mince !!!

They’re alright. Though tbh I HATE the start of twist. Thom just saying that for nearly 3 minutes gets annoying.
I’m not really expecting anything amazing though, after all, they were done for a fashion show…

As my wife so aptly put, the Radiohead that blew back your hair & musical imagination is never coming back. The lead singer maybe the biggest proponent of it. Does this even constitute as music?

His wife is on the money Faceao. You just don’t have the balls to admit that this once great band has disappeared up their arses so far they now find themselves tickling their tonsils. I used to think that if Radiohead brought up a song which was nothing more than a 3 minutes wet fart, it would be met with critical acclaim on this website. Well, these two songs might just be Thom Yorke solo pieces, but it proves my point.

Ok people, I don’t think Thom was exactly trying to out do Kid A or whatever when he made these. I imagine he experiments by himself a lot and gave a clothing company some music he thought some models could walk to.

Stuck Together is really beautiful. Hard for me to listen to Twist though.

Absolutelly love stuck together, I want more of this.

The way i look at it is whats the point RH or Thom doing the same old stuff time and time again as per Coldplay and all the other staduim crap out there? Okay KOL is a bit of a grower but in my opinion without a band like this music would be a massively poorer place. I’ll bet the band are on serious form on the new tour, cant wait.

I think they’re both beautiful pieces, a whole new take on the glitchy sound-collages Thom has been experimenting with these past few years. Not mind-blowing, but certainly commendable. Looking forward to the new Atoms for Peace record.

Go put on whatever recycled crap you enjoy and stfu. Thom is just as likely to write something brilliant on acoustic as he is on a laptop, and he passes it on for free. Why on earth are they forbidden to explore new territory. They have evolved into electronic music, and correctly so. It’s not them with the imagination problem. Its fn 2012 bro. You and your wife are officially old and out of it. You really gonna sit there an yell at thom to get off your lawn?

People seem so willing to make big judgments about music that are actually only relevant to their individual perspective. So these tracks don’t deliver what you conceptualize as what makes Radiohead great? How about we approach tracks on their own terms and listen to what they’re evoking rather than which of our preconceived expectations they’re failing to meet. Clearly making a hair-raising, climactic, anthemic song was not on the mission statement here.

Edit: oh and to anyone asking ‘if this even constitutes music’… There’s a whole universe to discover outside that box you’re in.

here’s a poor , rather than appalling quality version of Stuck Together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmurNrsa-90

Yeah this isn’t Radiohead. Quit writing off Radiohead because Thom is doing solo stuff that you don’t like. No one got pissed at Radiohead when Selway did a folk album.

Twist is poo but I like Stuck Together. It held me interest for it’s duration anyway. I like the choice of sounds and I like the space in the production. I thought it was atmospheric. Yeah, of course it isn’t going to make anyone come in their pants, but for what it is, and FWIW, I think it is good.

So fuck it.

Did you hear any of Thom’s solo stuff a few years back? It’s not as though Radiohead is releasing new stuff. Personally, I love the homage he gives house music and the different UK flavors of techno (garage, actual dubstep, etc…). Also, the dub influence came out on “Pulled Apart”, as well as the layered drumming. True, calling everything that Radiohead touches “the greatest thing in history” is narrow minded, but you, in turn, are showing narrow-mindedness by dismissing everything Post-OK Computer. I love that these guys continue to explore…I can put any of the old stuff on repeat if I want to hear it again.

No, the band that “blew back YOUR hair” isn’t coming back. If they made those albums over and over, they wouldn’t amaze us anymore either. I’m not blown away by everything they do now, but they keep experimenting and moving forward. Furthermore we live in an era where EVERYBODY can share their words, songs, photos, etc… Seems to me that the individuals that comprise Radiohead are just embracing that idea and putting their new ideas on the table. Just because we put them (and their work) on a pedestal, they aren’t obliged to meet our expectations with everything they do. Polished and pristine albums now share a space with the ideas that led up to them and ones that didn’t make the cut. To me it’s fun to see their trajectory, both by the albums that have made up their career, and now the one-offs and side projects along that arc.

What I don’t understand is that so many people seem to die unless they can’t complain about something, liking something is always better then not liking something, it just feels better, right?
That’s the whole point of enjoying something to look at, listen to, relax with so if you don’t like it stay away from it because it wasn’t meant for you, stronger; your opinion doesn’t count since it has nothing to add and with that; who are you to judge?
On the other hand, liking something makes people happy so that’s a vibe worth sharing even if the ‘likers’ are unexperienced newbies who never heard of The Bends, fuck The Bends or whatever genius things that were, this is now and you take it or you leave it or at least get over it.
I love it and I didn’t think In Rainbows was better then TKOL, I just listened to it more often:)

i think you people need to get with times. ambient/experimental/electronic music like this is catching big! and radiohead have been making it since kid a! i don’t understand how all you ever want is the same thing. yes, ok computer was amazing. but they gained ten times more respect in my book when they put down their guitars for a computer and made the best album of all time KID A! that being said this is yorke’s solo music and not radiohead.

Yep!! I always liked the mini pieces of music that he or they used in between songs in the Blips or Most Gigantic Lying Mouth videos – they all end up cool little songs themselves, or part of a bigger song (e.g. Cymbal Rush).

I think most people took these pieces too seriously and critically as if they were A side singles… although, that, in a way, is also Radiohead’s fault of releasing A or B sides once in a while without warning these days.

HAHA ok.

I JUST DONT GET OR UNDERSTAND WHY PEOLE LIKE THIS TECHNO GARBAGE
