If you listen to this backwards after midnight Radiohead release more songs

Seriously, I am slightly freaking out that they reserved a page (or two). Interesting.

Album Rating: 2.0

Maybe they've just reserved very similar pages so people don't use 'em to release things as a joke

talked to a professor about this album, he pointed me here:



"The Oven Bird," Robert Frost



THERE is a singer everyone has heard,

Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,

Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again.

He says that leaves are old and that for flowers

Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten.

He says the early petal-fall is past

When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers

On sunny days a moment overcast;

And comes that other fall we name the fall.

He says the highway dust is over all.

The bird would cease and be as other birds

But that he knows in singing not to sing.

The question that he frames in all but words

Is what to make of a diminished thing.



sounds pretty good

the only part you reserve/buy/own is the actual domain itself. ie www.thekingoflimbs.com After that, whoever owns the domain or is running the site can create all the subdirectories and pages they want to off of the domain.



In other words, they didn't "reserve" http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/OrderTracking/MemberIndex.php AND http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/OrderTracking/MemberIndex2.php



They resreved http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/ and created the two separate php pages. Now, why they actively created 2 separate php pages, who knows. But just clearing up the concept of needing to "reserve" sub pages off of a domain.



Where this concept actually IS valid is where they bought kingoflimbs.com and thekingoflimbs.com THAT is an example of when someone would buy 2 domains (and they did).

i dont even think this is great its own right tbqh...from any other (esp. new) band it would be like, "oh, lots of potential but they need to get some of that more flat/boring stuff outta here; can't wait for their next release". some good standout tracks but idk i'm just not sold on this. i also never get the urge to replay it, whereas i completely (awesomely) wore out basically every other radiohead before.

It's a good thing that artist's reputations get people to look at things beyond the norm

Album Rating: 3.0

I wish that people sometimes gave new artists the same indulgences that more renowned artists are afforded. I wonder how many truly excellent debuts get overlooked because they take more than four spins to really appreciate...I know that I'm very guilty of deleting some random debut from my hard drive because it doesn't immediately grab me, and I do this often without really giving the music a proper chance.



Whereas with artists I love, I will listen to something many times because I have faith in them...I know this is unfair.



I dunno what I'm saying anymore

When I hear a new song from my favorite band I love it no matter how bad it is. Just the way it goes.

Album Rating: 4.0

OR we the fans, just haven't caught on to the "game-changing ambition" that is present with this Radiohead release :P

Album Rating: 2.5

wrt conradotao no that completely makes sense...it can also be flipped, sometimes "popular" or renowned bands are held to an unfair standard that "new" bands would not. a lot of fans of this record say that is happening, whereas a lot of people who don't like it might say what you're saying. whee!

Robertsona, maybe I just worship Klosterman because he started out as a lowly record reviewer at the Fargo Forum newspaper right out of college, and I became a fan of him at that time. Its been cool watching his career skyrocket.

Album Rating: 4.0

lets just leave it at both popular and unpopular bands feeling some consequential judgement due to their state of popularity.

Album Rating: 3.5

in the end i think it has nothing to do with fairness at all. the moral of the story is don't be an

idiot and if something interests you, listen to it. if you like something enjoy it! popular,

unpopular, fair, bear, judgement, shmudgement



my strategy relies on my ears first, then things that pique my mental interest like trumpets and

glockenspiel and piano or post-rock or interesting album art or notes or reviews, and sometimes i push

it with extended plays if someone or a publication whose taste i like recommended or likes it
