i downloaded it :uhoh: and i don't plan on buying it. not that it's a bad album...i actually think it's their second best album after Parachutes. but for some reason i've only listened to it a few times, and never felt like going back to it. :(

Jim Noir - Jim Noir (really great catchy fun summery retro sound. love it) The Supreme Genius of King Khan and The Shrines

awwww... Chris always gives credit where the credit is due. :wacko:

wowowowowowowowow...that is really amazing! i wish i could draw like that. but unfortunately stickmen is as far as my talents go. :laugh3:

what i find strange is that a lot of them will make fun of coldplay for "ripping off" radiohead, and then turn around and in the same breath profess their undying love for Muse. where's the fucking logic? :laugh3: it's obvious to an old half-deaf goat that both bands have been influenced by Radiohead, but at least Chris is honest (and humble) enough to admit it.

ha! yes so true. but there are very nice and friendly people there too, especially in the multimedia section.

i beg to differ. i think Blow Out pwns Bones, Sulk and even High and Dry. :P yeah, atease is brutal to noobs. MT'ers can be quite cruel as well, but if you don't make pointless threads (at least at first) and act friendly, they are way more accepting of newcomers than atease. i mean, there are actually quite a few popular characters there who registered for the first time only a few months ago. but coldplaying is BY FAR the friendliest message board i've ever been to. :wacko:

^^^ /sigh/ i still want to fuck him, even with that ugly hair. but thank you for trying.. :(

ugh, shuddup :( ahh, thank God, somebody understands! :wacko: *highfives you back* :wacko: yes, yes it is. i actually like most of the songs on Pablo Honey...mind you all of them sound much better live, but the album is still good, imo. the only song i absolutely can't stand is Prove Yourself. but the rest are pretty good...You, Ripcord, How Do You, Vegetable...and Thinking About You is a classic, cracks me up every time. :P and i love the performance of Inside My Head at Reading Festival: "whatever you put in that syrrrrrrringe, whatever you rrrrrrreally said to him"... i dunno why this entertains me the way it does...:laugh3:

told ya so :)

the best! :D

then paint it, what's stopping ya? :laugh3: have you seen Thom and Jonny's appearance at MusiquePlus in 2003? they had the whole floor covered in HTTT album art, it looked really cool.

i want to fuck Thom Yorke so bad, it's not even funny, it's rather frustrating actually. thanks for the pics, yellowish. i don't know where you find them...there are some i've never seen before.

it pops out of nowhere, cause it's amnesiac...it forgot where it's supposed to be. everything in its wrong place. :wacko:

HTTT's disjointed chaotic nature is an integral part of its concept. only those who don't get it will criticize HTTT for it. aye, the comparison of In Rainbows to Snow Patrol is insulting. but i sorta see where they're coming from. i've read some user reviews and it seems like a lot of people who never liked Radiohead or liked them during The Bends era go absolutely apeshit (in a good way) over this album. ermm...it's very 'pop' sounding, if you know what i mean. not that it's a bad thing...whatever Radiohead does, it's of the best variety, even if it's pop. :wacko: some bits from HTTT reviews...ahhh...make me feel all warm and fuzzy: Alternative Press: There's something for everyone here. Spin: It feels more like a band playing to a multitude of strengths than the formal wrestling of Kid A. Pitchfork: For its moments of gravity and excellence, Hail to the Thief is an arrow pointing toward the clearly darker, more frenetic territory the band have up to now only poked at curiously. Urb: The band seems more comfortable in the studio than ever. The Onion (A.V. Club): Radiohead effectively split the difference between its best-known incarnations on Hail To The Thief, which brings the group's Consecutive Great Albums total to a remarkable five. Uncut: For all its muddied textures and sideways lurches, it is a magnificently engaging and expansive work. Dot Music: It's startling that a commercial rock band could sound this blood-and-oxygen vital, this meaningful and mighty six albums into their career. New York Magazine: Hail to the Thief is overloaded with miraculous sounds. PopMatters: An incredible album from a band that continues to redefine its boundaries. Delusions of Adequacy: This is truly an album that will stay with you once you’ve let it work its way in. Amazon.com: Like all of the band’s best work, Thief requires more than a few listens to fully appreciate, but those who stick around will be richly rewarded. Rolling Stone: Despite the anger and bitterness, Hail to the Thief is more musically inviting than Radiohead's last two outings. Mojo: Coheres as well as anything else in their canon.

aye, i love it too. that's actually one of the main reasons i absolutely cannot stand muse. i just fuckin' hate their pretentious drivel. no offense to those who like 'em... but it's just like arrrrggggg :bomb:

Donwood and Tchock make art that makes you think. i love it.

critics don't know it as their worst. if you look at the reviews, most of them are in fact more favorable than the reviews for Kid A and Amnesiac. i think the problem is that most people tend to think that HTTT is a political anti-bush album, which it isn't at all. i mean, the topics that it touches upon are truly timeless. but overall, it's not an easy listen to some. so of course most gush over In Rainbows now just because of how easy to listen to and beautiful it is. not many see HTTT for what it is, but rather for what they wish it was, but isn't. but it is what it is...dark, frantic, aggressive and grotesque, just like the fucked-up world we live in.

oh oh ooooooooooooooooooooh you fell into our aaaaaaaaaaaarms, you fell into our aaaaaaaaaaaaaarms... :sneaky::D

no, i'm absolutely serious. i love HTTT and Amnesiac more than any other radiohead album.

no, but seriously. i don't get Pulk/Pull hate. like, i don't really get how one can say Kid A is 10/10 perfect with Kid A and Treefingers on it and then in the same breath proclaim Amnesiac goatshit for having Pulk/Pull and Hunting Bears on it. wtf? not me :sneaky: Amnesiac and HTTT are at the very top of my list. :wacko:

Thom : "This [Climbing Up The Walls] is about the unspeakable. Literally skull-crushing. I used to work in a mental hospital around the time that Care In The Community started, and we all just knew what was going to happen. And it's one of the scariest things to happen in this country, because a lot of them weren't just harmless... It was hailing violently when we recorded this. It seemed to add to the mood." "Some people can't sleep with the curtains open in case they see the eyes they imagine in their heads every night burning through the glass. Lots of people have panic buttons fitted in their bedrooms so they can reach over and set the alarm off without disturbing the intruder. This song is about the cupboard monster." I really don't think that's what All I Need is about.

i prefer both :wacko:

actually not always......Killer Cars, Let Down, No Surprises, Go To Sleep, etc...the music contrasting the lyrics, and there's a lot of that on In Rainbows as well...while the sound is uplifting, lyrically that's not always the case. take 15 step for example, don't you just wanna get up and dance to it? :dance: but the song is about rejection, isn't it? what about Nude, where that angelic voice croons sweetly informing us that we're all going to hell for what our dirty minds are thinking. :P or the beginning of Arpeggi...sounds almost happy?... In Rainbows overall sounds very bright and sunny and even blissful at times, but lyrically it's not all rainbows and unicorns, obviously. what she said. :wacko:

well, BINGO! yes, i agree with what you're saying about The Eraser. and that's what i think In Rainbows is all about... finding your center when the whole world spins out of control...love as defiance in the face of annihilation. immerse your soul in love. :D
