Those who have pegged the second half as superior are on the money, though maybe the second half is just more accessible at first. I dunno, I still liked Bloom and Little By Little, but I'm not sold on Morning Mr. Magpie and Feral yet. Granted, such is normal for Radiohead, and passing judgment on one listen is a trap that I'm seeing a lot of people fall into (though not necessarily on here).

 

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to this thing another half-dozen times today. Track-by-track thoughts will come once I can properly digest it all.

I think if they are going to release something else, it will either be this month or an EP in the summer. :thinking:

Listening to a radiohead album is like tasting a wine: it involves several stages and time to trully discover the flavour, character, body and aroma.

EDIT 1: The album is too expensive for its length.

EDIT 2: Any good virus-free program to convert from wva to mp4?

EDIT 3: I'm liking the album thus far, different from everything they've done before.

iheart codex

^ On that note. It smells good! :laugh3:

Don't laugh at me :disappointed:

You know something, I'll shut up and won't contribute with anything next time :bigcry:

Codex is gorgeous. Really.

And the big question for the album is where the hell is the rest of the band?

Edit: Separator is awesome as well.

Geeeeeeezuus!

Sorry if its been posted but dont havetime to check out latr for school

I know you know he's a sex symbol.

If someone ever glances at me with a face like that at 1:28 and sings *either way you turn I'll be there* I fucking pee on ma pants out of fear.

I recognize Thom manages to be the worst but at the same time coolest dancer evah.

My biggest complains are:

a) It seems like Jonny and Ed just stand there doing nothing at all, just listen to GIve up the ghost (loved it, though).

b) The beats are quite repetitive troughout the entire album, just like the eraser.

The Eraser meets Amnesiac.

I'll give it an 8/10. Nothing like In Rainbows or Kid A for me, but it's a very enjoyable album. Also I find it sad that there are no Jonny solos or a pretty, fast song like Bodysnatchers/PA.

Still, I really liked it, I am not disapponted and I was kinda expecting an album sounding like this.

I just noticed something regarding the two 'halves' of this album. Perhaps Lotus Flower was placed as a divider intentionally, because of the line 'slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers'. The first half of the album is like a closed lotus flower, and the second half is more of an open lotus flower. Lotus Flower is the point at which the album 'unfurls' as a lotus flower. (I hope that makes sense)

 

We better have a new disc soon...

I like this album but I agree with the people that say it's kind of like a new Thom Yorke album. I just wish there would be some more guitar in it but overall I like it! :D

it flows really well. Lotus Flower is wonderful, but yes, more guitar would be stellar.

 

maybe more tracks with the physical?

it's gonna sound great live :wacky:

I think they ruined Morning Mr.Magpie :(

Geeeeeeezuus!

yeah wooho this could have been the first song I could have heard of this album....but the video isn't available in my country....german youtube is ridiculously boring

Good explanation Alexa of it being The Eraser meets Amnesiac.

 

interesting thoughts about the album Josh. Afterall that's the one song that seems to split the album in half.

 

Also good point Technicolor Liver. I feel that this album in some sense sounds more like a Thom solo album, in the sense that the band doesn't seem like they are really heard or in the recordings much.

 

Another reason why there might be more songs is that the last song is called Separator, and also the last line is "If you think this is over, well you're wrong". Also people online have taken notice that their order tracking number has TKOL1-########, so perhaps if there's another album or songs it'll be TKOL2-#######

 

I've really been into Lotus Flower a lot so far initially. Feral is the one that will take me longest to like I think.

^Could someone post the original of that, Morning Mr Magpie.

..maybe there will be a 2 CD edition of TKOL at some time..!?

^Could someone post the original of that, Morning Mr Magpie.

 

it has already been posted! >>> :)

 

edit: ...or just the song "MMM"?...

I think we should EXPECT a second disc, not just hope for one. Here's a few reasons I've gathered from around the interwebz:

 

- eight tracks. solid eight tracks. but only eight tracks

- last track on the album is called 'separator'

- two vinyls for 8 songs? no

- last line on the album is 'if you think this is over then you're wrong'

- expensive album doesnt get shipped til may

- why did they switch the release date ... could mean we're getting more tomorrow on the real release date

 

EDIT (thanks Mike): Also people online have taken notice that their order tracking number has TKOL1-########, so perhaps if there's another album or songs it'll be TKOL2-#######

Nice investigating! :thumbsup:

 

I don't feel like this is enough to be an album. I think this should be considered the first EP of two.

^All of that gives me hope. Lets see what transpires over the coming days.

I think this is more like the Thom's post-Eraser solo stuff (Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses and The Hollow Earth) that was ok, but I haven't really listened to those songs much. ,It's kind of Amnesiac-like but with much weaker material.

Edit: nevermind I already could import the songs in itunes
