the album is nothing special, kinda sucks that you wait 4 years and you get a 10 song download of tracks I heard live 2 years ago.

it's not the songs, arrangements or the feel... it's the actual sound of the album. the guitars, vocals, beats, drums (minus the glorious reckoner). they sound like the eraser. and that's a bad thing. the only track that's got that earthy radiohead sound is reckoner. some of the others approach it but i mean i dunno. amnesiac sounds so good. as does kid a. this is duller in terms of the actual sounds presented.

So you're just talking about the production? I don't know...The Eraser sounded really thin and cold to me. In Rainbows sounds full and rich. There's a lot of very subtle stuff going on in there.

HTTT, now that was an album with some production issues. This album has a lot more life, to my ears.

could you please, and i mean this kindly, back up this statement with some evidence? i just can't see it and would like to see where this opinion is coming from.. and i want something a bit more solid than ''it just feels that way.'' why does it feel that way?

i didn't hate adore when it came out, i quite loved it actually. I'm enjoying this album as well, it's rather lovely. reading over this thread, I'm reminded, you guys are some critical motherfuckers, aren't you? I'm actually liking this a little better than zeitgeist, but don't tell bill i said that. he's sensitive.

monkeyfritters · 10-10-2007, 11:44 PM

paranoid... it's impossible to do online. i dont know.

it's all about feel man.

Shapan · 10-10-2007, 11:44 PM

billy probably likes in rainbows more too

monkeyfritters · 10-10-2007, 11:46 PM

ha. ir is so far beyond zeitgeist. if post adore billy had half the soul of reckoner he'd still be on top of the world, what with his talent and all.

Lorenzo · 10-10-2007, 11:48 PM

In Rainbows after a couple of listems really stands up as well. I like it alot and will only continue to enjoy more with each listen. That being said I love Reckoner despite the U2ishness. I know that is going to ruin it for some of you.

That would most certainly ruin it for me if it were the slightest bit true.

Fortunately, it is not.

monkeyfritters · 10-10-2007, 11:52 PM

yeah man. there aint no u2 in that joint.

well then i'm having a hard time considering this criticism seriously.

monkeyfritters · 10-10-2007, 11:53 PM

house of cards is too phil collins, elton john and disney.

Well for me it's pretty much sung as if it were Bono. I hear a close similarity.

Shapan · 10-10-2007, 11:56 PM

its a laid back record.

the main thing i miss are some of jonny's frantic solos, but it would feel a bit out of place. they did a good job, this stands pretty well against this year's batch of music, and it's been a very good year.

i still think they couldve done more with videotape and that house of cards is pretty boring. but there are quite a few gems here.

seriously, i feel guilty about liking this better than teh z. you know, being the loyal sp fan and all. oh well. it is what it is i suppose. I'm still holding onto my faith in the NEXT sp record, because ...well i just have to. (i do really like z, but ir is quite a lot better so far...and i'm still only on my first listen; something tells me i'll end up liking it even more with time)

monkeyfritters · 10-10-2007, 11:57 PM

i like 15 step now. even though the kid sample is really stupid.

once you start to appreciate everything else he is capable of doing, you start to care less about whether or not his guitar playing makes an appearance or not.

i don't mean that in a condesending way.. but i used to be pretty attached to his guitar playing.. but then i looked further into all of the other things he involves himself in and is capable of and was all like woah.

monkeyfritters · 10-11-2007, 12:01 AM

i know! i wish in rainbows had production similar to visitations by clinic (as it is radiohead is showing a huge clinic influence on this album fuck all that sigur ros shit on MT). visitations was a great record but nobody cares about clinic. fucking indie loving retards sucking mirahs dick.

ameyer · 10-11-2007, 12:01 AM

It's great, except for the "drumming" in Videotape. I mean, what the hell?
Although I thought Zeitgeist was pretty good on first listen...

(disclaimer: I'm not bitching at you personally)

why is that the pumpkins fans come over here and start comparing this record to the other pumpkins works? like davin with the whole machina II bullshit? c'mon. this record is light years ahead of anything BC has done in the past 10 years. accept it. radiohead and sp are in two different leagues, this shouldn't even be discussed.

paranoid · 10-11-2007, 12:05 AM

hrm i saw that sigur ros talk and couldn't see the connection there either. if anything the production reminded me a lot of 1970's style production (strings, dry crisp drums) can't pin point exact records though.

obvious beatles, but that always goes without saying.

i think 15 step is the weakest track on the record. doesnt FIT. needs either down is the new up or 4 min warning in its place. the kids shouting is really pointless and annoying.

skipgo · 10-11-2007, 12:05 AM

i can only think of two albums i ever fell in love with on first listen, that would be siamese dream and ok computer. In rainbows has now joined that list. I can understand why some of you are missing jonny's signature sound here, but i really love the mellow feel of it. Then again, Sea Change is my favorite beck album, so I guess it's safe to say that mellow stuff really works well for me. (not that i don't enjoy being crushed into dust here and there, i certainly do)

oh i agree with you, they are definitely very different and can't really be compared. I think my words are more about being sad that i like an album by another band better than the new sp album. first time that's ever happened that i can recall.

i know jonny is a brilliant multi-instrumentalist, i quite enjoy bodysong and im looking forward to hearing there will be blood, but there's nothing wrong missing his signature guitarwork. it's a radiohead staple, his style of lead is one of the most notable things about the band. but yeah i already mentioned that it might not work with the flow of the record so i understand it.

oh and internal wrangler is a fucking great record. clinic toured with radiohead, would've loved to see that.

monkeyfritters · 10-11-2007, 12:09 AM

i think ditching 15 and hoc and replacing them with anything... banjo solos who cares would make the album a classic.
