I walk down the staircase
Magnetic pull
Back to the other place
That I cannot go
I'm sending a chopper
To steal you away
The pot is full
Let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full
Of secrets to be told
Secrets to be told
Out of orbit
And I always will
The pot is full
Let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full
Of secrets to be told
Secrets to be told

Yes - Definitely... there is a recurring riff lifted exactly from an early Genesis song. It is so obvious that I came here specifically looking to see if I was the only one who noticed. I am not a big listener of RH, I like some of what I hear and also find a lot of it unoriginal and milking tired themes. I AM a very big fan of early Genesis however and this goes way beyond "inspiration". They have expanded the range and length of the riff but t is a note for note copy of Mike Rutherford's original. |

I've enjoyed most of their stranger-sounding tunes from Kid A and Amnesiac. Loved Hail to the Thief, and I think In Rainbows is their best album so far. I am not liking their new sound though, with the repetitive drumming and baselines. Thom Yorke's melodies are there, but doesn't Phil, the drummer, get bored? I think they've figured out some kick-butt techno beats with real-life drummers. And the more you listen to TKOL, the more it grows on you. Well, did for me, anyway. Just saw them on this tour, and they brought along the drummer from Portishead to help round-out all that percussion. And the first song they played had all of them beating on drums! All of Seattle's Key Arena were on their feet dancing for the whole show! And I would say that if you listen to the catalogue in order, the sound just keeps evolving. Certainly one of the most original bands we have the pleasure of listening to today! |

The engineer in me thinks it could be an interesting challenge to implement. The music fan in me however insists that I should keep trying to 'get' radiohead (and a couple of others) as there is clearly something there that many people clearly like. |

I've always thought that the band itself is highly innovative and inventive, and very together, it's been yer man Yorke's warbling and lyrics that got on my tits, but slowly, slowly RP is wearing me down. Resistance is useless... With or without Yorke's vocals Radiohead is a great band. I've had the same problems as Fred with Yorke—too often the falsetto crosses the line between effective and just plain whiny. Thankfully, his lyrics have matured. The thing is that you can't separate the singer—and 3rd guitarist—from the band. So, I have reluctantly accepted Yorke—I know gracious of me, eh?—but not without some latent resistance. |

Apparently he was removed from the hotel for trashing the room and annoying other customers. A search on the forums will reveal the sorry end of Mr Tuma. Personally, I am more than relieved he has gone. He got on my tits more than I care to admit. . . |

| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Nov 13, 2012 - 19:23 A good tune - however not in my view one of their finest. Then again not even these clever chaps from Abingdon can be expected to always hit the intensity/quality bullseye ALL the time. Or can they? Colossal band - I hope I get to see them one day. They don't play in New Zealand very often though... Oh well  I'll have to make do with Moussaka for now. |

| stunix (Narrowboat nr Caen Locks) | Posted: Nov 06, 2012 - 07:44 I used to think RH was a sine wave of quality, totally hit and miss, 20 years on, the best have receded and the poor have risen. I just like RH I guess. This track is spot on. |
