I think they only Bends songs they played were Street Spirit and Planet Telex (which would have been f-ing amazing)

Close To The Edge is so damn good. Might 5 it soon

Exactly Rowan. Ed has sweet pipes anyway, backing vox in Weird Fishes >



They played Planet Telex when I saw them, it sounded way more electronic/synthesized than on the album but it fucking ruled



Haven't jammed Close To The Edge in a year, should probs get on to that

I want to hear Ed do lead vocals without Thom one day, seriously

Are we talking about Yes now? Where did that come from?

From the depths of the abyss that is my subconscious mind.

The Thom/Ed harmonies on Identikit are sweeeeet



It would be awesome to hear, but Thom's voice is to iconic and synonymous with the image of the band for that to happen IMO.

Is Jonny doing the soundtrack to the next Paul Thomas Anderson film (I think it is the adaption of Inherent Vice)?

No idea, he did do The Master and I think There Will Be Blood

"It would be awesome to hear, but Thom's voice is to iconic and synonymous with the image of the band for that to happen IMO."

Gilmour is synonymous and iconic to Floyd but Waters and Wright still sung on songs, McCartney and Lennon are iconic to the Beatles but Harrison and Starr still sung songs, you get my point

As long as they don't come out with a new cd that has two entire tracks where Ed is the only one singing like Muse did with their bassist.

Album Rating: 3.5

^ except the songs that Muse's bassist sung were fucking amazing on a terrible, terrible album

basically I'd be fine with that as long as the rest of the RH record was better than the rest of the 2nd Law

Album Rating: 5.0

But Floyd and The Beatles always had multiple singers/front men. Thom has been the face of the band since their inception. Especially seeing as he writes all the lyrics and judging by his personality I just don't see a situation ever arising in which Ed will sing lead vocals on a song. I could be wrong, that's just the way I see it. More harmonizing would be great though especially given their contrasting voices.

don't want ed leads

Lol as if a Radiohead album is ever going to be as bad that shite.

"But Floyd and The Beatles always had multiple singers/front men. Thom has been the face of the band since their inception."

Fair point but that doesn't mean he can't delegate the leads every now and then, a la Froosh doing leads on Chili Peppers songs

"don't want ed leads"

you're wrong then

"Lol as if a Radiohead album is ever going to be as bad that shite."

a couple years ago most people would've said the same about Muse and look what happened. Obviously I have faith in RH though

Radiohead >>>>>>>>>> Muse

Album Rating: 5.0

While I liked the bassist songs a lot and thought they were among the better ones on 2nd law, I didn't think they worked on the album precisely because they broke from a long career of Bellamy singing leads, and that break in consistency was jarring to me. Of course, compared to Radiohead I could care less about Muse, but I'm just using them as an example. I don't think it would work having Ed sing leads, and it's mainly because it would break that consistency that they've had this whole time with Thom always leading.
