Immerse Your Soul In Love - The Radiohead Thread

[MikeH]

omg

So yesterday i went out and bought the standard XL 2 LP 12" UK copy of Kid A from the 21/22 repress. The same one I could have bought five years ago before I went down every hole trying to find a good copy of this damn album. I figured what the fuck why not, even though every cogs review cites noise and all sorts of issues, Treefingers pops etc. Especially with the recent repress.

You guys it's perfect. Like PERFECT perfect. It sounds great, huge stage. I'm sure the OG beats it but it's better than the Capitol 10" I have and also the shitty effed up OG I bought that was supposed to be "spectacular".
I could have done this five years ago.
I COULD HAVE DONE THIS FIVE YEARS AGO

the shop I got the 10" from also had a 2xLP for the same price but I got the 10" instead...

Yeah but the main reason it sounds better than my ten is that my ten has pops. It's all luck really... The actual audio is pretty similar, I wouldn't sweat that.

I’ll have to try this next. I finally sent back the Scarry book today, along with two regular Kid Amnesias to Amazon.

I definitely didn’t pay that much for it

I thought I was safe with my replacement Kid A as the distortion on HTDC was 90% gone. Then I got to Motion Picture Soundtrack...ug

Looks like the click track from “Videotape” ended up on the wrong record

Nice cover…

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

yeah, straight up disagree

she oversings that to high heaven

 

[zdkaiser]

I just can't listen to that cover. It'll ruin that song for me, and it's one that is too near and dear to me to lose.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

LOL! Wow! didn’t think Kelly Clarkson would touch such a nerve. Ah well, I thought it was good and the idea of this performance being the introduction to Radiohead for least a few The Kelly Clarkson Show fans made me smile.

It's OK. It is definitely bombastic in a showy way. Thom really belts it out too but it becomes sort of desperate. Her version doesn't have that tenor, it made me think of James bond themes in a way. For sure some fan will check out radiohead through it though

I think of oversinging as shouting or sing beyond what your vocal range allows and I don’t think she did either. She went big but she was in control throughout.

Yeah, I still much prefer Radiohead’s version. I just thought this version was good and a different take on the track. The Bond theme is a great comparison. I think she would be excellent with something like that.

That particular Radiohead song is a powerful one, originating from what is essentially a concept album, that has its own unique vibe. Bleak, foreboding, fearful, and for Clarkson to try to turn it into some pop hit on prime time TV will certainly just drain the entire substance from the song for me.
