Yeh didn't particularly enjoy KOL to be honest, it was well.....a bit of a fecking bore.
Yeh not meaning to state anything as fact Leroy, just my opinion of course.
Correct but for me that depth isn't exciting in any way whatsoever, there is no real innovation. It sounds basically like a collection of 60's style pop songs with the occassional spattering of quite vibrant guitar riffs that try to preserve some kind of energy throughout the album. Turner completely bores me throughout, there is not enough variation in his delivery....he just drones on in a typically self-indulgent manner. There are some really bad songs in there as well......Black Treacle & Brick by Brick are awful and to make it worse they follow each other. It's different to what they have previously done but that doesn't mean changes in direction should simply warrant extra kudos.
Thing is Leroy I believe they have played it way safe with SIAS. They floundered with Humbug because firstly there was no flow to the album, it was a mess, and also because a lot of their fans didn't like the new sound, which was again hackneyed and poached from the various Americanised indie bands of the early 2000's. They received poor record sales....so they tried to revert a bit more to type with SIAS and hence the marginal increase in record sales. It's a tad more accessible for your standard indie bum.
I can't recommend enough just skipping Pablo Honey (you can come back to it later) & working through the albums chronologically. The Bends is so immediate that it's not an album you have to keep playing for it to grow on you, then you're straight into OK Computer. By the time you've played 20 or so tracks you've heard what for me are two of the best albums of all time & you should have a decent idea if you like the band & want to hear more. If neither album does anything for you, I'd say put on the opener of Kid A as a final act to see if the different sound piques your interest.
Yup, that's pretty much it for me in a nutshell.
I'm not arsed reading through the pages in this thread. I'm too tired, and so forgive me if you were just having a bit of a laugh, but average and radiohead just cannot be put into the same sentence, even if their style isn't to your taste.
fecking love Tool. It's ok to like both bands you know?
It's fun to like both bands and to take your clothes off and do the helicopter with your willy.Cheers mate. Will listen to these single numbers first and then start album wise with the Bends.
I don't mind Radiohead. They have some great tracks, of that there is no question. I have 4 of their albums in my itunes library and I have seen them live. It is just that, for me, they fall someway short of the exalted billing that some of their fans give them.fecking love Tool. It's ok to like both bands you know?
Granted, I tend to be harsher on them because the hype baffles me but it really does baffle me. I'll probably give them another go just to see whether there's still something there for me but I really don't see anything special about them.
Kinky Melinky;12552643If they had existed in and around 1790 and mirrored a style that was fashionable back then said:
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is one of the best albums I have ever listened to... it's a real gem, it gets to the heart:
Ok, you've convinced me... getting those two albums and will listen to them seriously... will give you a feedback.
Most anticipated album of the year. I heard they were recording with an orchestra so I'm wondering if Spectre was a teaser for what's to come.The opacity keeps changing, people on reddit going nuts over it.Something is happening on their website right now, it may be a countdown to a new single/album today
Metallica did that album in darker tones.. my guess is on midnight tonight..
