Thom won't keep you on a leash
lso some of thom's worst vocals on that record tbh, just lazy meandering falsettos.
i really like In Rainbows but there's definitely a trend with thom yorke's singing over the last few years where he's relying more and more on just humming and cooing in a falsetto as a replacement for actually singing words or doing something interesting. i'm sure some rh haterz would say he's ALWAYS done that, but it's grown more pronounced and frequent recently. i'm not sure where he started relying on it too much but i feel like it turned a corner in the in rainbows era?

I'm not a hater, but I'd say he turned that corner after The Bends, i.e. when things got really good

but when does he do it on OK Computer?

i feel like I might be the only person who voted for 'jigsaw falling into place' (though it was at #20).
one of two songs of in rainbows i quite like, and somehow it was the song that 'got me into' radiohead.

xp I feel like it's in 'let down' even if he's technically singing words

'bug in the ground' = 'bugginarouuhhahahahaound'

xxxxxp actually, there's a lot of aahhh-oooohs in Paranoid Android anyway.
― post...aftermath (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 8 September 2014 03:10 (nine years ago) link
so I'd say it started with the instrumental break of Paranoid Android
yeah that. i think thom's voice as an instrument prolly peaked at the bends, i mean he just fucking belts shit out and goes for it, i can see why ppl would be upset about him abandoning it because he had a rock n roll *voice* fw that's w, and i can imagine his years of touring and drinking in the 90s strained it. plus his tendencies for more "introverted" sounding music now have put a damper on those tendencies anyway. i dont mind the moan now, but he uses it so much in plac of an actual musical idea and it signifies nothing to me other than wet bathmat.

I'm leaving for work soon so if you (or anyone else) can get a ballot in within the next six hours it'll be counted.

YEah, it's definitely the standout on IR for me. Feels like these last few albums all have at least one world-beating song on them and about 3 which leave absolutely no impression on me whatsoever. It's prob why my tracks ballot and my albums ballot don't really sync up so well because my top ten tracks are skewed towards those few late great songs while the earlier albums win out.
