Little By Little reminds me of Can, it's a beauty.

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I got a Can vibe through out

Remix album version is pretty tasty too

freeyourradio.bsky.social•2 days ago

My fav Radiohead album those days.

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

See that's a response I would've found very surprising at the time. Two tracks in is good

freeyourradio.bsky.social•2 days ago

I was like you when it first came out. But sow them perform the album at secert Glastonbury gig, and since them i have loved it more and more. Also feels like they didn't kill eachother making it, and you can hear it in the music. Plus Lotus Flower is one of my fav tracks of theirs.

not a favorite but it's got some bangers

rmhayes.bsky.social•2 days ago

You should really check this out — https://youtu.be/hI5YMDioDBY?si=Lt30Pi6Cc6635Ntv

IMO it’s better than the released version but this is controversial

bugfajita.bsky.social•2 days ago

I feel the same way about In Rainbows live from the basement

rmhayes.bsky.social•2 days ago

100%

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

Watching now. Second person today to recommend it. Thanks!

YAAAAAAAA

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, not sure why I had a negative reaction back in 2011. Probably just not where I was in what I was listening to. I wanted more like "Bodysnatcher" from them, which is NEVER how they've operated.

jlasoul.bsky.social•2 days ago

I love it. Big fan of the glitchy stuff and "electronic Thom" influence, but the more straight ahead songs like 'Separator' are great too. Also extra special to me because the first time I saw them live was on the TKOL tour.

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think I was partially disappointed at the time there was nothing like "Bodysnatchers", but this is better than I gave it credit for

synthstatic.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe my age showing but it’s in my top 3 fave album of theirs

I remixed Codex once ages ago using my sample-based methods. That's how much I love this album. 😌

calebjcook.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Live from the Basement performance is my favorite way to hear KoL these days. Really opens the songs up and lets them breathe. https://youtu.be/hI5YMDioDBY?feature=shared

I was the same exact way in 2011, and I think I just wanted In Rainbows 2, but BOY have I come around to TKOL and absolutely love it now

bobbycousy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh man this was my coming down from bender album for a bit. Headphones music.

brianflota.bsky.social•2 days ago

I actually like it much better than In Rainbows (an album whose widespread adulation mystifies me). Of course, I'm also not super into Radiohead, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's fair. I think In Rainbows landed at a right time in this little pocket of history bc music nerd intelligensia had marinated on OK Comp/Kid A long enough to ballyhoo them, music blogs were in full orbit, and four years was a long time since their last. People ate it up

brianflota.bsky.social•2 days ago

And the pay what you want model was novel at the time as well

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

Firgot about that! Definitely

politosway.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m a huge Radiohead fan and I’m always surprised when people cite In Rainbows as their favorite album. It’s one of theirs that I never really listen to, except for a few of the songs.

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm re-evaluating

politosway.bsky.social•2 days ago

Radiohead’s worst (excluding Pablo Honey) is still better than most bands’ best albums.

politosway.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think In Rainbows features the most “personal” lyrics Thom Yorke ever wrote, so I think that resonates with a lot of people.

bugfajita.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sometimes I think KOL is Radiohead at their most psychedelic

zwwwp.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's like my second favorite radiohead haha. it rules!
