Grace. Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm still in love with Lotus Flower, and I also think Give Up The Ghost and Separator are amazing :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Codex is my favorite right now. But I definitley LOVE Separator and Lotus Flower. :heart: AMAZING album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think Separator is absolutely brilliant. Lotus Flower Give Up the Ghost Separator Honorable mention to Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fietssleutel Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Codex Bloom GUTG asdfgdsasdfgdsadfg Separator and Little By Little kind of as well. I can't choose. ;___; Basically the only two songs I'm not crazy about are Feral and Mr Magpie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I wonder which one is the least fav. so far :thinking: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fietssleutel Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Aww, poor Feral. All alone with no votes. :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Bloom and the last four. Gets gradually more accessible as it goes along, though I wouldn't necessarily want to change anything about the other tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I don't know why feral is getting so much hatred, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Codex and Give Up the Ghost are currently neck-and-neck for me, although Separator is closing in fast. Long story short, the album steadily improves from beginning to end. Gonna vote Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I don't know why feral is getting so much hatred, honestly. It's probably the weakest of the bunch and least accessible song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 It's probably the weakest of the bunch and least accessible song. It's as good as Morning Mr Magpie (to me at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 yeah... I wasn't a fan of Morning Mr Magpie too much... i prefered the acoustic version. To me it's just too much noise in that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Feral is going to be a tricky song to get into, and probably one that ends up working better within the flow of the album rather than as an individual song. (I feel that way about several Radiohead songs, actually) That and Morning Mr Magpie are the only two I'm not keen on at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RUSH OF VIDA Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Lotus Flower Codex GUTG ....as of now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 On first listen I like Separator best, closely followed by the previous three, but is that because I like them best or because they're the only things I could hold on to memories of as the album melted away through my ears. Such a beautiful album- it just sort of lets you float along through it. That would be interesting if it is backloaded... usually albums are frontloaded to keep you listening. Happy now. :nice: That shook me out of a little of my winter blues. :sunny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hmm... I quite like Feral. I like the high-hat thing it has going on. It kind of reminds me of this, which I'm guessing is half-way intentional: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnzShQ1PN0A]YouTube - AFX & Squarepusher - Freeman Hardy & Willis Acid[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Codex is amazing. Then Lotus Flower, then GUTG. Thoughts on the other songs below (and a bit of a rant): Separator is a nice enough closer, and Morning Mr Magpie is cool, sounds like a HTTT song to me. The rest I find are a bit too busy, though I can hear that they could sound a lot better stripped down and played on real instruments. Feral is completely soulless, and though I don't hate it, it's inclusion is slightly baffling for a short album which shouldn't really have any filler. Wouldn't be so much of an issue if the album had more songs of course. The best thing about the album is the cohesiveness, it's more flowing than In Rainbows. But that album was quite a lot better IMO, King Of Limbs actually makes me realise how good IR really is. I can't help but think they may have regressed a little, as I was hoping for a continuation of the sound they had formed on the last album (though I hear traces of it here and there). I also have a pet peeve with them which is how they seem to actively meddle with promising songs that they've previewed live first - they take them into the studio, and consequently lose some of their impact (see: All I Need, Videotape), or seemingly are just left off altogether (Present Tense in favour of Feral :inquisitive:). Still love Radiohead, but I think bands such as Arcade Fire have overtaken them for me in terms of quality and anticipation leading up to their releases.
