so these guys think there's some hidden alignment between OK Computer and In Rainbows if you play one track from each before the other starting with the first track on OK Computer.

sounds nutty as hell but i'm giving the first couple songs a shot right now

oh and if you watch the wizard of oz while listening to dark side of the moon, it turns you into a giant fucking queer

seems like you need the crossfade on for any of this to be plausible

I didn't see "of oz" the first time I read this

was like "Man why the fuck are you watching The Wizard in the first place, let alone with Pink Floyd in the background"

Abracadaniel

okay I will try this why not

Stupid Mr Whoopsie Name

Is this what happens to TOOL fans when the band doesn't release in album in years?

Seriously I like Radiohead a lot and all but come on.

Calamity Jane

the album is a critical darling, to be fair but that's a bit of exaggeration

Garlic Bread

i'm nutting some theory right about now

Calamity Jane

for example, i love the deftones album white pony

critically, it's their highest rated album across the board but it ain't the beatles (i could give a shit about the beatles)

that's program, and it's easy

Tried this last night and although the songs do compliment each other nicely it's not some sort of seamless flow. I'm sure you could mash up two albums from any artist and get the same results.

well it was the first time in a while that almost every publication hailed a major album as one of the greatest ever- and back then the media didn't discuss as many albums as it does today. It was also shocking in that it came from a band that up till then was only kinda-good, with one half decent album and one crap single during a time when U2 and Oasis were considered relevant bands.

people were shocked that so many songs could sound so much alike and make you want to kill yourself at the same time

yeah it's just little fragments of drums and atmospherics that sound a little similar. In Rainbows in general has elements of all the previous albums in it...

I don't see how anyone could picture Radiohead sitting around writing songs around the first and last 10 seconds of an old album.

they wouldn't

would they?

So where does the In Rainbows second disc fit into all of this?

Wildcard!

maybe it lines up with the Airbag EP

Monkeyfeet

I thought Kid A was the album that rocked the world ten years ago. Not OK Computer. Gawd.

Also fuck the haters

Abracadaniel

the thing with Tool's tracks was kind of neat but I don't think I ever got it working fully.

Clint Eastwood

I actually think I might like Amnesiac better than Kid A.

Abracadaniel

I listened to All Day all day today

that is what I did

a friend burned all of Girl Talk's CDs and gave them to me as Christmas presents today

also i love radiohead and they were one of my first favorite bands but sometimes other radiohead fans seem nutty in a way that makes me kind of nervous for them
