gnarlybog Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 after 3 listens, the best part for me is the penderecki string action in bending hectic. the rest is nice but a bit sleepy, and not in the cool Talk Talk way. much preferring jonny greenwood's soundtracks these days... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WurstPLUS Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I notice some tracks growing to new heights. Teleharmonic, Read the Room... But the undisputed center of the album, that moment when I leave my body.. "it might be as well" - Thom, those strings, the bass guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The end of Bending Hectic is such a Radiohead moment. Really stands out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Really enjoying this on first few listen and sounds like it will be a grower as well, so guess time will tell how much I really like it but tis good for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really stands out Do you like the mastering of that guitar part? IRL, that is a loud part, but here in the recording the volume is about the same as the first incarnation of the refrain. I understand Pop music does not like much dynamic in volume, but here... Also the mixing of that guitar part - compression kind of muddy.

Just when it's supposed to explode with those distorted guitars it gets awkardly quiet and the sound is sort of ducked. Such a great song but I personally don't understand this decision.

I start to care about technical details when I am not deeply emotionally involved to give my feelings (or lack of) a rational explanation which wasn't the case with this record at all. I could happily enjoy it without analyzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattthegoone Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 At the first gig of the tour tonight, ruined by fucking shite sound, so frustrating, they played a few new tracks that sounded good bar the actual sound farting out of the speakers It was a venue thing so if anyone is seeing them soon I wouldn't be worried, the band were on form, headwrecking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattthegoone Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Sound was shite for James Holden too in the support slot but he was probably good too, speakers letting off fart noises when there was any bass, fuckin shockin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Only played this album once and I didn't pay too much attention. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for Thom Yorkes vocals, I have to be in the right frame of mind and I guess that's not the case at the moment. I didn't play In Rainbows (funnily enough my favorite) for a few years after release because after The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac I was burnt out with him. Sometimes I don't play any Radiohead for a couple of years then all of a sudden, like a flick of a switch I can't stop playing them. Strange but true.

I am the same I don’t force it on me sometimes it just fits to my mood and then it’s great also pretty dependent on current season Edited March 10 by o00o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got this when it came out and honestly I haven't given it a full listen yet, just haven't really been in the mood. Played the first few tracks a handful of times and I'm enjoying them but it seems like a grower, kind of underwhelming initially. Bending Hectic is incredible, I absolutely love that track, but I already listened to it a ton when it came out as a single last year so it feels like its own thing, I don't really associate it with this album yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimandres Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I gave it a bit of a break after the first week odd, but lately I've been in a contemplative mood so this has been hitting the spot. Still don't think it really comes close to the first album. That just has too many good/great tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The first one does have a lot of great tracks, but this one is a much more cohesive album. They had a live stream with an orchestra the other day and played a few new ones as well. They already have enough for a lengthy EP or building up to LP3 too. Prolific af. I kind of want them to just keep going rather than retreat back to Radiohead. for now at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimandres Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I agree it's a more cohesive album. Could definitely go for an EP or another album. We need Just Eyes and Mouth at least... I really think that's one of their best tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
