@digital_glasses 8 месяцев назад

For anyone wondering what the 'answer' is to the time signature mystery, it's 7 bars of 5/4 and then a bar of 6/4 which is why justin is being thrown off. The chorus seems to be in something like 9/4 but in a very loose swung half time which gives it a feel like it's slowing down more than it is and that the pulse has shifted. You can count through it though.

And not only have they been together since they were kids, they all were able to mature musically through almost four decades of their lives. There’s also bands that have a couple great albums, there’s only 2 founding members out of 6 but they keep producing records you barely hear about but get by touring and fans keep yelling hit songs to play. Radiohead and specifically Thom actually make new music and it sells and it’s just as good as anything they’ve done which is saying something! They’ve never made a crap records (we have to remember the music at the time) and ability to do what they wanted was so different and beautiful. I know people really miss ok computer era. Miss the old way they’d play the guitars. But I always know “3 Listens” which is what I call breaking in a new RH or off shoot album. I know the first listen I’ll be surprised and I think it could be the one I finally don’t click with. Then after the third listen it’s the only thing I pretty much listen to!

But I agree, it's best to just let it was over you and surprise you, rather than fight to make sense of it. It's a beautiful song.

@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435 8 месяцев назад

I'll admit it here, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are the musical embodiment of "aging like a fine wine" and I'm not even sure if this is the best words to describe it. It's just crazy to me, how their sophomore release under this (arguably) a Radiohead spin-off outfit somehow still managed to be just as interesting as the first one. Especially when you consider their ages, it's really fantastic to see them continue growing their artistry and maintain relevancy in the current landscape of music industry and trend, while not succumbing into the so-called "boomer mindsets".

@Ofthegirl09 8 месяцев назад

He's not a boomer. And music is the one vocation you cannot use ageism with. I mean I get it, I know some artists go off the rails after a certain amount of time trying to chase $$ and relevancy. But if you've been making proper music your entire adult life, why would you start making crap? Not the Thom Yorkes of the world! I can't see Eddie Vedder who will be 60 this year just start putting out chart grabbing music just because he's 60. I wouldn't expect anything less from Yorke or the many other artists who have always been originals.

@sagittated 8 месяцев назад

Don't go stealing them from Gen X and giving them to our parents.

@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435 8 месяцев назад

@@Ofthegirl09 I'm not saying they're boomers in the literal sense, I'm just referring to this "boomer mindset" thing. That is, a sort of conservative POV on music that argues for "a return to a form" to the current trend and direction of popular music, in the broad sense. The most notable type are people who always complain about the perceived "decline" in modern music but at the same time, attempted to gatekeep certain indie or alternative artists or groups simply for trying to reinvent the wheel and produce music with the appeal for the youth listeners overseas.

I've heard the New Gallagher and Squire song, its alright, its a 3 minute pop-rock radio song but I doubt I will go back to it... on the same day I got this track and honestly I've heard it about 30 times now and its better with every listen, comparing the 2 is like comparing The Mona Lisa to a kids crayon drawing.

I once asked a Radiohead fan group what song by The Darkness Radiohead should cover, reciprocating The Darkness's timeless cover of Street Spirit. None of the fans seemed to find the idea enticing or even amusing. I reckon Thom would be into it though, and could probably drag Jonny along if he promised him he could use the Ondes Martenot on it. But the question remains: what song?

@vinny142 6 месяцев назад

"They're just messing around and having a daft laugh" They did what Metallica did with Lux Eterna: take bits from popular songs and make your new song sound like all of them. There is a reason why this guy keeps saying "now it sounds like"... it's because it does. It constantly sounds like something very good. It ISN'T very good, it just sounds like something we really like and so we get the same feeling. Watch the recent BBC live performance and play "spot the notes that are in tune", or "spot the time the singer hit the note he was aiming for". This is a great post-production band.

When listening to "The Smile" remember you have Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead taking things into as many mixed time signatures as you can imagine. Greenwood won an Oscar for the Soundtrack to No Country for old men (and another film I think) Whats special is that Thom can hit and hold notes that form the melody, or counter melody and more. Listen to their tribute to Harry Patch. Its stunning.

Then it sounds like the ending section ("All of that money...") is in 5 the whole time but wraps up with a ritard bar of 4 and then kind of a free time ending. I could be wrong about all of this.

Listened to the new album yesterday for first time before work. I can't fucking wait to walk to lidl with it on my headphones in a minute. Bending Hectic favourite so far, the tumbling guitar glitch that shouldn't work but does, they paint with sound like the jedi's of any artistic field can reach with their respective medium. I got the beatles reference too as the detours reminded me of a day in the life. I'd go as far as to say the beatles are underrated as the screaming hype comes before them and people rarely actually listen.
