>>130231683What an album. Its gotta be in the bottom teir of radiohead albums right? I like ful stop best i think
>>130231683that was a pathetic way to close their discog shitty, complacent bunch of le """mature""" anemic songs that immediately teleport me to the nearest retirement homefuck this album, Pablo Honey and Crazy Frog compilations shit and piss all over it
I still love Daydreaming and Glass Eyes but I pass on the rest. I remember the live versions of Identikit years before the record came out were so much better. Most of AMSP feels monochrome art-damaged.
>>130231769The more experimental/atmospheric Radiohead became, the worst. The album might be popular with rymfags, but any normal music fan would tell that same thing. Even King of Limbs is better than this album, the best RH albums were the 2nd and 3rd, by A LOT
>>130231683>>130231750>>130231769>>130231793>>130231908I listened to this album once when it came out, was unimpressed, and never listened to it again. In Rainbows has aged the best, in that I can forget I'm listening to Radiohead.
I like Present Tense
>burn the witch>daydreaming>decks dark>Identikit>the numbers>true love waitsAll bangers, especially decks dark and the numbers. Album is only soso in comparison to their other high points, which are astronomically high. Radiohead is better than the beatles, if you disagree, you're a gay
>>130231927I don't think Rainbows aged the best, I'd say Kid A still aged better, followed by it, but the 2nd and 3rd mog later RH anyway I mean, compare this snoozefest : https://youtu.be/RfmE73FCOFg?si=gyhHCZfnUZP5JW76 To this (The Bends) : https://youtu.be/d7lbzUUXj0k?si=HpZV34N8-0VROSmG Or this (OK Computer) https://youtu.be/T6cJJ39PpBU?si=ll34YUjE5vsb-tiS "Maturing" apparently means losing all your energy and will to live, and becoming a boring snoozefest.
>>130231683I forgot this album before it even ended. Maybe that was the point though, their grand statement as a band.
>>130232046I agree that RH is better than the Beatles, but the 2nd and 3rd albums are doing 75% of the work here, remove them and I'd laugh at that statement.
I used to think this was their best album, but nowadays I'm more with >>130231908. Their music is way too melodramatic and self-serious, at least the rock stuff has that cozy late 90s feel.
>>130231750it has a few great moments, not a bad record, even by Radiohead's standard.I mean... Kid A is peak Radiohead but they put out some other good stuff too.
>>130231769 I'm relistening to Pablo Honey right now, and honestly absolutely agree, PH mogs MSP, no idea what's wrong with people too rank them so differently.
timid little bloke
This, Kid A and HTTF are my favourite Radiohead albums. Tell me how exactly I'm wrong
>>130232834>This, Kid A and HTTF are my favourite Radiohead albumsreplace Moon with Amnesiac and you have their best albums
it was great but nothing will ever top Kid A. probably because it's the greatest rock album ever made
>>130233345>Kid A>rockit's tourist idm-pop my dude
>>130233390fuck off elitist dipshit
>>130232284No, its definitely still good. But I dont think the best songs on the album rank in the top ten radiohead songs.
>>130233390You just got seethed at by a new tripfag. Nice one. I hope you're proud (and the tripfag an heroes tonight).
Top 3 album of theirs, beautiful art rock with a great ear for ghostly textures and ambience.
>>130232834Hello me.1. Hail to the Thief2. Kid A3. A Moon Shaped Pool4. OK Computer5. Amnesiac6. In Rainbows7. The Bends8. The King of Limbs9. Pablo Honey
>>130233826Same anon here, looks about identical with my hypothetical ranking, kek. HTTF remains their most underrated record, even TKOL has been getting more love recently.
>>130233840TKOL was actually my first one. I like it, but it absolutely baffles me as to how people think it's better than AMSP when that album takes TKOL's loops and sampling ideas and sends them into the stratosphere. It's almost like AMSP finished what that album started.
Coldplay did it better
Present Tense is Top 3 Radiojew songs
>>130234228>when the guitar cuts in through the building looped vocalsLike a beam of light parting stormy clouds. It's the little things.
O fuck. I can't believe it's been 10 years already. I remember randomly turning on BBC 6 and they were playing the whole album. It made me get back into Radiohead, previously I just liked OK Computer. I went to see them live that year. So for me this album is special. Honestly I sort of can't tolerate Thoms whiny voice at some songs. You could say I'm filtered I guess, but for what it's worth one of my favourite Radiohead songs is Pull/Pull Revolving Doors.
>>130233914And what THAT is exactly?
>>130231683It’s a pretty good album imo. Better than In Rainbows, not as good as The King Of Limbs. Daydreaming is one of Radiohead’s best songs. Desert Island Disk and Tinker Tailor are underrated. Present Tense is gorgeous and AMSP’s version of True Love Waits is also one of their best, for me. I’m not a big fan of Indentikit and The Numbers is one of their worst songs. Replace those two with Spectre and Ill Wind, and AMSP is in the top 3 with OK Computer and Kid A.Kid A > OK Computer > Amnesiac > The King Of Limbs > A Moon Shaped Pool > In Rainbows > The Bends > Hail To The Thief > Pablo Honey
All these years I thought Tinker Tailor was one of their worst songs but I listened to it the other day and it's actually pretty good
A disappointing album with non songs and constipated guitar work. But I said it at the time, they've been painting themselves into a corner for years by being militantly different each song
Kid A > Amnesiac > Hail to the Thief > OK Computer > In Rainbows > The King of Limbs > The Bends > A Moon Shaped Pool > Pablo Honey
>>130231769truthnuke
1) Ok Computer 2)The Bends 3)Kid A 4)In Rainbows 5) Hail to the Thief 6) Pablo Honey 7) Amnesiac 8) The King of Limbs 9) A Moon Shaped Pool
>>130235569Tinker Tailor is the song that's screwed the hardest by the tracklisting. All the songs it would make sense with appear at the beginning of the album like Burn the Witch and Decks Dark.>>130235634>militantly different each songThey haven't been "militantly different" since Amnesiac roped the Kid A sound back towards alt rock. Every album since has been to some degree a variation of that album.
>>130231683Why does it take this retarded fucking band to release new music a decade later?
>>130231683>Faggots think liking the shit of limbs makes them unique and interestingLMAO
>>130232046Only person with taste in this thread
>>130235069I agree with everything except i think true love waits is the weakest track (original live acoustic version mogs it). I think limbs is a masterpiece in its own right but i would swap it with rainbows and put a power gap after Bends
Glass Eyes is my favorite song. The social anxiety hits just right.
>>130231750Ful Stop sounds like they all decided they were gonna write a classic rockin' Radiohead song like the good ol' days but it came out stale and derivative and completely lacking the genuinely innovative and explorative spark of their best work. Daydreaming is Thom trying to write that trademark moody, subdued, contemplative piece that sticks in the back of your mind all day, but instead it's six minutes of boring, excruciatingly self-indulgent drivel. I don't know what the fuck they were going for on Identikit, some kind of avant-garde R&B shit, but it's just brutally corny from start to finish. The rest is mostly forgettable, generic, forced melodrama with the kind of corny lyrics that wouldn't be out of place on the latest Muse album. Terrible excuse for a Radiohead album that falters on so many levels.Ironically, The Smile's entire output so far dramatically exceeds anything Radiohead has put out in the past fifteen years.
>>130239473Ful Stop is just a krautrock song, dude.https://youtu.be/zndpi8tNZyQ?si=1Umt3xF0tvB3BtyH
>>130239535More like they should ful stop
>>130238301filtered :)
>>130232140I would say The Bends aged the best after In RainbowsOK Computer is probably objectively their best album except for maybe In Rainbows but it hasn't gotten better with time I've always thought Kid A was overrated, it's not as good as any of those albums I just mentioned
I've grown more tired of AMSP over time and haven't listened to it in ages but I still think it is a very solid release, easily in Radiohead's top 3-4 for me. Ful Stop, Decks Dark, Daydreaming, Identikit are all great IMO, and Present Tense is probably my favorite Radiohead song ever.
May as well ask this here. I remember for years and years the debate about the best Radiohead album was between The Bends, OK Computer, and Kid A. When In Rainbows came out it had a very lukewarm reception and I even remember seeing comments like "great for a free album" because of the whole pay what you want release. Nowadays I see In Rainbows brought up as their best pretty frequently alongside OK Computer and sometimes Kid A, with The Bends often being gleaned over. Sometimes I've even seen people say you can skip The Bends and it's not much worth listening to compared to In Rainbows, OK Computer, or Kid A.Is this just indicative of how much rock music has fallen out of the mainstream, or is something else going on here like a general reevaluation of their discography?
>>130241932Generational divide. In Rainbows is a millennial classic and The Bends is a Gen X classic, while OK Computer and Kid A landed both of them.
>>130241932Kind of >>130243016 but I think the divide is more Millennial/Gen Z. I'm a late Millennial myself and I don't remember anyone really praising In Rainbows that much in my age group compared to The Bends.
>>130241932>>130243016I think Its simply taste, the Bends and Ok Computer have wider appeal for people who like alt/00s rock, Muse etc... I was born in 1995, not sure what that has to do with anything.
>>130243992Mid-era Millennial here, I had no idea who Radiohead even was before In Rainbows. Didn't care until King of Limbs, but fuck if I had heard anything from HTTT or before. I don't think Gen Z even have a Radiohead album to claim, AMSP is mired in far too much middle age malaise.
