im thinking a sequel to OKC, ive got a very good feeling this could be the second best album after ok computer and could well carry on where that left off
its gonna be about surburban and urban life etc etc is OKC
big ideas is gonna be on it, thats an awesome song, and from the okc era.
it seems kid a was way off, amnesiac came back abit, and then httt is almost back, now lp7 comes out- it points to a return of form.

I was thinking that too, "nude" is a song they wrote in the OKC era, and will probably be on the new album, so hopefully it will be a return to that style

[dead antics]

just so you know mate, im a huge radiohead fan and have been since OKC came out when i was 11. ive seen them live many times before and even met the lads a few times.
i didnt mean kid a wasnt good, its my second favourite album of all time, i just meant it was abit off course with the whole PH, TB, OKC progression

i think maybe lp7 will carry on from where OKC left off. . . . . more so than kid a ever did!

and btw thom admittedly says they were completely out with kid a. but cited httt as a return. . . hmmm. . . who knows. . .

[dead antics]

big ideas is nude

Yeh my comment was tongue in cheek.
You seem enough of a radiohead nerd to warrant undying respect.

I respectfully disagree with both yourself and Thom on the Kid A point. Radiohead's ability to turn sharp corners is a trademark.

It will be good to hear some more guitar based work though...

[=nuke=]

Is nobody expecting something radically different to the stuff they've done before?

I'm hoping for a return to the Amnesiac sound myself.

[dead antics]

i think during kid a, it was kinda like 'yup we're doing something different' thats why theyve often stated how gruelling it was etc etc, esp the fact they had to learn new instruments, new ways of writing
i think httt, was abit like, do what we want, use synths, guitars whatever we want
maybe lp7 will be similar. . . . .

[Phonicsdude]

I expect a slightly more minimalist HTTT.
No backdrifts fo sure...
There will be a few simple acoustic numbers...

Does anyone think Coldplay sound like Radiohead? I don't know whether they've ever stated who their influences were, but I definitiely think Radiohead is one of them.

[=nuke=]

I haven't noticed it. I don't like Coldplay and I do like Radiohead so that's interesting news.

[Phonicsdude]

Coldplay have stated radiohead as an influence.
Coldplay's entire back catalogue is thanks to Karma Police, except the start of 'yellow' which is 'just' but with different chords.

Some people have said the opening vocals on Coldplay's 'Yellow' sounds like Alan Partridge.

What about yourself, Xanthe?
Do you have an opinion on this? Do you?

[Xanthe]

I heard someone say it on Radio 1 (Chris Moyles, I think). I didn't realise at first but I would agree Chris Martin does sound very much like Alan Partridge (at the opening of the song anyway).

[Phonicsdude]

Thom York appears on the front cover of the latest NME magazine. I think there's an interview with Radiohead.

[Phonicsdude]

There is indeed.
Radiohead's first interview a propos the new album is in the latest edition of the NME released a couple of days ago.
I might buy it later.

[What's Chico Time Precious?]

That picture is like 3 or 4 years old, they've airbrushed his hair colour and fancied it up a bit.
His comments are taken way out of context...although i guess for NME it isn't too bad, love the fact they got some Arctic Monkeys reference in there as well!

Nice one Phonics Dude! ...might see you there!
