One of my favorite things is how they can create multiple arrangements for a single song, depending on which members or instruments are available. Keeps performances alive and spontaneous, and never feels too sparse or minimal with just these two.
I feel the exact same way. I’ve been a little stressed this month, and Radiohead’s music always brings me peace. And if it’s not Radiohead, it’s adjacent to Radiohead, i.e. The Smile, Thom Yorke, Atoms For Peace, etc.
Look at Jonny, wearing a button up shirt and a sportcoat! I’m so used to seeing him in a t-shirt that says something like “Lifeguard” that this was genuinelty surprising
tkol is unlistenable. they tried to be super expiremental cause they thought its gonna sound cool but it ended up being a cringy mess. one of the worst albums ive ever heard
This album was the first to come out during my time as a fan. I was a senior in highschool 2011. Only in 2009 did I become a fan- first with The Bends, then onward through the discography
@@swapnanilsarkar6421 The beach boys' album "Smile" has a much different feel, I don't know if this song would fit at all. I may have to respectfully disagree.
I sincerely hope Thom and Jonny haven't moved onto The Smile to give up the ghost on another Radiohead album. Hopefully all the members will come back one day, and don't instead perceive Radiohead as a band of which it is now better to just preserve its legacy. Thoughts?
The Smile is just a progression and evolution of Radiohead and Thom I feel. It’s obvious that sonically the guys have kind of transcended Radiohead and have moved far beyond their early roots.I think it’s all a lot of Sentimentality for this need for the Radiohead name to be on the next project. Why cant The Smile be that. The music is amazing
@@max_435 I disagree. The Smile is more of an outlet for Thom and Jonny to express some of their ideas without being confined to the expectations of 'Radiohead'. Another album is certainly on the way, probably around 2026/2027. Admittedly, that could well be their last.
I m not fcking the ghost, but there are many who are. Those refuse to die. Those don't give up the ghost nd have used the ghost for themselves and use it to poison others. Not a holy ghost but a walkman headphones
What the fuck do you mean by 'beta?' The only time I hear that word these days is when incels talk about 'beta cucks' and I hope that's not where we're going here.
Im sorry and no disrespect to those who enjoy this, but this is boring. I'm not the kind of person who's like, 'there's more exciting things now.' I'm not the type you can reply to angrily or condescendingly, like 'they already did more math rock-like stuff on their album or movie soundtracks'. And I know, nowadays there's so much resampling and shit, and the simple message of this performance is what's worth getting bored of. I think I covered most of the angry bullshit in comments, but really, it's bland, uninspired, and boring shit. Spinetta died doing interesting stuff; age and getting old is by no means an equivalence to being boring, uninspired, bland, and musically dull.
