What songs you want? I think Daily Mail is an a4p song. I wanted Present Tense, though.
Daily Mail (even if it's an a4p song haha), Big Boots (since the 90s I've wanted it on record), Open the Floodgates, The Present Tense, and Super Collider. I've never seen them live, but after hearing half the new record I'm pretty sure they'll never play Big Boots again.
I think Daily Mail will be on the a4p album(if there is one), and the rest(minust big boots, since it's old) might be b-sides. Those are some ridiculous B-sides.
It's sort of like instead of releasing a more accesible album(I'll use the Kid A analogy), they just went out there and released(in some ways) an Amnesiac. Sure, it's not nearly as difficult to get into as Amnesiac, but I look at it like that. Who knows, though. Maybe Radiohead worked with enough material to release another album.
Only half the songs on TKoL(Mouse Dog Bird, Give up Ghost, Lotus Flower, Mr Magpie were heard before the releasing of this album. And the fact that they used a song as old as Magpie gives us hope for Big Boots, Lift. And Nude(Formerly Big Ideas), should give us even more hope for some of the great stuff they did in the late 90's, early 00's. I'd love an album with Fog as well.
And I just finished my 7th listen. I might buy the CD on the 28th to check it out as well, and give it away to someone once May rolls around.
A few notes...
1) those keyboard jockeys on teh internets saying "omg its not groundbreaking enough, Radiohead's just not breaking new ground."
2) I think this album fits best in between Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. Only Radiohead can pull this stuff off without sounding completely pretentious. The way Johnny Greenwood's guitar touches pop up are awesome, really glad they still sound like a band too. Thom's voice hasn't lost anything.
3) "Bloom" is the .
4) I copied this for some speculation: So many rumors…”Yeah there are a lot of clues about a part 2. The concept of the “newspaper album” itself. The fact that they did not release the “album” saturday. The last song is called SEPARATOR and we can hear “If you think it’s over, then you’re wrong”. And the orders from the site are being marked TKOL1.”
Overall, much easier to get into than In Rainbows IMHO.
Edit: There's gotta be a Part 2 released tomorrow or at least in the way Amnesiac got released after Kid A. Too many little details point to it. I hope they follow through, it'd be beyond epic and a game changer.
After 4 listens I love this album. During 1st listen I thought it was rather bland and the songs sounded the same to me. The more I listen to it though, this album is so layered its unbelievable and the percussion here is amazing.
One of my favorite moments is when Magpie kinda drops off and then comes rushing back with vocals and the funky bassline.
I'm pissed out of all the old songs, Magpie is in there. Gay.
I think I'll give it my 9th listen and wont go back to it till tomorrow.
Nine listens in one day? lol
The resident Radiohead rimjobber has to live up to his reputation, but maybe he took it too far. I didn't even listen to MBDTF 9 times in the first week I had it, tbh.
lol Thom Ayala Benitez de GarzaGive up Ghost is beautiful
Sons, I can't wait to name my son or daughter Thom once I have a kid.
Ahhhh I've been busy and just got it... just put it on my phone so I'm listenin on the go..
That's cause MBDTF was over an hour long. TKoL is 38 minutes.
Seperator is a ing sweet song
There shall never be another Reckoner-like ecstasy. Seperator is gooooood though.
It's good, but are you kidding?
"More to come" on radiohead's fb.

Been told by a person close to the Radiohead project to keep an eye on YouTube tomorrow for "some amazing stuff" – whatever that means...
Aww yeah, Radiohead, yeah. And it's better than IR. Not as good as Amnesiac, Kid A, or OK Computer.
Awww, . That's not RH's official page. Still excited for that youtube news.
I just can't stop thinking that they're gonna do something else, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
In Rainbows is better than this... unless they come with another cd and blow me away...
It's
1. OK Computer
2. Kid A
2. In Rainbows
i havent heard anything new from RH since KidA... my fav album of theirs, that i've heard, is Pablo Honey hands down.
You have your opinion, I have mine. As long as the top 2 aren't debatable.
but it is.. or did you not notice both IR and Kid A had a 2.
