I need an album with sloths

Album Rating: 3.5

They’re actually not close instrumentally you’re right I was perversely trying to emphasize the lyrics. They feel similar kinda…discographically or something but not in terms of basic timbres yeah

Pink Floyd and Radiohead were often compared from around 'OK Computer' onwards.

I agree that there isn't too much in common in the way they sound, but PF were an easy reference point (this album and 'The Wall' in particular) in describing the ostensibly English, middle-class, seething societal/existential rage felt amongst guys of a certain age. Add in both their musically progressive leanings, there is some commonality shared even if the comparison is a lazy one.

In this regard, possibly the listener's takeaways from completing a hearing of each band's angrier output aren't too dissimilar either.

^ The giveaways are Waters' angrier lyrics... there's a line from this, to 'The Wall', to 'The Final Cut' that has a guy get more and more fucked off, that wasn't there to such an extent on earlier records.

Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here is perfect as well, but I think I am almost always in the mood for Dogs, so this gets the nod.

Ok Computer was probably the perfect album to come out alongside the rise of Tony Blair and New Labour. The perfect cultural corrective to the swaths of naivete and warrantless optimism, and I wish we'd had something similar of equal quality to relate to during the Obama years.

^ Maaan, you went and called Tool "baby's first prog band" in another thread... why would all this need explaining?

Refer to points I made near the top of this page for the superficial comparison between the two bands, then take into account how both made albums DIRECTLY affected by the times and (the specifically British) societies they were in, in each of their respective eras.

Parallels.
