I'm mostly pretty indifferent towards radiohead. I don't love them, I don't hate them. It's very very rare that I'll be in a radiohead kind of mood though. _________________ guitarfreak217 wrote: Everyone, listen to Leigh.

well, Kid A is always the one that appealed to me the most, based on what i've heard from them all… but, uh, any recommendations? i'm actually listening to Kid A right now, and it's kind of hit-and-miss: i love some of the songs, and hate others, and others i'm a bit "meh" about… |

Skip backwards to The Bends or OK Computer, or go forward to Hail to the Thief (though that also has its electronica moments). Like I said before, I usually recommend The Bends to newbies. It's their most accessible, and in many ways (instrumentation, songwriting) also their most ambitious and rewarding album. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

why shouldn't i start with Kid A? just wonderin'… edit: based on your recommendations i just watched every video Radiohead released from The Bends on YouTube. the only one i liked was "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" — the rest were just kind of, uh, crap… and boring… and stuff… and didn't really sound much like Radiohead to me… |

I've never bought or listened to an entire Radiohead album, but I do appreciate a bunch of their songs. Call me a RH 'noob', but "Fake Plastic Trees" is my favorite song of theirs. |

It's hypnotic. The rest of the Bends videos don't do the songs justice, though "Just" is pretty classic. Since you've only heard Kid A I'm not surprised those songs didn't sound like Radiohead to you. They had a completely different style then.

It sort of works out that i'll be able to download it when I get up on wednesday morning, 3 hours after the mad rush to get the album (my math says that it's coming out wednesday at 3 am EST?). I'm fine with waiting til work to listen, as my car speakers suck and I don't want to ruin the first time through. |

Holy wow, I just realized how close that is. Suh-weet. But I guess there's another thread for this.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Unless they have some crazy code built into the website to make sure everyone downloads it at midnight their own time, it should come out at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Eastern time. 6 Central, 5 Mountain, 4 Pacific. Their publicity guy has said everyone will get it at exactly the same time so you shouldn't have to stay up late or get up early. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I think every album is so different, it would be really difficult to appreciate the band after one album. The first song I heard was "Talk Show Host" from the Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack, immediately followed by "Creep" on the radio. I was very confused, like "this is the same band?" And then I borrowed my brother's CD's, and it came together for me. I realized that they were just a completely different sort of band than I was used to. |
