Radiohead -- "LP9" -- New Single: Burn The Witch

Re: Radiohead -- "LP9" -- New Single: Burn The Witch
Oasis and Radiohead rose through the ranks together in the ’90s, but over the last half decade, their careers have taken opposite trajectories. The former broke up in 2009, and while its two found members have worked tirelessly launching their own solo projects, all anyone wants to talk about is an Oasis reunion. The latter, meanwhile, not only remains active, but is arguably the most celebrated band in all of music. So you can understand why Noel Gallagher isn’t among those eagerly awaiting Radiohead’s ninth studio album.
In an interview with Esquire UK, Gallagher was asked if he was “aware” of the hierarchy of UK bands. He responded, “I’m aware that Radiohead have never had a fucking bad review. I reckon if Thom Yorke fucking shit into a light bulb and started blowing it like an empty beer bottle it’d probably get 9 out of 10 in fucking Mojo. I’m aware of that.”
Later, when discussing the backstory of “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and its subsequent legacy, Gallagher took another shot at the Radiohead frontman. “Technically, there’s better songwriters than I am. Guardian writers will tell you that. Have other people’s songs ever really touched a generation, though? Radiohead? When do people listen to them? Is it when they go out, or is it when they come in? Because I’m struggling to think.”
He continued, “Look, as soon as Thom Yorke writes a song as good as fucking ‘Mony Mony’, give us a fucking shout. Me and my missus, we were at the Coachella festival a couple of years ago and Radiohead were headlining. We were like, ‘Right, let’s give them one more chance. Let’s go and see them.’ Beautiful, sunny night. We walked out through the crowd as they came on, and they were playing this post-techno: ‘de-de de de.’ We were a bit pissed. Fucking great. And then he started singing. No. Not for us. We’re party people.”

Good stuff. But they're trying way too hard. Most music fans would kill for them to just make good songs again.

It's an okay album. Nothing for me will ever come close to the trifecta of The Bends/OK Computer/Kid A though. Three masterpieces in a row.
And Noel Gallagher is fucking hilarious.

The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac are all 10/10 for me. Hail To The Thief would probably get the same minus 5 or so songs. I really enjoy the new album so far. Much more so than King Of Limbs which was a grower which I still would only give 6/10.

I agree but that still makes Amnesiac a killer LP. These guys just set the bar incredibly high.

Listened to it enough times to form an opinion: it's fine.
They've just be repeating themselves. Their first 4 or 5 albums were pretty different from each other, but their last 4 have been very similar, and not in a good way. I just hope for another Bends... writing good cohesive songs, like on Bends, is far more difficult than the atmospheric wankery they've been doing lately.

The band couldn't have dumb enough to not get permission from the copyright holder when they made the video could they?
