elysiumart

Picked it up yesterday too.

This is so strange. Just this morning, in my car I was listening to Amnesiac and I was thinking it was time for Radiohead to have a new one. I mean it has been a while, and what do you know....

so it's good eigh? I think that OK Computer is probably one of the best albums. It is just good song writing.
I'd like to hear some clips and see if I'm going to purchase it.

Later,

~Binary is best~

I'm gonna buy it the day after tomorrow. I'm gonna love it, I simply adore everything they've done so far.

*turns up 'Exit music (for a film)'*

If you liked Ok Computer then I think liking the new one is a dunker

So it's more Ok Computer style?
Awesome.

Woohoo! Actually, I've never heard OK Computer, but I like their other stuff. Actually, I forgot about them completely for the most part, but anyways, I'll probably download it, see if it's any good, and if it is then buy it.

I've never heard of their tracks before...I might get some "Fallen" by Evanescence though.

Radiohead is my favorite band! I got the Hail to the Thief yesterday morning too. The on campus record store here gave me a poster and a vinyl single when i bought the CD. The poster is hangin' on my wall and the single has a good b-side I've never heard before.

I agree that this one is more OK computer-esque than kid a and amnesiac, but they havn't hung up their theremins and moogs just yet.

Anyone else see the video for there there? I thought it was pretty cool and kinda trippy.

Yannah, if you're gonna listen to some radiohead tracks, judging from what little bit I've infured about your musical tastes. I suggest you start with these: Creep, Exit Music (For a Film), Paranoid Android, Street Spirit, and Karma Police. These are their more mainstream hits that you'll maybe recognize.

Actually, I tend to veer away from pop-ish music (I'm more of a rock, alt-rock, reggae and dub type guy) but Evanescence's Fallen is a good album. It's got a pretty strong gothicy, pseudo-metal sound.

Ok Computer is by far my favorite of Radioheads.

I got the new one last night, its pretty cool. I really like the first song and number 5 also.

I'd also like to note that the website http://capitolrecords.com/radiohead/ is very cool

Shine and shine. :: [Cell=992] :: [See my team's 30 second animation!! ]

I haven't even heard of that band before.

Yannah, give them a listen and let us know what you think of them. You just might like them

I just listened to some of the sound clips on Amazon, and I'd say that I probably won't buy it. Maybe download. I'm not sure. Overall, maybe a 4/10.

I had never heard Radiohead before (although I have heard of them), so I gave them a listen (Bmud's link). I have to admit that I'm very apathetic about the music. I don't necessarily dislike it, but I don't think I really like it, either. It's just kind of there, at least for me. I don't think I would listen to it by choice, though. Just not my type of music, I guess.

Each of their CD's is completly different. You should maybe try out some of the older stuff, like OK Computer, or maybe their first one, which I really like.

Yeah, its definetly the kinda stuff that grows on you. OK computer and The Bends would be the best places to start. Unless you really are into electronica, then I'd say go with Kid A

OK, I'll give some of the older stuff a listen. I'm gathering by what cfb said above that Amazon has sound clips for albums they sell?

just got back from the shop...hey is it just my cd or sounds the beginning of the first song like...well....like the cd is damaged or so?

mas - My CD was damaged, I had to take it back. The guy said someone just came in right before me with the same problem.

Suho: Yep. They usually have 30 second clips of the first 1/3 (approximattly) songs.

mhm well its just the first 6-10 seconds or so....but now i have listened to it again more precicely and i think thats just for fun...i....i think my cd is ok :-

Yea, you would be able to tell, because there is this scrating sound through out the whole thing, like it was an old record or something.

It might or might not be the copy protection on it screwing up... yet they may have done it on purpose.

Coincidentally, I bought it today, and when I walked out of the store I found out my bike got stolen. I'm pretty pissed now.

I still think that Kid A is their best album.

Thom Yorke's musical persona seems like a moth drawn to the porch light of what Cat Power's Chan Marshall calls the psychological horror of being the lead singer. His fey voice fluttering with the buzzing inconstancy of quickly-beaten wings, Yorke liltingly lets loose with wracked-man wailings across almost the entire set. There's not a no-brainer rock song here, and the record is essentially chorus-free -- good stuff.

i heard a song off the new album yesterday on radioparadise, and i must say im impressed. never been much of a fan but i might go pick up this album.

i know how you feel mahjqa my bike got stolen from behind the local police station of all places!

Don't expect me to give any indepth reviews, I just want to mention that after some days of listening I really like it.. "Wolf at the door" is the current favourite. Thanks for your kind replies about the bike.. I'm gonna buy a new, cheap piece of crap, see how long it'll manage before it falls apart.

Welp, talk about digging up old threads:

I went to Fry's yesterday intent on buying 'Mother's Milk,' and, whaddya know, I must of grabbed the wrong CD, because by the time I was at the register (I had picked up some RAM an 8x USB card) I realised that I had accidentaly grabbed 'Hail to the Thief,' which must of been replaced. Well, I'd already waited in line long enough next to an insanely large number of unwashed nerds (I'm the 'washed nerd'), and, not wanting to wait another 15 minutes in line, just decided to buy it and get 'Mother's Milk' later.

Then, after listening to it, (and very much liking it), I remembered this thread. Definitaly a great CD.

yup...
