stickman Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 So they are mastering it in New York while not hanging out with Spoon. It's getting close! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Everyday I wake up hoping that this is the day a track or 2 leaks....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 i actually had a dream last nite about some new radiohead song. no joke. that's how much i'm anticipating this album. normally i don't like to listen to bootlegs of new songs before they're released, but i caved this time last year when they were touring. "videotape," "arpeggi," "15 step", "all i need", "bodysnatchers" all have potential to be among the best stuff they've ever written. and i'm sure they've got a few more tricks up their sleeves. "this is my way of saying goodbye..."

stickman Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah videotape gives me chills. And I am going to try to wait until the actual album comes out...I better tighten up the bolts if I don't want to get a leak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 i actually had a dream last nite about some new radiohead song. That just knocked loose a dream that I had a month ago. I was talking to someone in my car about how stoked I was about the new Radiohead album. At a red light Thom Yorke pulls up next to my car on a motorcycle. He says "I wouldn't get your hopes up too much," and then drives away.  I then woke up sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At one point I think I heard some low-fi live recordings of some new songs and was pretty meh about it--but that could have just been due to the lousiness of the recordings. Who knows?

Who knows? I saw them live last summer and enjoyed a good bit of the new tracks but I think they will certainly come to life in the studio. This is my most anticipated release in a long time (more so than SBS)...so whens this thing going to finally come out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 ...so whens this thing going to finally come out?A release date for the album has yet to be announced, but it is believed the album, the follow-up to 2003's 'Hail To The Thief', will be out before the end of the year.

jhh4321 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 sounds good to me but ill keep in mind the fact that nme is almost always wrong...about everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 well if its being mastered right now, we can always hope that there is a sneaky employee at the mastering place who is going to leak it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 After the last one, Radiohead was dropped from my "go out and get the album the day it's released" list. I hope this one is better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 After the last one, Radiohead was dropped from my "go out and get the album the day it's released" list. I hope this one is better.  I initially liked Hail To The Thief, but the songs just didn't hold up for me on repeated listens (There There being the exception). I really like Kid A, but I think the electronic elements of the last album really just bogged it down. That said, I might still buy this on its release date if early reviews are generally favorable, otherwise I might wait. I'm excited for this, but with some reservations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 i'm thinking this will be out in november. MAYBE october, but i'd be surprised if the release date is is only a few months off when it's announced. having said that, when the eraser came out last year, i think it was only announced like six weeks before the release date. so, who knows.

virtualreason Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 well if its being mastered right now, we can always hope that there is a sneaky employee at the mastering place who is going to leak it.  I bet Radiohead had that place on LOCKDOWN. Although I wouldn't mind hearing some early mixes. The HTTT early mixes were, in some cases, much different than the album's final mix. And what's with all this HTTT hate? While not their best album (Kid A), it certainly is a fine work that holds up after repeated listens. I can listen to it all the way through as easily as I listen to any other Radiohead album.

It's a solid album.Put it up against the likes of OK, Bends, Amnesiac and Kid A and it's a little lacking but hey...what isn't. And about those early mixes, not only were they different, I'd argue that they may have been better.

I can listen to it all the way through as easily as I listen to any other Radiohead album.It's not so much that I hate the album, it just didn't hold up for me all that well. At first I liked it pretty much through and through, but I don't know the electronic stuff in it seemed much more sluggish and inorganic as pieces of the music (compared to say Kid A), and the songs just don't catch my ear quite as well. If you like it great, but I just don't find myself revisiting it very much at all, whereas the other albums I definitely do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 My feeling for the new album is that it will be pretty much devoid of the electroic feel of Kid A/Amnesiac. HTTT was putting rock and computers together. I think it works, others feel differently. The new album (I can't wait until we at least get a title), is going to be Radiohead's second masterpiece; it will be grandiose and full of lush orchestration. It won't be a rock opera, because they don't have the dramatic vein, a la Muse, but it will be classical rock. Of course there will be good guitar songs (Bangers for one), but the songs we will be doting over will be the ones peppered with string arrangements by Greenwood the younger. If there is a computer-tinged song on the album, it will be one we havn't heard yet. One of those songs from the chalkboard that we were so anxiously awaiting to debut last year. As a final note, my guess for album title would be Hodiau Direkton or Down is the New Up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 What's wrong with that? Anything "(blank) is the new (blank)" is just so overdone, in my opinion. I expect better from The Radioheads. I like your expectations post overall though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are like one, maybe two, good songs on it. The rest of it is just Yorke's continued demonstration that he really does not like music of any kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 "Down is the new Up" is the name of one their new songs. I don't mind it as a song title, but I wouldn't want it as an album title either. I wouldn't mind "Dead Air Space", despite the fact it's been the blog title for a while. There was a "New Suburbia/Suburbanite" thing floating around on the blog for a while too...I'd be down with that for a title as well. Feels kinda similar to "OK Computer". I need this album now...

bobbob1313 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 They still don't have a record label, do they? I think Radiohead fans should be known as "Headheads"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
