too jimmy chamberlain complex?

Great though.

a little

no i didnt listen yet, hold yer horses

it's good. not too radiohead. i thought more of do make say think to be honest. but maybe when the vocals get in there, i'd be a little cautious

i haven't heard do make say think. good?

we played this a couple of times before we broke up. the vocals were kind of low register to start with, pretty shouty fuck off at the end. basically i'm wondering if i could salvage this for my album, cos i kinda like the guitars

here's a tune by them

i hear more of that washy reverby (i won't say it for serious but almost jazzy) sound in your music than i do in radiohead's. probably doesn't make any sense to you.

more like not enough radiohead

yeah, sounds like a cross betw. rh and jcc. really good.

its like grand theft auto. on a mountain.

5/4 is hard to make not sound cheesy. and you did rip all the ways that radiohead keep 5/4 from sounding cheesy.

whether that is too radiohead would be your call.

i thought of do make say think initially too, reminded me of herstory of glory. not a bad sound to be compared to.

its pretty cool, lds. different direction than that brooder you posted here a while back, but both were good.

Strikes me as one of those exercises in writing that you have to get out of your system and discard.

Can you elaborate on the ways RH keeps 5/4 from sounding cheesy? I know just barely enough about music theory to understand what 5/4 time is, so this is not an ambush. I'm just asking out of curiosity. And possibly so I can comedically bungle an attempted repetition of your explanation in a later discussion, Home Improvement-style.

LDS, I can sort of hear RH in the main melody and all, but the heavier guitars take it in a different direction (I suppose the JCC comparison is apt at that point). Maybe this is just echoes of what I've been listening to lately, but I'd kind of like to hear that main melody played out a little more loosely, on a piano, to emphasize the jazziness. Whatever it sounds like, it's quite nice.
