Helter Skelter Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I still love Decks Dark but I wished they jammed on it a bit more live. Like, I love that Radiohead isn't a jam band but when you have a sweet outro like in that song and in Reckoner, it's cool to keep it going for, like, an extra minute when you're playing live Yeah. Like that orgasm of a jazz jam at the end of optimistic - make that a 21 minute instrumental please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naomi Whats Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I listened to it today and it's so excellent. For real though I shouldn't listen to Present Tense and TLW at work coz I damn near burst into tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabinessence Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 great record ya, desert island disc is not my fav but the band themselves sure do love it, like i said b4 i think the numbers does what did does but more effectively. they're similarly structured songs, this repetitive 3 chord thing. not slighting the simplicity- that's kinda what rh do best, simple song at its core with unexpected things going on within and around it--spectre tho is my fav of this "set" or whatever. such a killer tune. i wish they'd try to do it live tho i realize that it would be difficult and probably boring without all those strings. anyway carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
box Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The strings are pretty simple but yeah it wouldn't be as good Agree about it maybe being the best song of the era though, though Decks Dark and Present Tense are up dere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babydoctor Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 In rainbows was such an incredible run of songs that stand completely on their own, I'll honestly be surprised if they release anything like that again. The last two albums have had more ambitious "sounds", but... Nah. Almost every song on in rainbows could make it on a best of compilation without me feeling any reservations.

Naomi Whats Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Agreed. I think AMSP is a beautiful and unique album, but In Rainbows is on a whole other level. It basically checks every box. It has great songwriting of OK Computer, cohesion of Kid A, and the beauty of A Moon Shaped Pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris. Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 any album that wastes time with a faust arp or a house of cards is not GOAT and in this case not even close to greatest in one's own discography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Tracker Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 any album that wastes time with a faust arp or a house of cards is not GOAT and in this case not even close to greatest in one's own discography House of Cards = 10.0 Faust Arp does what it does perfectly and you're hardly 'wasting time' at 2 minutes. The nearest thing to a fault with IR is I still think they could have squeezed Bangers in on there near the start. Possibly DitNU but I can see why they didn't.

chris. Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 bangers and mash is outstanding yeah, ditnu is musically kind of cool but lyrically kind of atrocious? this is where i don't think i get along with radiohead fans because ditnu is as bad as my high school lyrics could possibly have been. and all the thom yorke cliches apply.
