wily boys may have a secret album-title exchange program with Kelly Clarkson, but everything else about In Rainbows is typically hard-rocking Radiohead.
― stephen, Friday, 12 October 2007 06:15 (sixteen years ago) link
In reference to Rolling Stone review, from Idolator dot com:
BY CHRIS N. AT 10:54 AM "None of it sounds like any other band on earth," yet "'House of Cards' is a fragile lovers-rock ballad closely resembling Dusty Springfield's (and the Byrds') 'Going Back.'"

i had never seen a shooting star before
― ciderpress, Friday, 12 October 2007 06:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Also of interest?... One of the guys from Portishead speaks about In Rainbows, and its effects on the industry:
"so then.......music for free is it? well fuking great. so if you get our album for nothing or very little , does that mean i can get my boiler fixed for free... --------i could tell the plumber that its all for the love of sharing and its to combat the evil money grabbing corperation that is zanussi. ...............im sure he will understand. also im not having a pop at radiohead they are fuking good and clever with it. anyways im sure it will all become clear at some point"
― stephen, Friday, 12 October 2007 06:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Couldn't you also argue the opposite? Why should Bono get a million dollars for singing some shitty song and a plumber get much less for hammering away all day long?
― filthy dylan, Friday, 12 October 2007 07:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Why would a plumber be hammering? Welding, more like.
― nate woolls, Friday, 12 October 2007 07:14 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm still not sure where the hell "free jazz" comes in on Kid A or Amnesiac.

Yeah, "House of cards" is like "Going back" I have to say, but it's still the most catchy tune on there.
― Mark G, Friday, 12 October 2007 08:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Here's what I think of the songs, though. Honestly.
------
Brilliant: 15 Step, All I Need, Reckoner
Enjoyable: Bodysnatchers, Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Boring: Nude, House of Cards, Videotape
Utter crap: Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Faust Arp

Don't get me wrong, no doubt they'll grow on me soon and my whole perception of the album will change. Bad songs will become good, good songs will dull slightly, etc. Always the way with Radiohead albums somehow. I hated Let Down and loved Electioneering when I first heard OK Computer.
― nate woolls, Friday, 12 October 2007 09:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Can I be the only one to compare the world-unites Radiohead chatter to the simultaneous "Doctor" shouts that freed David Tennant from his cage and made him a God?
Thanks.
