oh and this recording of true love waits is SUPREMELY SENESCENT, placing it amongs the elevated rankings of the upper echelons of sonic sublimity, joining such seminal tunes as Climbing Up the Walls, How to Disappear Completely, and Fake Plastic Treez.

The orchestration is something else that fell flat for me the first time I listened (I actually thought it threw off the groove of some of the songs when the strings come in). Now I can't imagine these songs without the string section. The horror movie screeching in Burn the Witch basically makes the song for me. And the thing the orchestra does at 3:40 in The Numbers sends shivers down my spine. Reminds me of something off Madman Across the Water or Harvest. |

Did Johnny compose all the strings arrangements? That explains

my opinion is still so liquid (and i enjoy that) but the conclusion i'm arriving at again and again is that, although the songs themselves might not be as strong as their top work (as i mentioned before, they feel a bit sketchy sometimes - which may be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective), the creative arrangements, the lush and intriguing production work, and the accurate execution, makes up for it.

i just love those sprinkling, tinkling stacked layers of piano scattered throughout the record
and that trippy sound effect, that i could only describe as "cotton wool", at the end of Tinker Sailor |

I'm sure as a celebrity you're painfully aware of a camera's presence but something about that pic always rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's his posture but he looks painfully self-inflated. |

Finally listened to the album. Pretty disappointing but I'll take people's advice and try a few listens. Other than the singles Decks Dark and Ful Stop stand out. TLW isn't murdered as horribly as I was led to believe so that's another saving grace.

I've only listened to it once, but I wasn't really paying attention and probably wouldn't be able to appreciate it anyway because I kind of lost interest in music again lately. It kind of goes in waves. I'll try again when I can bring myself to care about stuff.

disappointing even in comparison to TKOL? I'm not sure I have seen a single person argue that it's a step down from that.

I'm not going to argue that, It's been a while since I listened but looking back at the tracklist its definitely closer to everyday music for me, Magpie, Seperator and Bloom all stuck in my head. I love Codex. The album's flawed (and brief) f'sure but it's stuck in my head, too early to tell whether AMSP will do the same, I hope so.
12 hours down the line and my feelings towards TLW is somewhat souring things though. |

The closing tracks on their albums often feel disconnected from the rest to me. TLW still seems out of place to me, but Codex, Videotape, Street Spirit also all have a vibe that feels different than the rest of the albums they belong to.

codex is not the last track on king of limb. probably just a lapse but still worth mentioning.
anyway how can you guys not see how brilliantly they used True Love Waits as an album closer? after an album that starts off with Burn The Witch (also older piece brilliantly contextualized to seemingly speak about the longtime partner who left), and slowly disintegrating throughout the record... it's just the darkest album closer. it could be viewed as wry, dark commentary or as sincere faith in love. and it's calling a lover to stay, long after it's been well established that they're gone. i mean i dug it. it really hit me super hard and i think it's one of their best album closer, or maybe second to The Tourist. Motion Picture Soundtrack is there somewhere too. i'm so grateful to be alive in the time of radiohead. |

I don't dislike TWE studio version, but I also don't think it's one of the best songs on the album. I do prefer the old version, but my thought was that TWE was probably written for/about Thom's ex and the new version is like a mournful look back. |

so this last radiohead album can't mean anything to you if you can't compare it to the rest of their discography?
ok. |

how could it even be possible to not judge an artist's new album at least somewhat in relation to what they have done in the past

if you listen carefully to the low murmuring at the beginning of Identikit, you can hear thom sing something about a "moon shaped pool"
I think I've OD'd on this album. I've listened to it dozens of times already and today I found I was actually tired of it. I popped in The Bends, then IR, but I didn't want to hear old Radiohead either. I just wish we had more new Radiohead already. oh well, 5 more years to go |
