*a wild Clay appears* “hey guys, how’s the new Days Away record soundin’?”

 

I don't like Radiohead or The National ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I think I'm the one person who's in between on em

 

The fuck

 

What are you, 70 years old?

Or are you younger than 16?

only way this makes sense imo hahaha

 

Nah Chrystal and Matt aren't big fans. I think they maybe like one or two albums.

 

I like Radiohead, but I'm not obsessed with them or anything. I could maybe name ten songs off the top of my head.

They're fine, but none of their stuff has hooked me enough to make me want to dig deeper.

 

I've tried on multiple occasions to get in to The National, the vocals just aren't for me. Radiohead I honestly haven't given much of a chance but the few songs i've heard I didn't care for

 

The vocals are literally the vocal equivalent of bomb ass sex

 

Wouldn’t know.

 

Kid A
In Rainbows
OK Computer
King of Limbs

And just selective songs on the other albums

 

I'm still a virgin so I wouldn't know #KavanaughDefense

 

The National is very very good and somehow @CarpetElf makes me HATE them because he won't stop talking about how they're the best thing to ever exist

 

The best thing to ever exist is a corgi.

 

mewithoutYou >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Radiohead > The National

 

I want to fire you into the sun

 

Shit I forgot about this post, I take it back

 

I'm just speaking hyperbolicly though haha not trying to convince anyone of anything or put down anyone but Randall and Cowboys Fan.

 

You put your signs the wrong way

Edit: actually no Radiohead is a little bit better this is just generally incorrect

 

I think they're at their best as a weird rock band which is why I think of them as such. The album Hail to the Thief has songs I would show a person who was indifferent to Radiohead so they could see multiple sides of them.

-"2+2 = 5" shows their frantic side, almost punk-rock-aggressive
-"Sail to the Moon" is a gorgeous piano led, jazzy song
-"Go To Sleep" is like mathy radio rock - weird time signature but comfortable, aggressive melodies
-"Where I End & You Begin" is just infectious house drums & bass guitar with background ambience that gets louder and -thicker as the song goes on
-"There There" is crunchy, downtempo, 90s style indie-rock
-"Punchup at a Wedding" is like piano blues with an attitude (but an electronic drumbeat?)
-"I Will" is almost like, bedroom emo, one soft fingerpicked electric guitar with 4 part vocal harmonies
-"Wolf At The Door" is straight up one of Radiohead's best songs, epic sounding & the vocals really take lead and have an infectious style to them

And that still doesn't get into the grungy 90s brit-rock on The Bends, the Shoegazy atmospheres & jazz guitar riffs on In Rainbows, or the glitchy, colorful electronic stuff you'd hear on Kid A or Moon Shaped Pool.

 

All of those things can be true and still I don't find them to be a terribly memorable band haha.

Not in terms of influence or talent, but in terms of how can I listen to an album five times and remember nothing?

 

Has Elton John ever done the Super Bowl halftime show

 

He would crush anyone from the past decade of halftime shows.

 

Not the case for me, I find their songs to be very distinctive. I hate albums where I can't tell the songs apart, which is a problem I have with most punk rock. I remember exact parts of Radiohead songs because they are distinct and diverse.

They always have some weird part that sounds unique and then often a really sneaky good chorus that comes out of it that gets stuck in my head.
