Fully agree with this :slightly_smiling_face:

By the time The Gloaming has started getting really tedious, hearing those drums suddenly start up is a proper thrill

I’m sure 2+2 used to come out pretty early in live sets but now it tends to be near the end which always feels like odd placement

Yeah - I read that too… it was all written and recorded pretty quickly too…Nigel G said they all accept now it was too long and unfocussed. I remember really not liking it at the time but in one of my recent Radiohead obsessive episodes (sparked by the OKC reissue) I relistened and it’s got so many amazing songs on it… I think Thom said at one point There There is his favourite Radiohead song… although he’s said that about more than one so far I can tell

I really HATE the song-titles-with-brackets thing, though

I can hear that, but a lot of it just sounds malnourished to me.

I’m probably also alone in thinking There There is nowhere near a top tier track. This one might sound better live, but on record it always felt a bit flat and like there wasn’t really much to the composition.

Probably my favourite song by them tbh

No, it isn’t m7.

Blue Rondo A La Turk is.

Videotape is not.

It’s essentially a Vox exclusive on the merits of syncopation in music, like any jazz musician in the last sixty years can attest to.

It’s up there (there) for me. Possibly the best song in the world to listen to while driving too.

#116

i didn’t say Videotape was m6

accept it, m4, you’ve been jazz slammed #jazzslam

I think you just gave every Tool fan on the internet a stroke.

I agree 100% that “There There” makes no sense as an opener and “2+2=5” makes no sense in the back half, and I don’t think it’s just because I’m used to the actual tracklisting.

Was anyone here at the surprise 93 Feet East gig, where they played IR in full?

Good, wasn’t it?

Aside from there, there and 2+2=5 needing to be switched, i really enjoyed this!

Pretty amazing we only have two in common, shows how diverse their catalogue is and different people will prefer different aspects.

Thought about this for a very long time but I think Reckoner is their best song.
