Thom York's New Solo Album

[Krash100]

I hadn't heard anything about this before but apparently it's due out in July. He says it'll be very electronic oriented which is kind of expected. Especially since it's produced by Nigel Godrich. Here's the link

So what do you guys think? Is this bad for Radiohead? (He says no in the article)

[The Jungler]

They pulled through after Johnny went solo, so I'm sure it won't be bad. Can't wait to hear the stuff.

[Sound Boy]

i cant really stand Thom outside of Radiohead
although everything is worth at least one listen

[Matt?]

although everything is worth at least one listen
impossible.

i might download it, but i probably woudln't buy it

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Hmm.

I Want None Of This sucked, I'm glad it's not piano orientated.
There is hope.

[dei]

Thom Yorke is a twat.

[ATM]

I'd buy it.

[Interstate]

Sounds interesting, I bet it sounds like a more electronic Radiohead.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'd buy it.
Me too. And I will, I'm sure.

I think it'll be interesting, and most probably pretty good too.

[Kyle]

I'll buy it, sounds good.

Do Radiohead have a release date yet?

[Reywas]

Thom Yorke should consider getting a new eyeball

[Little Man being Erased]

Do Radiohead have a release date yet?
Next year is all they're saying at this point.

[JonM]

Yeah how bout that? I had no idea this was coming.


Wait WHAT? Radiohead is NEXT year?!

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, sucky huh?

[pixiesfanyo]

It might be alright.

He doesn't have the best voice for solo stuff, but maybe it'll be interesting. Who knows?

[JonM]

Yeah, sucky huh?****!

[Kurtz]

I'll give it a listen and decide from there.

[StaticSynth]

I'm very interested in hearing what it sounds like. For some reason, I hope it's something akin to Radiohead's darker, more eerie songs.

[ATM]

All I know is, the solo Thom Yorke concert I heard was amazing, so I expect good things from this.

[supermassive]

sounds like it could end badly. I'll give it a listen though.

did you know people at his school used to call thom yorke salamander because of his eye. no wonder he's so bitter hey?

[Annoyance]

Thom Yorke should consider getting a new eyeball

No way. He's nothing without that eye. He'll become Corgan after losing the hair.

[sgrevs]

I love thom yorke, he's a genius, i'll get this for sure.

[pikester]

I think I will like it.

[Duman]

sounds like it could end badly. I'll give it a listen though.

No wonder he wrote all those songs either then hey?

[looozer]

Sounds interesting, I bet it sounds like a more electronic Radiohead.
And what, pray tell, would that sound like?

[StaticSynth]

And what, pray tell, would that sound like?

Aphex Twin?

[Biz]

Sounds interesting, I bet it sounds like a more electronic Radiohead.
So are you saying that Kid A and Amnesiac weren't electronic? How can you get more electronic that that? What ever.

I think that Thom Yorke is nothing without Johnny Greenwood. But, I think that Johnny Greenwoods solo album for Bodysong was absolutely amazing, so I may be proven wrong. It will be interesing to see what Thom can think of now.

And what happened to Radioheads album being released in like November?
-Biz

It's the other way round imo, Thom writes all the basic structures to Radiohead's songs so Jonny is nothing without him.

Although he did write The Tourist, which rocks, but I don't think it's fair to say Thom's nothing without Jonny.

[STLMiguel]

How could it be bad?

[Shadius]

It might be alright.

er.. what?

If he dosn't have the voice for "solo stuff" how can he have the voice for Radiohead?

A solo project dosn't mean it's just his voice and one instrument, it'll likely be very similar to Radiohead, only probably going in a direction that Radiohead isn't for the next album. I'll be picking this up anyway, I can see it being pretty dark seeing as he is the main creative force in Radiohead.

[Alpha Waves]

I will probably buy it...as long as its better than hail to the thief cos that was ****
