I just found it irritating that someone tried to do this and failed to make it a poll and that none of the folks who posted to that thread even considered righting what was wrong. Sheesh, is ILM just getting lazy or what?

ILX needs another thread about in rainbows like it needs another thread about aspies getting fisted by a fake girl.

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2007 06:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i support this poll though because i've really been pining the last few days for 100+ posts on whether or not "nude" is better than "reckoner" and since i can't find that anywhere this should do it.

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2007 06:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i used to listen to that live bootleg of "nude" from the ok computer tour with the big fancy ok computer style arrangement with the organ and it was one of my favorite radiohead songs

so it's kinda shocking to hear it completely reworked but the fact that it still sounds wonderful is proof it's a good song

i like "reckoner" better now though

I don't think the powers that be would take as kindly to that happening in this thread. Bimble might be an idiot, but he's not a troll.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 07:26 (seventeen years ago) link

But if you can find something as good as humphry&ted.jpg to start it off, go for it.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 07:27 (seventeen years ago) link

there are a bunch of hilarious pictures of dogs if you gis "humphry" but this thread is kind of a time capsule and i don't want to warp it with entertaining pictures of dogs.

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2007 07:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I think in this case, derailing the thread into the ethics of pic-bombing may actually be more soulcrushing than the pic-bombing itself.

So my crime is being too obsessed with LCD Soundsystem? Christ, I don't get it. I've been listening to TONS of other music besides them. Haven't you noticed my zillion posts on the Live Aid thread this weekend? Or my posts on other threads as well? Seriously I've played LCD even less this weekend than I have been in the past/normally.

i used to listen to that live bootleg of "nude" from the ok computer tour with the big fancy ok computer style arrangement with the organ and it was one of my favorite radiohead songs

so it's kinda shocking to hear it completely reworked but the fact that it still sounds wonderful is proof it's a good song

i like "reckoner" better now though

And it's...Reckoner by a landslide!!! Hell, I'm surprised but satisfied.

If I threw a party and someone turned up empty handed, expected to be given beer and shouted at everyone when they weren't, I'd say the problem was with them, not me.

-- Matt DC, Saturday, 10 November 2007 19:08 (1 week ago) Link

I did not "shout at everyone". I left the Seattle gathering in an entirely polite manner, even saying goodbye to those who were there. Nothing in my post would have led anyone to believe I shouted at people and I don't believe anyone on this thread or board has ever accused me of shouting at people at this gathering. Nice try, though.

I don't believe the lack of posts indicated no interest, for look at how many people voted in the poll! I believe people may have felt reluctant to post, however, because they saw posts like these:

Sooner or later someone who wants to take this seriously will wake up and try to steer this back on course but fuck that dude.

anyway the britishes should be getting here fairly soon.

-- J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2007 08:01 (1 week ago) Link

Oh. Well in that case, fuck them before they even get here. Except for Dom, I'm sure he's down with the cause.

Kinda like bullies on the 6th grade playground isn't it? But never mind, Reverend, I accept your apology.

It's true there are a number of other threads dedicated to discussing this album and it's possible that those served that purpose for folks and this one wasn't needed so much for discussion. But I (and gman at least) felt this album should have a proper poll and that was the ultimate purpose of the thread, or at least it should have been.

Bimble, Saturday, 17 November 2007 02:41 (seventeen years ago) link

then it did serve its "ultimate purpose," unless you consider it getting half as many votes as the "how much did you pay for In Rainbows" poll as a failure. i bet most of the RH fanboys who clicked on the thread once and were scared away by the derail still voted.

shit, i voted!

Does anyone really get "scared away" by derails?

Goddamn, this is the internet.

Does anyone really get "scared away" by derails?

Well considering the poll was anonymous, no. Although I don't believe this thread was derailed. It was never on the rail to begin with.

Bimble, Saturday, 17 November 2007 04:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Hell, even I voted!

Hey, maybe everyone that did not vote, just did not have a favourite?

Or, hadn't figured out which track was named what?

we should do this again in a month.

Good idea.

The Reverend, Monday, 19 November 2007 11:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Hell, yeah!

After listening to an awful lot of live Radiohead and several versions of Climing Up The Walls I'm playing Kid A today though and you know I think people who think Radiohead are ever going to get any better than Kid A just need to adjust their expectations. Pretend the new album is by a different band, and you'll probably be just fine.

Bimble, Monday, 19 November 2007 12:22 (seventeen years ago) link

they don't think that radiohead will get better, or expect them to. they *want* them to.

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 19 November 2007 12:33 (seventeen years ago) link

one month passes...

right, I really In Rainbows overall, BUT can someone shed light on what exactly is so good about "Reckoner"?

it's like the ONE song on the album (ok maybe one or two more I could skip if I was impatient but still enjoy for other reasons i.e. Bodysnatchers, at least it rocks out etc) I just can't get to hang around in my memory once it's over, even whilst it's playing, sometimes... the lyrics elude me with a vagueness I can't really penetrate, there doesn't seem to be much of a tune AT ALL, nothing is ear-grabbing sonically much, there may or may not be a chorus... it just seems to start, then end a few minutes later without me anything noteworthy happening...

fandango, Saturday, 22 December 2007 01:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm honestly just completely bemused at it winning the poll. DO NOT 'GET'.

and I'd love to know what makes it not the weakest link by a large margin for everyone else?

fandango, Saturday, 22 December 2007 01:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Is it better than "Nude"?

The Reverend, Saturday, 22 December 2007 02:28 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not as good as "Street Spirit."

three handclaps, Saturday, 22 December 2007 02:39 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not as good as "Airbag."

three handclaps, Saturday, 22 December 2007 02:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, it's among their best . . .!

Then again, which tune of theirs isn't?

three handclaps, Saturday, 22 December 2007 02:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, right?

The Reverend, Saturday, 22 December 2007 06:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Things I love about Reckoner:

1. The way it's arranged & constructed. The percussion, harmonies, and main guitar motif have this vaguely Americana feel to them, while maintaining a distinctly English flavor.

2. There's a sustained sense of tension throughout the whole song. It builds gradually, until everything seems to fall apart right before the Beatles-y melody comes in ("because we separate...") during the bridge.

3. The vocal harmonies and strings are just so rich.

4. The glissando vocals toward the end are great. It's a dizzy, cavernous sound.

5. It's in E minor. :-9

J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 December 2007 07:35 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks Turangalila for actually answering my question... I'll give it another go.

I thought I vaguely remembered 'The Reverend' from old-ilx, as a reasonable poster, when did he/she/they decide to become such a dick??

fandango, Saturday, 22 December 2007 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

*humbled*

The Reverend, Saturday, 22 December 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

For me, the thing about Reckoner is when the falsetto just goes all over-the-top holy towards the end. It's bloody hypnotic, it is. And percussion cannot be beat.

Also I love ILM for making me listen to this album again, for I've avoided it for awhile now for the sheer fact that I overplayed it and I was sick of all the emotional turmoil in my personal life that it reminded me of. But I'm over that shit now, so there's no harm anymore.

Thanks!

three months pass...

Does anyone still listen to this album anymore?

youcangoyourownway, Thursday, 27 March 2008 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link

we're gonna need a new poll

banriquit, Thursday, 27 March 2008 14:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I've listened to it loads since the CD came out; probably my favourite Radiohead album. Would still pick Reckoner, I think.

Scik Mouthy, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link

I still listen to it a lot. My wife fell in love with it, and now listens to it constantly, too.

Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link

I listened to it yesterday for the first time in a couple of months and enjoyed it a lot.

chap, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link

love that new bodysnatchers video

chaki, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I was disappointed with "In Rainbows" when it came out, but I fell in love with "Go Slowly" about a month ago and I'm now coming around on the whole album. Except "Bodysnatchers," which I still find dull.

If I had to pick the best track from the first/main disc, it'd be "Reckoner." I still think the album versions of "Nude" and "Arpeggi" aren't nearly as good as the live versions.

!Alicia!, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:06 (sixteen years ago) link

yea i still listen to it hear and there.

Mark Clemente, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:08 (sixteen years ago) link

"Bodysnatchers" is a given on all of the mixes I've made for bicycling around town in the past 3 months.
