I think I probably thought that once, I don’t any more.

#103

I put it on a playlist a while ago:

#104

if you have to alter the tracklist, it’s probably not a good album.

fuck debating what their best album is, I’ll settle on HTTT being recognised for the mediocre album it is.

#105

sort of agree, don’t fancy there there as an opener at all but i dunno, it’d be very easy to take a good album and ruin it by altering the tracklisting and chucking in a b-side. don’t think it should be written off, there’s great stuff on it. wolf at the door is probably top 3 radiohead songs for me.

#106

Was reading a while ago that the aim of a lot of HTTT was to try and capture the live sound they’d found for the Kid A/Amnesiac stuff which I can kinda see and might be why it appeals to me (the I Might Be Wrong live EP is one of my most played RH records)

There There’s a great live opener but think it works better later on the record, where 2+2=5 is a natural opener

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.

#113

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.

#115

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

#117

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?
