My choice for Radiohead’s video contest…
Thursday, June 26th, 2008is still undecided. but i think this is my front-runner right now. Maybe I like the style with the vignetting and apocalyptic message or maybe I just like it because it was one of the few that was finished.
Charts 11/07
Thursday, November 15th, 2007Slow month musically for me, but really this is album deserves to be alone.
Radiohead
In Rainbows
In never ceases to amaze me how Radiohead continue to evolve with each new album release. The last 3 albums’ were desolate, masterpiece commentaries on machinery (and governments) run amuck. In Rainbows begins like it is going to be more of the same with 15 Step’s frantic drum-machine beats, but from nowhere comes the long lost sound of a melodic guitar riff. Awkward at first, the sound of it is like an old friend you haven’t seen in years, but soon pick up where you left off. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t The Bends 2, but, to me, it shares more aural elements with it than Hail to the Thief, but with out the big rock styling of The Bends. Even then, songs like Weird Fishes/Arpeggi and Reckoner feel like completely fresh, new territory for the band, I like it.
Welcome to soulful, intimate Radiohead.
(On a personal note, I’m super glad they gave Nude the proper album treatment. It has been one of my favorite bootleg live songs for years.)
