Well we just got the new Radiohead album in. Been waiting a long
time to hear this and have avoided the evil downloady websites which people
have been telling me about in favour of waiting for it to be released.
There's always far too many records to listen to. Lovingly packaged in
a gatefold double album sleeve, or the limited CD comes in an elongated
paper cover (almost like a road map) which folds out and looks utterly
gorgeous. Musically it's a progression on from Amnesiac. Bits of electronics
(mainly beats) mixed in with more guitarry tracks. One of the tracks reminded
me of Mogwai in places. No one else does the depressing music thing
as wqell as them and a lot of this isn't really that depressing. If ever
a band had a good idea for a tune it's Radiohead and on 1st listen
this sounds marvellous. I can't wait to go home and play it all weekend...... Hail To The Thief sounds tops already!
