Dude Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Don't rush out and buy it. 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. That's weird - to me HTTT is their most conventional set of songs since The Bends.

theashtraysays Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Interesting opinions on Thief. For me, it didn't hold up well except a few tracks. I really liked it when it came out but I don't listen to it much any more. But Eraser was a real grower for me. Once I made myself listen to it a dozen times I started liking it a lot, and a lot more than Thief. Still do. Anxiously awaiting the new one, but expecting it to be a grower too.

Elixir Sue Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 A Wolf at the Door. Flan in the face! I love that song. And lest we forget "Where I End and You Begin"...so good. Hail To the Thief is a great album, IMO. I'm definitely excited about the new album, and hopefully another US tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickman Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 and hopefully another US tour. Yes! I would love to see them in a more intimate setting than with 80,000 other people at Bonnaroo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chendizzle Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The Bonnaroo version of 15 Step just came up on shuffle. I freakin love that song, I hope it translates well in the studio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well, I relistened to HTTT the other day, and I still didn't like it that much. The song about the fight at the wedding was good, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 i like all the songs on HTTT, it's just too long, bloated.the track order is just horrible, too.Sail to the Moon as track 3?something about the sound (maybe mastering) leaves some to be desired, too. at least they're mixing in NY instead of LA - hopefully not the same guy as HTTT or Amn. i guess everyone knows a month or so ago Nigel put up a youtube clip with brief snippets of a few of the tracks...it was originally on Dead Air Space, but last time i looked, it didn't seem to show.

trevor Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 that clip is still up on youtube, i think. searching for LP7 or nigel or some combination of those should pull it up. that clip is the biggest tease ever considering how it's just a slice and dice version of about 5 different songs, most of them barely recognizable, but damn...i want it nooooooooooow. and yeah, i'm not sure what it is about HTTT that leaves something to be desired. i think the track listing is partially it, but i think they also rushed the recording of it. if you saw them tour after the album was released/listen to bootlegs of the songs then, many have progressed and became much more interesting tracks...all around better tracks, actually. "backdrifts," "go to sleep", "the gloaming" improved immensely. so i dunno, i'm kinda glad they're taking their time in the studio with this one, although the wait is absolutely killing me.

trevor Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 one of the guys who posts over on atease, who apparently is fairly reliable and doesn't BS that much, works at a recording studio or something. according to him, word in the industry is that a major announcement regarding radiohead/LP7 is coming down the pipes at noon on thursday. i haven't read the entire thread, so i'm not sure if that's noon in NA or in the UK, but yeah. trying not to get my hopes up. even if it was just a release date, that'd be nice. or an album title. or a tracklisting. i'll take anything at this point, basically.

benjamin Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 trying not to get my hopes up. even if it was just a release date, that'd be nice. Everyday I hope for something. The fact that I saw this thread active again gave me palpitations.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rileykill Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I listened to HTTT maybe a half dozen times then shelved it. About a month ago, I pulled it out and listened to it during my afternoon run. I really got into it. I started to get that on edge, tweaky, slightly panicked feeling (as usual) about halfway through mile 3 and that made it even better. By the end of mile 4 I was sold. Lesson? HTTT is best enjoyed during periods of temporary discomfort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
