Radiohead
New Radiohead anyone? I downloaded the new album In Rainbows a couple weeks ago, and have been trying it out on my bike rides lately. Sure it sounds a little like the last stuff, but does it really even matter? I think it’s a given that anything they put out will be good in some form or another. My only qualm is that in one of the songs below, he sings like Anthony Kiedis on his Californication album. Maybe Thom Yorke was trying to reclaim it? I dunno.. but it makes me feel weird.
Either way, they get my respect just for putting out this album on their own. Something like 8 bucks an album (or pay what you can), right to your computer or mailbox and the labels can go fuck themselves? I hope this is the start of something. When artists realize all the power they have, maybe someday places like Tickmaster will get theirs as well.
EDIT: In case it wasn’t clear from my casual comments, I like this album a lot..

I dont think it sounds like Hail to the Thief at all. which songs or parts are you talking about here?

I didn’t mean just Hail to the Thief, I was including Kid A and Amnesiac as well. Just chord progressions and a overall sound is all. I couldn’t find a song that I thought was repetitive or redundant, it was more about the way it made me feel. I guess I should have also stated that I like this album a lot..
