i actually kind of like desert island disk
not one of the best but its nice, dont know why people pick it out as one of the worst
|

its more memorable than any of the last 3 songs the way they are smashed together

i haven't listened to the original track listing since like the day after this came out otherwise i'm pretty sure i wouldn't appreciate numbers, present tense or tinker tailor half as much as i do now

glass eyes is cool. I have no real gripes with the songs 2-8 (identikit isn't amazing but ohterwise). but burn the witch is bleeh. and after "the numbers" the album kinda fizzles out

Tinker Tailor is my favorite, but I will agree that it's very poorly placed on the track-listing. Then again so are most of the songs on here.

I still hold to my belief that if these songs all had different names and thus were not in alphabetical order people would not be harping on the tracklisting so much.

Nah it would still be noticeable from track one and how little it fits in to anything on this record. For me at least.

Daydreaming really should be in the second half, like that's a no brainer. Decks Dark and Desert Island Disk need to be together no matter what. No idea where Burn the Witch would be.

Sure Burn the Witch seems out of place stylistically but other than that I really don't understand what everyone's issue is. In fact the only place it makes sense is as an opener so they certainly got that right. I wouldn't say the album is particularly well sequenced but I also don't hear any glaring issues in it.

Kid A is easily the best sequenced Radiohead album though, I adore In Rainbows but its sequencing has never felt particularly amazing to me tbh.

"It clearly appears in songs like Daydreaming, Decks Dark, and True Love Waits lyrically. My problem is the album is so random in it's construction, and adding to the fact that many of the old songs weren't restructured around this concept(excluding True Love Waits ofc), it makes the album just feel kind of like lost potential."
I agree with this completely, the inconsistencies of the record in a lot of ways drags it down. Like, it sounds super pretty and emotional but it just doesn't feel that way to me at all. And I can't place why it feels so hollow.

@ALA, I believe the band have stated that none of their albums are intentionally concept albums, though I agree several of them come across like they are. As for the songs you mention, yeah Treefingers is not much of a standalone track but I think it works perfectly as a breather in the middle of the album, but Motion Picture and Morning Bell are incredible (just my opinion of course).

I guess, its been a while since ive heard this record but I think its absent of a lot of those "OH DAMN" moments I can recall from a lot of other albums and songs I havent heard in well over years.

I think Thom was trying hard to avoid making this album so overwhelmingly ridden with the theme of loss and mourning that it ruined some cohesion thematically. I mean, its obvious he was hit hard considering True Love Waits is on here, but still.
