I'm basically listening to this as I type. This first track, i don't know. It seems a bit better than the whole of fucken King of Limbs. It's lees frenetic. It does go on, though. In fact it still is.
Funny thing is, Rad1ohead, suddenly, after the release of their last EP (It's a godamn EP, ok? Ok.), started getting a shitload of flak. People started finding reasons for disliking their whole process. Their laboured, we're going to craft a godamn album for five-six-seven years process. This is in stark contrast to somone like, say, Bradford Cox, who releases, let's say, 200 FUCKEN SONGS A YEAR or whatever. This doesn't necessarily mean all of them will be good, and in fact alot of them are just pretty ok and fine to listen to BUT it beats waiting around years and years while some band who, apparently, are geniuses craft, I reiterate, CRAFT, some recording, sitting in studio, being pedantic.
You can plainly see I'm irritated and I'm trying not to let that cloud my vision, but, god, It's hard.
I guess the pressures are tough, when the world touts you as some godamn geniuses. Means you have a shiteload to prove, or something. But it's totally their fault, y'know. Release a game-changer and your game has changed. Ask Interpol. Or The Strokes. They can never live up to their previous offerings. And that's a shame.
I just think, with the weight of being fucking geniuses, Radiohead are trying way too hard to be too fucken clever. And it's boring the shit out of me.
