Quoteis it just me or is anyone else dying for The Bends II? Dont get me wrong, I love all their stuff but would love a return to hard, distorted rock with melodies. They just do it so well.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Don't think anyone has any idea how it's going to sound. Allegedly only eight tracks though, so could be pretty sprawling, possibly symphonic as you say.
I think In Rainbows, at least in parts, is the closest you'll ever get to it. I'm OK (Computer) with that though, as much as I love The Bends.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Can't fookin wait either. I'm hoping for something darker than In Rainbows, preferably heavy and sprawling in the mould of These Are My Twisted Words/Where You End and I Begin/Dollars and Cents etc.
Don't want the Bends II. The Bends is quality but with the exception of Street Spirit and isn't as intriguing or exciting as OK Computer onwards, and I rarely go back to it.

while i agree in general - i would just love a repeat. One of the best rock albums ever in my opinion. (calling it a rock album does it a disservice but compared to the rest of their stuff...). Where i do differ from you, I still listen to the Bends a lot.

totally with you on these points.

anyone else not seeing Irealdn or the Rep.of Ireland as a mailing option for the Radiohead vinyl
Try Eire.
caught that
bloody lefties not wanting to offend anyone
Not just you. They lost me when they started indulging in all that electronic artsy wankery.
Latest case in point:
I remember reading a rant in one of the Sundays a few years ago about how "Eire" is a made-up term used by ignorant English people. Obviously this person hadn't read the constitution.
King of Limbs is a little underwhelming so far. I'm not the biggest fan of their recent work but I was expecting to get a little more from it.
Same here. i love the Bends, Black Star is possibly my favourite ever Radiohead track. But the thing i love about Radiohead is that each album brings something different, and if they went for the Bends II, they'll have run out of ideas. Going to listen to it this morning....

does this sound like an album of new b sides? Hopefully it's a grower but a bit underwhelmed so far.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
for some fun, a bit of a trivia question for all the radioheads out there... can anyone have a guess at the top 5 viewed Radiohead songs on youtube. No cheating.

at a guess
Creep
Karma Police
No Surprises
Paranoid Android
Just
Lotus Flower has to be number one. Very very odd but fantastic video! After repeated listens, the last 4 tracks are bloody amazing. Codex and Give up the Ghost are astonishing...

3 right there Gus...
House of Cards
Creep
No Surprises
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Karma Police

Can't believe Just isn't there...
I'm a little underwhelmed so far but it's definitely growing on me. Actually I think it's really quite interesting, my only real gripe is it sounds like a Thom/Jonny record. I'd like to hear more 'band'.

From R.E.M's new album
This is really good IMO
Liking the Radiohead album. While it's not going to change the world, it will comfortably maintain their credibility and it is really quite beautiful in parts (esp. Codex, Lotus Flower, Separator). It's definitely not overly dark or rife with panic/paranoia, and I'm not feeling much anger (love the aggression in parts of Hail to the Thief) but maybe their mellowing with age. Seems like the obvious, but well executed, next step.
Anyway, keeps this fan very content. Now when's the tour?
