tinman-is-god Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 As i am sure that you all know, Radiohead are the greatest band in the world, so Thom's solo effort has been big news. It felt weird purchasing a Thom record, not a Radiohead one, and it felt a little wrong. But they say they are not going to split so it'll be ok. I hope!I think The Eraser is outstanding, a superb album. For me, the title track, as well as And it rained all night and Harrowdown Hill are the 3 best tracks. Gotta love it. Thoughts?

Thoughts?If Radiohead are the greatest band in the world, then I'm a Swedish blonde called Rhiannon with glorious breasts.Radio 1 played some of it last week. It would seem likely that the sales of razoip blades, gin and tranquilisers went up by several hundred percent.Lamb madras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one!Fair shout mate, everyone has different taste. I like cheese, peanut butter and marmite sandwiches but guess many don't.Glad you like the dress, it's a Prada. A little pricey, but it shows off my ample bosom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman-is-god Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well i think it looks lovely. It may be expensive, but its worth the price methinks. Come on you Radioheads comment on Thom's album...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Radiohead were good nay great between 93-97.When they made Kid A (in which they intended to drive away the non hardcore support they had but in fact drove away any talent they might have had) they became the champions of scene kids. They've continued to cash in on this ever since at the expense of any decent music.Radiohead R.I.P. 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazareth Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm a massive Radiohead fan and have enjoyed all of their albums.However, this new Thom Yorke album is absolute gash. It sounds like he's put all of his keys in a biscuit tin and recorded the sound of him throwing it down the stairs over and over. Mix in a few bleep-blorps from his microwave and lyrics that appear to have been written by the local tramp (after having consumed half a bottle of Domestos) and one realises that we should be congratulating Thom Yorke. He's the first man to release a full album featuring just the sound of him masturbating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioheads latest album, Hail to the Thief is excellent. 2+2=5 and Wolf at the Door are as good as anything they have done, so to say they have lost the talent they had is ridiculous IMO.I say fair play to them for not resting on their laurels and producing the same identikit albums time after time, which they could easily have done. Instead they wanted to push the boundaries of their music, which as artists they are fully entitled to do. Its all a matter of taste in the end, i suppose.I havent heard The Eraser yet, so I cant make an opinion on it, but I have heard Harrowdown Hill is excellent.

I don't believe they changed to push their boundaries at all but that's just my opinion. As you said it's taste though. I didn't bother with Hail to the Thief because the stuff i heard off it was well rubbish really. I'll download it and give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzinio Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thoms new album i think is brilliant! Some really wicked drum beats and chords! You know if thom writes the lyrics then there going to be good and he doesnt disapoint on this album!!I think the album is a grower! so if u don't like it 1st time round then give it another couple of tries! i love Black Swan!Radiohead one of my favourite bands of all time!I cant wait to see radiohead live at V Festival this year!! I think Kid A is one of those albums that i could listen to over and over again, because its so different to anything else!But over all i think everyone should give Thoms album a try! if its not your cup o tea o well! But i think most people will like it!one more piece of advise listen to it on a really good stereo with loads of bass! Sounds amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset_Cider Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 My problem is I'm old enough to remember some truly great bands.......... and I don't think 'Radiohead' really fits the 'Truly Great' bill......... good yes (I don't like them much mind you) but nothing more....... we will see if we are still talking about them in 10, 20,30 or 40 years time?
