Yeah, I've heard that a long time ago, it's pretty amazing, if it's actually planned.
I've never got to try it though. I mean, not with the crossfade.

You see the 10 on the last line? It was all very very planned

You know at the end of airbag there's those 5 beeps for no reason? They fit in time with the 5/4 beat of 15 step. It's ruddy genius. Do it with the cross fade.

I haven't listened to them enough to make a judgement on their quality but I know that their fans are fucking annoying.

How do I do that though?

Media player and iTunes can crossfade in the settings. I don't know exactly how on iTunes but on media player you just go to

It's just two albums in numerical order. It fits seamlessly like one super-album or, and some tracks even blend like one song. Coldplay never did shit like that. Fuck you Coldplay.

Alright done, thanks.
Is it normal to cream oneselve's pants while doing this?

What the fuck it flows seamlessly this is incredible.

I told you man

I think Pink Floyd is better, a lot of people compare them to Pink Floyd, so I tried listening to OK computer, it was kind of "eh".

They sound like constipated women being simultaneously recorded trying to take a shit.

I never got the fuss about them.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. I, however, think Kid A and OK Computer are both fantastic. Amnesiac is also quite good.

In Rainbows was their only good album.

Thom Yorke's better off solo; The Eraser was pretty good.

The song titles don't make any sense, the lyrics don't make any sense, the album covers don't make any sense, it's all a load of pseudo-intellectual hipster bullshit. Listening to their "experimental" albums like Kid A and The King of Limbs makes me want to rip out my eyeballs due to the sheer pretension and general shittiness.

That's good of you to make no attempt to understand something that isn't spoon-fed to you

how rewarded you must feel

Start with something more accessible before jumping into the "best stuff."

In Rainbows, for example. Great place to start, and great album.

How many times did you listen to said albums and what sort of mindset were you in? These are very important factors when trying to get into an artist. You should always give something you didn't like at first multiple tries, especially with music. You should also keep an open mind when trying new things instead of looking at it with a judging manner, thinking critically with these things kinda ruins your ability to enjoy it.

Also, writing things off as "boring" "nonsensical" and "hipster" are strong signals that you have no idea what you're talking about. I would try to stay away from adjectives like that if you're trying to make an argument.

It's like your watching a foreign film and refusing to read the subtitles out of some pride of ignorance, that's what it is. Of course you'll sit through it, hating it and not getting it, if you aren't up to it.

We aren't saying you have to like them, I don't even like them that much myself. We're just saying that the reasons you gave for disliking them were really stupid.

Regardless of Radiohead discussion you are handling arguing with three vehement fans on the subject of music with incredible patience and zen. You've got a lot of my respect for not totally Xenomitting everywhere in a fit. I feel things have been cleared up here.

THAT'S RIGHT EVERYONE IT'S A NGBBS FIRST

I guess the main reason is that I can't understand them. They have like 8 albums and although I have listened to most of them I have no idea what any of it means or the message being conveyed, if there is any.

In summary: I don't like the instruments or the music itself. I don't like Thom Yorke's whiny voice. I don't like the lyrics because I don't understand them.

Are those reasons sufficient?

I can totally understand a dislike to Thom Yorke's voice but the instrumentals are some of the tightest music has ever offered up. Rarely does a band work in such good harmony. It's music for musicians, though. It's not Andy Warhol, it's Picasso.
