Radiohead - Page 1710

definitely not prog rock

Black Rose · 19-08-2012, 02:14 PM

So why are they up for the prog music awards?

Ms Magpie · 19-08-2012, 05:46 PM

Don't ask me, I've got no idea what you're talking about..

Black Rose · 19-08-2012, 09:26 PM

I saw an article in some magazine again the "prog music awards", probably want to get a big band to come to make it noticed by the popular music press.

Ms Magpie · 20-08-2012, 12:02 AM

Ahhh okay. I don't think the band'll make a lot of fuss about it.

Shredder2 · 25-08-2012, 03:46 PM

Well I bought and listened to Kid A last night. I'm itching to listen to it a second time.

Abracadabra · 25-08-2012, 06:33 PM

I didn't like Kid A on the first listen at all. It came as a complete shock because I had listened to OK Computer, TKOL and In Rainbows and had been blown away. Naturally I had been looking forward to listen to it, especially with everyone praising it to the skies. Now I can't make myself listen to it again.

It's one of the hardest to digest. You'll appreciate it eventually.

Brent · 26-08-2012, 07:21 AM

You get out of Kid A what you put into it

Mark · 26-08-2012, 03:58 PM

I tried listening to Kid A at the age of sixteen, it wasn't so much that I didn't get it... it just didn't mean anything. I'm four years older now, with four years' more fear, resignation and hope inside me, and the album resonates properly. It's an icy, cautious, mournful friend that I know back to front, but still can't read its mind.

Radiohead could've had the world after OK Computer, but they turned it down, in favour of the art. That is the greatest thing an artist can ever do. It's the most dramatic reinvention in the history of music, and it's near flawless. Every second is calculated to a tee like a rocket-launch, and it bleeds emotion without speaking words or having to explain itself. It's simply, the most ambitious record ever attempted, and in my opinion, it's the greatest. Only Radiohead could've done that, only Radiohead have ever done Kid A, and only they could pull it off with such flying colours.

Go out at night, walk by a river, and play the album in its entirety. It's beautiful.

This sums it all up.

Btw, age doesn't matter at all, I'm fifteen and I understand it.

I find that really quite amazing. I had to absorb of a lot of life before I could understand bands like Radiohead.

Ms Magpie · 26-08-2012, 05:30 PM

These posts sum it up pretty well. Well done, guys.

I think Kid A makes even more sense after watching MPIE. However, it's not a joyful watch but it explains why they decided to record Kid A.

After I read this, I'm questioning what my opinion will be on this album a year from now...

rainplay · 26-08-2012, 09:37 PM

The first time I watched MPIE, that scene with Thom wandering around the room, I cried haha

But, I don't really remember ever not liking Kid A though.. HTTT was harder for me to get into..
