HOLY CRAP - NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM 10/10/07

[Sage 703]

For an album that I think is maybe Radiohead's most "song-based," in that a lot of songs really stand on their own merits, I think the flow of the album is very impressive.

I agree completely with this. It's okay, nothing that great. Where are the melodies? Just seems like it's all atmospherics and clever "vibe" but it's just not compelling. Kid A was great because it had an experimental edge to it, but songs like National Anthem, Optimistic and How to Disappear still had great tunes underneath those bleeps and twikkies. Would it kill them to have something - anything - that resembles a chorus, riff or hook?

See, sonick, one of the differences between you and I is that when someone doesn't suck my favorite bands' dicks with the vigor I do, I don't get sand in my vagina over it.   :roll:

sand in my vagina?  oh, i was making fun of YOU because you were getting sand in your vagina when ppl were aweing at Radiohead and not at the Pumpkins.  
 
   you seem to easily forget. so it seems, the difference between you and me , is that you DO get sand in your vagina and i dont. lol.
 
   cant believe i reeled you in that easily!

I wish I had still had the link to the 8-foot vinyl Coldplay banner that sonick bought on eBay.

in other news. Tracks 1-5 have been listened to, and i really know i must say this everytime i hear a new record by these guys
 
   its amazing, i love it, it seems like part OK / part Kid A with a little HTTT in it to me.
 
    track 2 and 5 are my favourites as of now....

The problem with this statement is this never happened. No one on here has ever went "the Smashing Pumpkins suck" and I've flipped out in the least or argued with their opinion. It makes no difference to me whether you or anyone else likes SP. Just because you say something happened enough doesn't make it true.
 
 On the other hand, no less then a week ago when I dared to challenge that Radiohead giving away the album for free "was revolutionary" on a pure factual basis, you did throw a hissy-fit and started attacking other bands, which had nothing to do with anything, and so I didn't dignify your ad populum with a response. You're just acting utterly ridiculous. You're like one of those 14 year olds who defend Good Charlotte or Fall Out Boy with arguments consisting of "yer gay!" Only at 30, the band is now Radiohead (who are my 2nd favorite band, btw). Grow up for heavens sake.    :roll:

what are you talkin about?  you have me confused, and you are obviously really upset cause where did Fall out boy come into this conversation?
 
  heres what happened:
 
   1. people were like "ooh Radiohead is putting out an album online"
 
   2. someone compared Radiohead to the Pumpkins/QOTSA/Foo Fighters as DC101 bands.
 
   3. i proclaimed Radiohead as better than all of those crappy bands.
 
   4. you brought up something about Billy Corgan beating Radiohead to releasing an album online
 
   5. i said, it was probably some record label marketing guys idea anyway.
 
   6. you broke out "ad populum"
 
   then later:
 
   7. someone says they want hooks in the Radiohead songs
 
   8. i say buy a SP record.
 
   9. you call me a Fall Out Boy fan and say i have sand in my vagina.
 
    really. the smashing pumpkins arent even a band to me anymore, so why would i get all mad about them?  i'm bored with this and i am sorry i brought up the Pumpkins again...i should've known better...jeez.
