Jospe Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I was just busting on Pavement...I love them...but their first two albums were definitely their best. I wasn't joking about SBS though...it's an awful P.O.S. Yes, In Rainbows is a terrible name. SBS is an average album, but it's better than In Rainbows. In Rainbows sounds like the Eraser produced by Godrich. What a snoozefest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a snoozefest. let me guess a. you have yet to listen to the album from beginning to end without distractionsb. you've only skimmed the album and not devoted much attentionc. you did both A & B, but only once or twice Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The truth is todays bands absolutely SUCK compared to the 60's and 70's greats. Those giants would turn out masterpieces every two years, sometimes every year. Today we get these ok records every 3-4 years. Thom Yorke and his Pro Tools rig painstakingly craft songs for years on end because they can't play properly. Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd could shit out an album and have it be musically superior, and do it on a regular basis. There's a real lack of ROCK missing from the new "canon". It's like everyone took wimpy pills or something. Even the harder rock bands lack dynamic range with power. Shit, the 70's folk bands could lay it down heavier. And in terms of live performances, Wilco and Radiohead get their tails kicked by bands like the Flaming Lips and the Drive By Truckers. The Lips and Truckers are INCREDIBLE live shows, and they also make fantastic studio records. They are a real throwback to the true greats of the 60's and 70's. End thread.

Jesusetc84 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Pink Floyd could shit out a record like this? I'm sorry but Pink Floyd is mad overrated. Also, The Flaming Lips have like...one legit masterpiece. Compared to Radiohead's 3 or 4, and Wilco's 2 or 3....yeah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Essox is the reason why there should be a chaperone around when cousins of opposite sex are together.ouch. on topic- i have never listened to radiohead. should i start with this record? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 ouch. on topic- i have never listened to radiohead. should i start with this record? I would start with the Bends, then go to OK Computer if you like that, then Hail to the thief, then this, THEN if you like all those, Kid A! All of them, in my humble opinion, are fantastic, and in terms of how digestible they are, thats the order id go in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just as I thought - for those of you that are on that one place, check out how many times it has been uploaded there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Especially silly since, if one was to be on that one place, and went to the place on that one place to upload "things", one might see a warning in big-red-bold text warning them not to do exactly what you mentioned.

bjorn_skurj Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 ouch. on topic- i have never listened to radiohead. should i start with this record?No. Get The Bends or OK Computer. The latter, especially, is a good autumn album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Let's just get this out of the way:End thread. i love the Lips, but he doesn't fit in that arguement because you know he doesn't have the greatest voice and i would bet they work pretty hard on laying down those vocals on the records. Thom Yorke likes to do one take and be done with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What lyrics I've 'listened' to on this album.... sounds like Thom's least lyrically vague album yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i love the Lips, but he doesn't fit in that arguement because you know he doesn't have the greatest voice and i would bet they work pretty hard on laying down those vocals on the records. Thom Yorke likes to do one take and be done with it. the Lips use pitch correction which probably helps Wayne a lot, I wonder if Radiohead does. there were four long years between Yoshimi and AWWTM, so the Lips are about the same as Radiohead in output these days. Bands getting bogged down in the studio always spells trouble for me, maybe that's why HTTT is my favorite Radiohead album since it was done quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 My main problem with HTTT is that it isn't that good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peqger Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 To me, HTTT is Radiohead's AGIB: coming on the heels of an amazing album (grouping Kid A & Amnesiac as one album here) makes it feel slightly underwhelming. Also, both have a few questionable songs and run a good fifteen minutes too long. Nevertheless, both are good if not great albums, but to each his own, I guess.

Dude Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 In Rainbows is the Manute Bol to Sky Blue Sky's Muggsy Bogues. There are times when Mr. Yorke's apparent hatred of music gets on my nerves.If In Rainbows doesn't contain music, I'm at a complete loss as to what you think it does contain.
