Not officially released until Tuesday, I believe. I think I've got something to say, but I'll wait a bit. Like, until I've heard some of it, maybe.

*looks at the date*

Ok, so it isn't officially released until _later_ today. Sheesh, it isn't even today yet here.

The whole album was aired on the radio here over the space of two nights. It's different.I'll say no more.

MTV aired one of their new music videos. It's only 15-seconds long

I still love the OK computer album, its been 3 years, and i still listen to it on a daily basis. i hope Kid A is as good, but so far, i've seen some mixed reviews, then again, what the hell do music reviewers know.

You have to listen to it about 3 times before it dawns on you how great it is...

Listened to Pablo Honey for the first time in a month two days ago. In all fairness lads, it's bloody brilliant. Guitars, drums, vocals, the works.

And The Bends? *swoon*

The new album is like someone in a trance playing with capacitors and tuning forks.

I'm a bigger fan of Radiostar.

They used to be called Honor Among Thieves.

Now they're SR-71.

I know a guy who looks the guy who's in Radiohead.

It's funny. He looks like a gnome.

I just got an import CD of Impellitteri. Radio-who? 80's metal's where it's at.

You just got to love OK Computer's "Exit Music (From A Film)", it's just so powerful! That, and "Karma Police" and "Paranoid Android"

It was actually Paranoid Android and Karma police that got me into radiohead in the first place. I really like the crazy cartoon video for Android...

Heh, Are they Trek Fans... Honour Among Thieves and then SR-71 - sure it wasn't SR-558

"Honor among theives" is a rather old saying. The SR-71 Blackbird is a no-longer-used reconnaissance (read: spy) plane.

Actually, the X-Men still use it. And they are real.

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :

Actually, the X-Men plane is only vaguely similar to the real Blackbird. It definatly isn't an SR-71.

Though, I thought NASA was still using 1 SR-71 for testing, specifically with the X-33 VentureStar's new engine.

Well, maybe. But it isn't being used as a spy plane anymore. At least, not that the public knows of... :-)

I've been listening to Radiohead's Kid A for several weeks now. Found some program or other on the web that got me the music even before it was released. Odd.

Anyway, it's possibly the most disturbing album I've ever heard. Quite different to OK Computer.

Gotta love "The National Anthem" and "Idioteque"

"...I was just up in Canada, Toronto actually. You know, they really hate you guys [Americans] up there? The funny thing is, they think you hate them back, when in fact, you just couldn't be bothered to care. Now in Ireland, it's a different story. At least we had the common decency to wait until the English invaded before we started hating them. I guess the Canadians are hating you in advance..."

I just bought it last night, and so far I really like it. "Optimistic" is really good.
