ZenLunatic Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The last three or four Radiohead albums have had music on them, sure. But it is music made by someone, I feel, who has a visceral dislike for music, as I have a visceral dislike for writing. What are you trying to say? Why do you think that?

Sir Stewart Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 My interpretation of bjorn's statement: Thom Yorke is tortured by the music in his head, and spits it out because he has to, not because he wants to. Or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jospe Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 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. In Rainbows is about as good as Mystics too, as in very mediocre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What are you trying to say? Why do you think that?His constant effort to reduce music to a series of barely or non-tonal electronic blippage, I think. I mean, why doesn't he just take a microphone to one of those old-school modems and release that as a CD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it is music made by someone, I feel, who has a visceral dislike for music, as I have a visceral dislike for writing. maybe you mean that Radiohead doesn't pander to anyone and delivers music that they are comfortable expressing, without regard to other people's notions of what "music" is...i'd say that it's a pretty admirable quality. they put it out and if you like, fine, and if you don't, that's fine too. it's a very personal art form, and if it somehow connects with anyone else out there, then that it makes it all the more powerful.

Jospe Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Pink Floyd could shit out a record like this?They would never shit out a record this boring and tuneless - except for the Final Cut.Also, The Flaming Lips have like...one legit masterpiece.lol.Let's just get this out of the way:End thread. I can't believe you actually took the time to look that up.let me guessa. 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 twiceI've heard them numerous times. They are albums that bands make as they fade. The problem with Radiohead and Wilco fans is they dominate the net in terms of fanbase. This tends to create a sheep-like lack of objectivity. These aren't good records. Very, very few people will care about SBS or IN Rainbows a couple years from now. There isn't a single memorable song on either record - and great bands make memorable songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But there's a fine line between artistic integrity and being weird for weird's sake. Perhaps because I work in a city awash with artists far better at hustling and self-promotion than actually making art, I am suspicious of and sensitive to mediocrity masquerading as artistic integrity.

There isn't a single memorable song on either record - and great bands make memorable songs. Cant speak for In Rainbows cause I only heard it once so far but I do like it. But Sky Blue Sky is a bonafide great album and a true classic. In the years to come, it will only grow in appreciation. People will wonder why people dont make albums like SBS anymore. So if you dont like those what do you like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 In Rainbows is about as good as Mystics too, as in very mediocre. In all due respect sir, Mystics was a flaming pile of garbage.......In Rainbows is at the very least fascinating, further listening will reveal if it is great. At this point my greatest criticism is that it is so full of ideas that the track list could be easily shuffled and attain the same results. It might be too much an amorphous glob of musical genius to have the arc that makes OK Computer or Kid A classics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jospe Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Time will tell. So what do you like then? Whats a good album to you? Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, House of the Holy, Who's Next, Sticky Fingers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Musical genius without one memorable song....hey, that *is* genius! I think that is an overexaggerated but ultimately fair criticism. There is inarguably, a density to In Rainbows that might not yield a memorable song until we've spent more time with it; or if your right, it is a lot of genius playing and arranging that has a sum lesser than its parts. Which is essentially an artistic failure. This sounds like a conversation about James Joyce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZenLunatic Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, House of the Holy, Who's Next, Sticky Fingers. Name something new and not already considered a classic. Everyone likes does, they are my favs too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Musical genius without one memorable song....hey, that *is* genius! the opening beat of the album on 15 steps doesn't stick in your head - especially once the guitar comes in?i heard it once or twice from bootlegs over a year ago and instantly remembered the song - never really forgot it. was this your first major exposure to Radiohead?i love 60's/70's music as well, but i almost get the feeling you only checked the album out because of all the press.perhaps you went into it not expecting much, wanting the 60's/70's to be recreated.going into it that way, i can see how you would not like it.any records made in the past few years that you like?

lost highway Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, House of the Holy, Who's Next, Sticky Fingers. The All Music Guide to Rock could tell you that. Not a risk in that list. I am reminded of the scene in Hi-Fidelity when Cusack names Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit in his top five side one track one list. Jack Black says "God, that isn't obvious. Do you even like music? WHy don't you just pick side one track one of Beethoven's fifth symphony" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
