I listened to Benji for the first time ever a few weeks back, first time I’d listened to anything by him. Thought Carissa was stunning. Also really liked I Watched The Song Remains The Same, but thought it was spoiled a bit when he started bragging about how talented he is.

My point was more that it seems odd to criticise Radiohead for not talking about themselves.

don’t recall much bragging on that particularly album but he’s definitely guilty of that sometimes. I Can’t Live Without My Mother’s Love have more emotion in it than all of Radiohead’s back catalogue for me.

I reviewed way too many stoner/doom bands in a row once and thought to myself, “I bet there’s a band called Bongfucker out there somewhere. I bet there fucking is. There’s going to be a band called Bongfucker out there and I hate them already.”

I wasn’t wrong.

Don’t go all subjective on us now! Objective truths only :wink:

maybe other artists have done that kind of direct thing but there’s no need for me personally to listen to them now. Didn’t see the point in listening to Mount Eerie for example as it would be treading the same ground.

was this Dublin 2006 when they opened with it? i was 17 and hadn’t been to many gigs yet and this was a defining gig memory for me for a long time and made me fall in love with the song so much more. they’ve never nailed the ending in quite the same way any time since (still remember the crushing anti-climax of seeing Jonny immediately balls up the riff one time).

second and third times i saw them were also very good but no real atmosphere in the crowd which spoiled it a bit - mildly frustrating setlist that third time too (London 2012). the 2017 Dublin show was the best i’d seen them since that first time, with an atmosphere to match, even though the ridiculous ticket price nearly put me off going completely.

Just throwing this out there, but I don’t think fucking a bong would be a comfortable or rewarding experience.

Also, Radiohead. Good band. Top lads. Play the guitars and the synthesizers.

Were my favourite band as a teenager and in my early 20s. Don’t get excited about them anymore. I don’t know whether thats because I’ve got older or because everything they have done after in rainbows has been terrible. Still giving a 5 though for their golden period and still being a great live band. Outkast should be leading this though.

Mount Eerie’s last couple are treading very different ground, being as they are about the death of his wife. As horrible as it is to say singing about something so tragic leads to more meaningful music than a middle aged man bitching about nothing in particular. Which is why Benji was MK’s last good album - he had something real and heartfelt to hang the whole thing on. Everything since has been pretty chords and hot air.

You know who doesn’t get enough credit in Radiohead? Colin. Genuinely a brilliant bassist. So few people who can effortlessly move between styles and write stuff that serves everything else so well. Bet he’s a great listener.
