The Radiohead - In Rainbows Thread

Featured Replies

You know, I'm really liking the having to buy two copies thing. My sister hates Radiohead. Can't stand them. But suddenly decided she likes 15 Step. I gave her my spare burned cd when I bought a proper copy the other day, and told her to listen some more before she judges it. She actually agreed.

 

Forget the Bends, if you're trying to get into Radiohead, listen to In Rainbows first. It really is their most accessible album.

 

I think you are probably right actually. and it combines bits of Hail to the Thief, Kid A and the Bends

 

so you can then get into them from this.

Yeah, I still have to find somebody to give my burnt copy too. Even though it skips all the time. I guess I listened to it.

I'm lucky my sister loves Radiohead. Maybe I should just give it to her.

$16? for a new CD? not that expensive. Here' date=' they usually cost 17€. Takk is still 17€, OKC is even 18€ although it's not new at all (still, it's excellent :D), and The Eraser was also 17€ when it came out. I'd soo like to spare those 2 euros ... :P i know it's not that much, but you spare a lot if you buy a lot of cds ;)[/quote']

 

Haha complain ! I live in France AKA Taxland. Here a new CD costs between 18€ and 23€. This is a real incitation to illegal download.

First time I heard France being called Taxland, normally it's the French calling this country "Treasure Island" with all the taxes we have on stuff.

i got my brother into radiohead recently. he said he hated in rainbows, though, all except the "floppy fish" song (aka "weird fishes"...i just about died when he called it that). but he's really into pablo honey and the bends and parts of ok computer now. i figure the rest will come with time :D

 

ok, totally random question:

in "15 step" does anybody else notice this strange effect that sounds exactly like a group of young kids all shouting "YAY!!!!" at once? it happens after the line "fads for whatever" and in a couple other places. i was wondering if anybody else a) noticed this and b) could tell me if this is an actual effect from an instrument or it is in fact a soundclip of a bunch of ecstatic children. because it sounds a hell of a lot like the latter to me.

It's the Matrix Music School Children's Choir

^Thats my favourite part of 15 step!

 

And Floppy Fish is my favourite song on In Rainbows :P

I think that the children's voices freshed the song.

okay, i see. no complaints from now on! :lol: hmmm i guess that France really is a Taxland :sick:

 

 

15 Steps surprised me big time. live version wasnt that good ... :uhoh:

I also wanted to know about those kids screaming at "15 Step". Great song! One of my favourites of the album.

Anyone knows when it's gonna be released here in Latin America?

I started a thread about what album i should start with etc on radiohead awhilst ago. But so far, ive been listening to in rainbows and from what ive heard, i think its fairly groovy!

So far, my fav song is Jigsaw..

but im still having to hear more of it. I gotta go get my hands on the album soon enough. But I wanted to get OK comp and Kid A as well...hmm.

^You'll just have to get them all :laugh3:

 

Thats what I did....if you have the money you could always consider the boxset, pretty good value.

 

 

 

 

(even though EMI is evvvvil)

It's the Matrix Music School Children's Choir

 

Thanks! i knew it had to be a bunch of kids. if that was an instrument, i would have been really freaked out.

nah..no boxset, if you do, you support EMI :P

Its not out yet there?

 

Nooo. I think it's because they relesed it with an independent label. Or maybe it's another f*cking EMI "move".

 

I guess I have no other way to order it on Amazon.

they no longer have ties with EMI.... they are on an independent label. :) So basically... they're label free agents.

^Except they technically are on a few different labels. Just no major ones like EMI or Sony.

I went to my closest Virgin Megastore and saw them, covering an entire wall. Many CDs and also some Vinyls.

Argh.

 

I need to buy the standard release of In Rainbows

on vinyl. My discbox ones aren't playing right.

Complain to W.A.S.T.E.?

Paying 40 pounds you should at least get functioning vinyls :P
