so you're dismissing the album without even having heard it?  interesting.

Yawn.  I've listened to every Radiohead album.  I've liked each one less and less since the Bends.  How is me thinking that they're "past their sell date" based on my listening experience being overly dismissive?  
 
 To me, they've been heading down-hill for three albums.  That doesn't leave much room for optimism in their new material.
 
 Look, I know it's blasphemous to dismiss Radiohead since they are the be all end all of existence, but it's an opinion.  No reason to rush to their defense.  I think they'll do just fine on their own.

No, my friend. THAT is true story . . .

And you're being awfully sensitive.  Interesting.

This is my isane wishlist for this week.  Too bad I've had a killer month on the ol' Capital One card.  Between weddings and business trips I haven't gotten reimbursed for, I've got to wait a few weeks.
 
 EDIT: I did pick up the Beirut album from eMusic the other day.  It's pretty good; nothing earth-shattering by any means, but definitely worth a listen.

just seems to me that radiohead have re-invented themselves a few times, so of all band to maintain a bit of hope for methinks it's radiohead.  but they've obviously done you wrong once too many a time, so it's off to the dog house with In Rainbows...

[nkotb]

No wrong-doing...I just think they're boring.  Besides, like I said in my earlier post, I ordered the download...I just paid what I thought it would be worth, which wasn't much.

Where the hell am I? Radiohead is getting bashed, but not She Wants Revenge??

Really?  Who's "bashing" them?

She Wants Revenge isn't greeted with the same orgasmic rapture as Radiohead.  I don't really hate Radiohead, I just get annoyed by the hyperbolic exhortations that are inevitably a part of anything the band does.  Frankly, I'm pretty sure that a DVD of Thom Yorke taking a shit would elicit comments like "EPIC!!!" and "HOLY CRAP!!11!!1!!!!!OMG!!!"

a dvd of ANYONE famous taking a crap would be epic.

[nkotb]

But even moreso with that eye.  Imagine the things it would do trying to push one out.
 
 PS. I agree with GGW 100%.  Everyone knows that SWR are fucking lame.  What's the fun in bashing that?
