I remember Thom saying something like he hated the way the album sounded because he thinks they rushed it when they were recording it. And is it just me or is 2+2=5 very reminiscent of Paranoid Android?

I sit just me or does Wolf at The Door sound a bit like Nick Cave?

No, what did the great pitchfork have to say?

"This worrisome middling leads into "Where I End and You Begin", which is the only real low point on the album, as aside from Yorke's vocals, it's simply a U2 song."

I read this during the whole hipster bashing phase 2 weeks ago or whatever so I'd fully understand the whole Pitchfork hating, and needless to say I lost any and all respect I had for that site upon reading that.

How little have you gathered? Radiohead has one of the most diverse resumes in music. How many other successful bands can include songs as diverse as Paranoid Android, Idioteque, How To Disappear Completely, Like Spinning Plates, Life in a Glass House, Wolf at the Door, and Reckoner all on the SAME resume?

LOL Oh Pitchfork, what has become of you? But yeh I have to disagree with Ashley too, one of the reason why Radiohead is my fav band is because they are so diverse.

Or as diverse as Videotape and Last Flowers or High & Dry and Fake Plastic Trees.

Sarcasm?

Well it's not like every song on their albums are going to sound completely different. But I myself was referring to them in having diverse albums not songs.

dac 10-21-2008 01:03 AM

Yeah seriously, show me a band where EVERY song, over the expanse of 7 LPs has a COMPLETELY different sound

Then you'd love Primal Scream.

You guys are being delusional if you think Radiohead has changed their sound every single album.

dac 10-21-2008 10:50 AM

Well I mean Kid A and Amnesiac sound alike, but cmon, they were recorded together. Outside of that though, each album, for the most part, has its own sound.
