Radiohead touring in 2016

[PastRecedes]

Identikit sounds just like an Alt-J song, especially the 'broken hearts make it rain' part at 2.30

That won't be a popular opinion on here 

I can definitely see where you're coming from though.

 

 

Ps. Alt-J are good

Well it's more of a 'alt-J sound a bit like Radiohead sometimes' kinda thing. I bet they're as big Radiohead nerds as we are.

I was going to say exactly this.

Haha yeah I wasn't sure how to word it without being controversial, it's just the part i mentioned at 2.30, Thom's vocals sound just like the singers from Alt-J imo

Do people think the album will be available on Spotify like the two recent songs?

Spotify are apparently working on getting it as soon as they can

[FuzzyDunlop]

I kinda wish I could listen to it again for the first time  Slightly jealous of you Fuzz.

Cool thanks man. Interesting considering they had Burn and Dayreaming already. We shall see.

[General Lee]

Listened again while lying in the bath.

It's a fucking travesty that they've released this 6 weeks before Glastonbury and somehow aren't headlining this year. 

[brettredmayne]

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it now 

[jparx]

After 24 hours to digest it, what are everyone's thoughts on True Love Waits?

I think it's absolutely stunning, and quite possibly my favourite album closer of all time. That bit where Thom's voice cracks a little is just sheer perfection. I'm glad they decided to record it now since this record is so haunting and dripping with emotion, so why not end it with the most emotional song they have ever written? I think it would have felt out of place on their other records. 

Easily stands out as the one of the 4 best songs on the album (with Numbers, Present Tense and Decks Dark imo)

as somebody who never really hyped over the original live version as many seemed to i absolutely love it, and like you say, it seems very fitting to end this album on (which has Thom's breakup all over it). looking forward to seeing it played live in this arrangement (i'm assuming they'll play it on this upcoming tour)

I definitely wasn't sure at first. I thought on the first few listens it felt like it was a 20 year old song in amongst a more contemporary album, which I know it is, but I definitely thought it was noticeable. However it is growing on me, it's a beautiful song. I'm not 100% it could not have been better served as a b-side like SPECTRE, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for the moment. 

[AdamWillingham]

drummer from alt-J is quite the fan 

[winnets99]

So I'm loving the new album. 

The only tracks I can't get into are Desert Island Discs & Tinker Tailor. 

Can't wait to hear it live at the Roundhouse, particularly Identikit & The Numbers....in fact all of it!

Oh and A Moon Shaped Pool is great. Off to buy the vinyl now

You'll be in for a long wait

I'm genuinely in awe at how perfect this album is. I've listened to it so many times already in different locations, with and without headphones and each time I'm finding and feeling something new from it.

The fact that a band more than 30 years after their formation can create such a mesmerising work of art is incredible. 

[Ipayne]

After probably around 8 listens it's safe to say I'm really enjoying the album, only song I don't really enjoy from the album is Tinker Tailor. Identikit, Daydreaming, Ful Stop and Decks Darks are probably my favourites for sure! The album just fits my current mood perfectly, I definitely need a Radiohead detox though as they're all I have been listening to for the last couple of weeks!

I wasn't massively convinced by tinker tailor as well at first - but as usual with radiohead on any particular listen something new will hit me. The outro to that song is fantastic. Really loving the album. Can't wait for the roundhouse.

 

really hoping for another "basement" also for this one....

I just listened again in isolation and the outro just got me too - will be amazing live!

I can't wait for that first night of the tour excitement when we will have no real idea how they're going to pull these songs off live. I mean we heard rudimentary versions of a lot of them, but there's so much more to them now. 

[brettredmayne]

To pull this off live is going to be interesting, some of the arrangements seem so complicated.
