New Radiohead Album

bah, the boys better come to mofo Australia- ive wanted to see them forever and ever and ever and ever.......

They're rumoured to be playing Witnness, a two-day festival in Ireland. I'll be going anyway because it kicks arse no matter who plays at it. I remember last year, 25 or so people stading around in a circle at 3.30am on Monday morning, belting out Karma Police. One of the greatest memories of my life.

A friend of mine saw them a year or two ago, said it was really great. I'd definitely see them if they came around again. Favorite album for me would have to be The Bends, but OK Computer is a close second. Fake Plastic Trees is my favorite song.

Do the Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly ever play there? I think it's flogging molly's lead singer who was born in Ireland. And are there any good Irish bands that us in the states maybe never heard of?

HEY! THE CD IS COMEING OUT THE DAY AFTER FUGITEVES & REFUGES! SO when the countdown is done, we can count for one more day, then.... RADIOHEAD MANIA!

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!.......i loooooooove radiohead, i can't wait......i must see them in concert this year.......ok computer was the first radiohead album i heard, and it is my favorite........

Am I the only person that thinks Amnesia is amazing?

obviously, no.

No, what I mean is, everyone is like "OK Computer this, OK Computer that, OK Computer rules, OK Computer is the shit." No one ever mentions Kid A or Amnesia when they mention Radiohead. You might as well not mention The Wall when you mention Pink Floyd or Tommy when you mention The Who.

EDIT: What I mean by this is that just because they're experimental albums doesn't mean they aren't as good as the others. Which is why I mentioned The Wall and Tommy.

amnesia's the only one i own, actually. it's trent reznor's favorite too.

I think Kid A and Amnesiac are definately great albums. I instantly liked OK Computer when I first heard it, but the most recent two took a while to grow on me.

I still think Street Spirit and Fake Plastic Trees on Bends are their best songs though, even though the Bends wasn't the strongest album overall.

Pablo Honey...well its the first what can I say? It does have Creep, but that song is so far ahead of the others on the album its fascinating.

Talk Show Host is known as one of the best B-sides by any band, ever. It really is a great song, actually. One of the three [studio] versions of the song is in Romeo + Juliet (great movie), or more specifically in the scene near the beginning when Romeo is walking on the beach, and the Montagues (his parents) drop of Benvolio to talk to him.

I can't get over these connections in my life... I one day a few years ago I decided to pick up a Nine Inch Nails CD and I loved it. Another day when I was 11 or 12, I decided to go pick up Fight Club and read it for a book report for school and I loved it. Then one day I find out Chuck listened to Nine Inch Nails while he wrote Fight Club. One day i saw the trailer for American Psycho. Looked it up to see if it was a book on Amazon.com and found out it was, and Chuck was under related authors. Now I find that after thinking I was the only one that though Amnesia was the best Radiohead album, Trent loves is the most too. These are just a few examples. For some reason, every single thing I like is related to the other things... It's so bizarre and psychologically numbing.

Kid A is fucking awesome, just like OKComputer, except OKComputer has more replayabilty (to me) than Kid A. I've never heard any other album by them.

Not to be offensive, but you can't say that Radiohead, or any other band for that matter, is the best band ever without listening to a lot more then two CDs of their music. It's like saying that Stephen King is the funniest writer ever because you read two books of his that were funny and are judging the rest based on that. Hope that made sense.

not really that bizarre...all the things you've talked about are related creatively, written in similar moods, so to speak, and for the same social reasons. if you're attracted to one, it makes sense for you to be attracted to the others. and the creators of things like FC, AP and NIN are just people too...makes sense for them to enjoy each other's work as well.

Just to clear it up, to whom it may concern, the album is entitled Amnesiac, with a 'c' at the end. And as far as I'm concerned, all the Radiohead albums are good, all but Pablo Honey being absolutely amazing. OK computer just tops my list for a number of reasons. First of all, the diversity of the music. It goes from the guitar sound to computer sound to all over the place. Second of all, it has my favorite song "Exit Music (For a Film)." I have yet to hear a song as emotional as that. You don't even need to listen to the words for it to impact you. Anyway, point is, it's not like just because OK Computer is the most mentioned album, everybody thinks the other one's suck. That's far from the truth.

I second that

But Stephen King has ALOT of books. And lots of people agree with me that OKComputer and Kid A are the bast albums ever made. And I understand what your saying.

For those my fellow Cult members from Europe who just happen to be Radiohead fans, check out these tour dates:

Kid A is groovy, OKC is good, especially the B-sides.

The rest is ehhhh...

First of all, it's hilarious how people who are posting saying they are Radiohead fans and saying that "Amnesia" is a great album. It's Amnesiac, you cubes.

And OK Computer is their best album, standing at a perfect 10 where The Bends, Kid A and Amnesiac are 9-point-somethings

And the new song "There There" is going to be one of their greatest songs to ever be released, judging by the Lisbon live performances.

And this might be album of the year.

oh, get the pole out of your ass. when did we say we were radiohead "fans"? i said i liked the album. last i heard that was still legal.

also, you're last on the bandwagon with correcting us...rents already did it, in a much more civilized way.

Look at lenordshelby's "I know music" entry about Radiohead's albums and tell me he's not posting as a fan.

P.S. I'm not civilized, and that why ladies love

And those Melvins released something a'weady.
