Radiohead Band • Page 15

I can't imagine listening to a band's entire discography for the first time in one night, let alone Radiohead's. Their albums really benefit from repeat listens, and might take some time to grow on you. But I guess that might just be my preference.

 

Ha well I'm by no means bound by that, we'll see how it goes. I've done it before

 

I went to bed last night listening to The King of Limbs. "Lotus Flower" is sooooo good.

 

yeah, that's how I did it.

 

Maybe I'll do that then. unfortunately I don't tend to have a lot of patience, heh

 

I think going through all of them would be very cool though and then you could pick one that stood out to you to spend more time with.

 

Well now that sounds like a better idea. Haha idk man right now I'm too enthralled with White Lung to even start

 

I don't even know what White Lung is. I'd be interested in hearing what you think about the Radiohead albums though if you get around to it, ha.

 

Of course! Check out the new White Lung album, I'm digging it a ton.

 

and once you do, come here: White Lung - Paradise (May 6th, Domino) • Page 2 • forum.chorus.fm

 

there is a shitload of music coming out right now (as in may 6) that everyone should check out if this band doesnt end up releasing an album:

ANOHNI - HOPELESSNESS (electronic political protest record - i.e. if you like that aspect of radiohead, you might like this)
Julianna Barwick - Will (ambient pop)
James Blake - The Colour In Everything
White Lung - Paradise (punk)
Kaytranada - 99.9% (electronic/r&b)
LUH. - Spiritual Songs for Lovers to Sing (experimental rock, i guess)

 

Oh shit I didn't realize James Blake had a new album coming. All those others sound like stuff I would like so I'll check them out.

 

I will say that it's strange they didn't retweet or post anything about how they're headlining the ACL Festival. Radio silence.

I'm going to allow myself to believe something's coming tomorrow.

 

I almost got a ticket for ACL but I'm hoping they play Dallas in between weekends. With my luck they'll probably go to Mexico.

 

In Rainbows is quite the jam so far. Only at Jigsaw so far, but this is much different than anything I regularly spin.

 

They're playing Mexico City a few days before ACL, but they've said that they're done announcing headlining shows for the year. So ACL might be your only chance.

 

Don't really get all of the In Rainbows admiration either. It's a solid record but if I were to recommend a radiohead album for a first time listener it'd be Ok Computer or Kid A both of which are bonafide classics.

 

they're playing Mexico City on October 3rd

 

IR is sick - really focused songwriting, glorious arrangements and amazing production

it's a very obvious and effective starting point

 

"glorious arrangements"

yes

 

havent listened to OKC or Bends in a couple years, and I dont feel like I need to

 

Any good ways to pick this up on 180g vinyl? I'm in the U.S. so I don't quite trust shipping from overseas.

(In Rainbows)

Didn't really want my first listen to be YouTube, but that's what I had to do.

 

I feel like listening to In Rainbows just cheapens the experience of listening to OKC and Kid A for the first time, experincing the progression from album to album is such a critical part of listening to Radiohead imo.

Was a bit late to the game, but definitely thankful I listened to the discography sequentially.

 

The only 180g version I know of is the one that came with the special edition discbox. Goes for well over $100 on eBay these days.
