Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Anybody? It's actually pretty good... sounds a lot like the Kid A/Amnesiac era (which is fine by me).

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Thanks for the info;)
Radiohead are one of the best groups ever!

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Got it and love it, its a bit more electronic then Kid A era but i can see why its constantly used in reviews. Id get it!

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Had a listen to it (cheers eike) and I think the same. Very Amnesiac. Really liking it.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

I'm rather ho-hum. I usually revel in recycled sound, but I haven't longed to hear this one again after two good sit down listens.

Maybe it'll grow on me, but if it doesn't I have next year to look forward to.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

yea - I kinda dug this stuff...

I'd definitely wager that if your favorite parts of "Meeting People is Easy" (radiohead's documentary) were the bits with like, Thom sitting outdoors twiddling dials, or alone in the studio - then you'd really like the album

I will say, however - is that all the tracks kinda meld together. Like, every time I listen to just individual tracks, I'm very ho-hum about it, but like - putting it on in the background while doing work = great album

the only individual tracks that I really like are the two that 'bookend' the album

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Def an "album" album then a singles album.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

i like it a lot. it's not re-inventing the wheel, but it creates a certain mood that only yorke seems to be capable of.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

I'm not a huge Radiohead fan...but i REALLY like what I've heard so far...
'And it rained all night', 'atoms for peace', and 'black swan' are very emotion-evoking songs.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

in case you havent seen the video for harrowdown hill yet, you can watch it on ut00b:

pretty amazing, works very well with the song (and the context of the song) IMO

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Thom Yorke's always been an acquired taste, even when Radiohead sticks to more traditional rock songs. But i think i like his voice best when it's surrounded by electronic noices...it's got a human vulnerability to it, whining or not, that's refreshing.

i haven't heard this yet, but comparisons to "Amnesiac" or "Kid A" are good, imho.

holden

p.s. Thom Yorke spinning nobs on the documentary reminded me: for a while, i thought Johnny Greenwood had the best job in the biz after i saw a performance when he was 'playing' the effects pedals! And then i discovered that UW does the tweaking better every time!:p

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

UW can't hold a candle to Radiohead tho

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Eikman, that wasn't necessary.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

can you explain yourself please? :)

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Just kidding 'bout you dissing(I think that's the first time I've ever used that term, am I cool now?) our boys.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Fact of life: if you ask, "Am I cool now?" the answer automatically becomes, "No."

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

That's music to one's ears who's flaming on fire hot.:p

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

jesus what's that smell? ...no wait. it's your statement.

it's bullshit.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

**giggles**

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Emerson was the heart and soul of Underworld. Without him they're nothing. It's like the Doors without Morrison.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

whooooooooa

...


those, my friend

are most certainly fighting words.


all I'm going to say is check out the only track he's partially credited for on dubno... (the answer is Surfboy. yea. Surfboy)

possibly the worst song they've ever released. ever.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

goddamn, this is getting ugly. I like Surfboy.

I laughed harder at adam's quote here than Sarcasmo's over in the world forum. Thank you for the laugh adam.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

hahahahahaha.

i read in another forum about how the new junior boys was awful, that they're stuck in 1989, and that they wont be remembered a few years from now.

now i read a straight faced simile that includes darren emerson and morrison

i thought the millions of stupid assholes march was suspended uintil september but it seems to have leaked all over the internet.
YSI?

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

/me giggles even more

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Surfboy is actually pretty good.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

amen to that. adam 4tw

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Alright, but let's not forget about all the shit material Underworld put out before Dubno! And the shit album that was A Hundred Days Off (after he left).

Emerson didn't need to be credited, his influence was unmistakable.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

name 1 solo emerson song as good as Two Months Off, Leutin, Twist, Peggy Sussed...

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

i could name 10 of emerson, lake & palmer!

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

It's not a comparison test.

The point is that he was part of the dynamic of the Underworld that the vast majority fell in love with, and that they are basically shit without him.

Emerson brought a whole other side to the group that most likely probably would have never had happen be it he had not come along and shared his underground influence.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Are you serious? "Basically shit without him"? You're posting in the wrong forums, mate!


i'll agree that Emerson pushed the boys into a more underground dance arena and promoted their development by playing out some tunes, but the dynamic of Underworld has always been Rick and Karl. 80's-90's and today.

Meanwhile, Thom Yorke wants our love! He's like, "Whahappened? I'm like a rat in a cage grooving with a crushed pict! Looove meee!":p

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

what, lemon interupt?

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

i am enthralled by the direction this thread has taken.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

I like the eraser;)

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

some people really shouldnt believe all that they read

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

I got three words, Pizza For Eggs.

Fuckin' horseshit.

The only reason I come back to this site is for the Headset board. Could give a fuck less about Underworld.

Re: Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

The video for Harrowdown Hill is awesome, as is the song (is it me or does it kinda sound like 'the Gloaming' in the beginning?) btw i'm never buying from itunes again, their format is in m4p and I can't believe they're doing the same crap as windows media player (protected files only meant for their media players).

So far I really like what i'm hearing. Looking forward to future music videos.
