eMusic failed to give me my downloads of this. Download error. Now if I want this or the other album i just purchased i am supposed to :"re-purchase" it. FUCK EMUSIC!! I am cancelling my membership and i'll just buy my shit from iTunes or download it from the torrents like everyone else. eMusic can suck my cock! Can't believe the audacity of these greedy pricks. I bought the music already. Making me pay to re-download something i already own is shit!
This is pure electric funk! Staircase is the better half of this package. I love the versatility of Radiohead. You just never know what you are going to get from them project to project. Keep it up fellas!
It's why I love 'em. Political, poetic, perilous.
What U2 would have been if most other music didn't suck in the 80's. And the grammy for most irrelevant band that convinces people otherwise goes to.....
Are people really saying Radiohead has been 'treading water' for ten years?? Radiohead is revered by fans and critics as modern music creators in a category all their own. For people to act with such shameless gusto against them is juvenile. Why don't you post some of your own music? You must make groundbreaking stuff.
Why wern't these songs on The King of Limbs? Their better than half the tracks on that album. The daily mail is not just some electronic garbage its an actual song. I recommend.
and are not beholden to any record label- that gives them room to expand- room that some folks on here wish they didn't have. I find it more interesting to listen to a challenging piece of music than the same song slightly modified. It takes time and effort to get into "King of Limbs" but it is well worth the effort. Artists grow and change we need to give them room. Otherwise they're just "creeps".
Sounds like it's time for some of these people to move on and let Radiohead go. WE GET IT!!!...You don't like this newer electro-filled material. You've whined about it for long enough, now it's time for you to leave. Go find a new band to latch onto. With that said...these 2 songs are great. They have a nice little eerie feel to them. You can comp them up with countless other Radiohead tunes, new and old, for some good mood music in the early evening.
more aimless canoodling from a once great rockband. the boys have forgotten one very important thing - the songs!
The Daily Mail, in particular, sounds more like something that could have been on Amnesiac or possibly even OK Computer. Staircase also uses more analog-sounding synth sounds that hearken back to Radiohead ca. 2000. All in all this is a much better release than the pair of fairly forgettable tracks they put out last summer. More adventurous-sounding than In Rainbows and no trace of the dubstep influence that informs TKOL (for better or worse).
There is every other music festival and then there is Coachella, the California-desert weekend that, in many ways, set the template for all that followed. The first U.S. festival to boast big-ticket reunions and all-over-the-map booking, Coachella continues to maintain its distinctive, idiosyncratic personality. Needless to say, navigating such a wide array of music can be tricky. We've picked 25 acts worth making time for. more »
Whether you're happily married or told Cupid to shove it a long time ago, we can all agree on one thing: to quote the one-and-only Nazareth, "Love hurts/ Love scars/ Love wounds/ And mars." Or something. That's why we went ahead and compiled a list of 36 Songs To Soothe the Pain, from the bloodletting confessionals of Neko Case, Bright Eyes and Sunny Day Real Estate to the melancholic melodies of Sigur Rós, the Shangri-Las… more »

May 23, 2011, was a small landmark for pop music. Lady Gaga had announced on New Year's Eve that her new album Born This Way would be released on that date, and the drumbeats heralding it kept building; it sold more than 1.1 million copies in its first week (partly thanks to massive discounting). It wasn't the biggest release date for any album ever, and it's not the last release date that will ever be… more »
With a sound as big as the sky and a lyrical approach as densely packed as any metropolis, Milagres, a Brooklyn five-piece freshly signed to Kill Rock Stars after a major personnel shake-up, doesn't need a compelling origin story for Glowing Mouth, its sophomore album. Still, as origin stories go, it's hard to beat Kyle Wilson's: "Our first album [2008's Seven Summits] was more of a calculated concept album, where I used mountaineering as a… more »

Radiohead notice how we're increasingly staring into unreality - on the computer, on cable news, and in movies - and it worries them. As wary soothsayers for the Internet age, the Oxford quintet have remained a vital rock act by stretching and morphing what it means to be a rock act while also teasing out the modern anxieties that connect us more than any smart phone could. They aren't just a bunch of uppity Luddites,… more »
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
There's really no debating that 2007 will be remembered, first and foremost, as the year Radiohead gleefully suicide-bombed those last stubborn fragments of the old music industry and swept the smoldering remnants into the new millennium. That story has already been told several thousand times over, though, so let's instead turn our attention to its polar opposite: Daptone Records, a tiny time-capsule studio and label in Brooklyn which channels the decades-gone glory days of R&B… more »
It started with a note of relief. Our computers had survived; we had made it. The clocks had passed midnight into the year 2000, not 1900, and all those tanks of propane and fresh water cached in the garage became souvenirs of an instantly-embarrassing paranoia. Perhaps the year 2000 was the last time many would regard a computer with suspicion. Fears of the machine-chaos that would ensue as computer clocks the world over tried in vain to… more »
