TAXI FOR RADIOHEAD. They should call it a day and do themselves and everyone else a favour, its becoming painful to watch/listen to.
I think Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows are great albums. 'There There' and 'Videotape' are two of my favourite Radiohead songs. Make what you want out of that.

I'm surprised you don't like "In Rainbows" at all, though, it's maybe their best, and has elements from most of their eras.

Nobody asked you to lie, just that you not be so dramatic about opinions that haven't even been supplied reason. If you're going to equate In Rainbows to the death of your whole family with no reason, I'm going to call you a liar, and gullible, and obnoxious. Also, OKC can't be an "obviously" good album when half of it isn't very interesting, or just drags along. HTTT is guilty of that as well, I admit, though I wouldn't say so for the interesting factor, just that it drags.

RADIOHEAD.COM | DEAD AIR SPACE

Quote:
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes

As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record.


The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files..

The files can be anything, but in this case is an 'album'.

It's an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around ...

If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.

Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.

Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.

If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.

The torrent mechanism does not require any server uploading or hosting costs or 'cloud' malarkey.

It's a self-contained embeddable shop front...

The network not only carries the traffic, it also hosts the file. The file is in the network.

Oh yes and it's called
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
Kewl!

Thom Yorke: Tomorrow's Modern Boxes | Album Reviews | Pitchfork

I wanted to see what you guys thought of the album, and how accurate y'all thought this review was. I hardly find myself agreeing. Although it is pretty undeniable that this pushes the ambient/electronic elements even further to the forefront, I don't think it should be thought of as a poorer album for it. Mainly I take issue with the reviewer seeming to conflate "most Radiohead-like" with best, as this shouldn't be how we regard Yorke's solo material, as being good only when it sticks closest to Radiohead.

I like the album for what it is, which to me is a little experimental in the sense that it has a fairly neutral tone throughout, or at least doesn't bring the ominous or despairing nature to the forefront as Yorke/Radiohead usually do, and not relying on distinct melody throughout but still maintaining its own kind of hooks and charm. It also may not seem, especially in the second half, that it has a discernible direction it aims for, but I like this kind of ambiguity the album has, personally.

EDIT: There may be a discernible tone here in melancholy, but it feels pretty subtle to me, or maybe it's just that I'm not used to hearing something like a bit of ordinary sadness in a Radiohead/Yorke album. And this is not a bad thing, I love Yorke's use of mainly drum machines, piano, and effects here. It feels tight for it, the whole album just flows.

I'm kinda ready for Thom Yorke to try something new. Yea, it's cool and all, but he's already been there done that, a thousand times over. I want something fresh and new. That's why Thom desperately needs Johnny.
