Radiohead
Hat:
I have a real problem with Amnesiac. I'll explain.
The first three tracks are like a bizzare chain of events. Let me draw a metaphor.
First track: Sardines. You are doing some serious foreplay with a hot chick. There are clothes being torn off, and erogenous areas tickled.
Second track: Pyramid Song. Its on now, and you two kids are going for it, all slow and sensual, with a solid rhythm, and you're about to blow
Third Track: Pulk/Pull. The girl has leapt off you right before you blow your load, smashed the lamp from your bedside table over your head, knocking you unconcious, and when you come to ten minutes later, all your valubles are missing, and you're handcuffed to the bed.
I like Radiohead. I loved The Bends, and Kid A, and enjoyed OK Computer and Hail to the Thief. Amnesiac has quite a few good songs on it, but seriously. What the hell were they thinking with that third track? I can't just skip it either, because I know its still there....

Gryff:
They are trying to freak you out! (said to the tune of "I am trying to Break Your Heart")
Merkava:
I thought I was the only one who thought that song sucked. :P
decklin:
I dunno, I liked it...
I'm not sure if that's just a matter of tuning into whatever deeper, pretentious (pretentious? Moi?) meaning-space they were coming from or just, as I said, listening to so any other things that sounded like that anyway. Perhaps both!
I hope I'm not, ah, stepping on anyone's toes by suggesting there may be more than one way to read a work.
TheLoweringTide:
Radiohead makes some ok songs I guess. I enjoyed Kid A a lot when it came out, but I wasn't prepared to call it the most innovative anything ever...probably because I'd already heard an Autechre album.
Honestly I think liking Radiohead is just kind of lazy. To me it says, "I want to appear to enjoy experimental music, but I'm not willing to put the effort into discovering it, so I'll just take what Rolling Stone defines as 'experimental' instead."
