Radiohead has been going this direction for years now and I have to say, its amazing for a group to have such diversity and range both acoustically and electronically. Makes me respect them more.
@obar111 I know and I agree. I am a big fan of Radiohead's electronic work. My criticism is only towards this song..the actual sound of the synth is horrible, at least in my opinion. It sound to me like the sound a cheap plastic synth would make, probably sampled by a terrible rapper. Apart from that, great song
the detailed drifting motion of this, loops in and out of moments of my days and i don't want to shake it. i am getting new dimensions of this track each time
@westofthetracks You've got a great point, and for this album I wish they would have switched producers. But honestly, they I have to place a majority of blame on the band in this instance. They knew they were aiming for a more natural, percussion driven sounding album. Sounding nothing like any of their previous albums. Couldn't they assume the obvious here? hoping they release a nicely mixed live cd of King of Limbs... I'd buy it.. wont happen though... regardless...
This song is one of my favs. Listening to this song makes me happy, then melancholy, then happy again. I'm either manic-depressive or the song is amazing.
The video was copied from the original "Basement" series of songs and that's why it appears as mirror image, but if you watch original video, then you'll see the obvious details.
@Eyzuky Haha nope. I'm pretty sure all Radiohead fans can listen to their songs an infinite amount of times. I've literally already listened to this over 100 times.
I believe this and the Daily Mail (along with the Butcher and Supercollider) were all written after the album was released were they not? At least Butcher and Supercollider correct?
Wouldn't it be brilliant if there is other album with Staircase and The Daily Mail on it (and maybe Butcher and Supercollider).. All the music that has been recorded/released/unfurled this year is so illusory and cryptic and so is the band. Its like there is something that's behind the curtain and I am getting more and more inquisitive to find out what it is..
@williamhedgewitch I think they'll do something like Amnesiac, where they release an album with all of the songs that they didn't put on KOL. Also, don't forget These Are My Twisted Words.
Love. it it's a mistake is not included. I would like to know why. Musically speaking is not as risky as other songs in the album but Lotus Flower isn't either and it is on the album.They should have included it...:(
@two2four4hello I know! I'm actually kind of pissed it's not on the album. I hate how artists continue to leave great b-sides, etc. off their albums. We're paying for their music, give us more. I can't stay mad at Radiohead for long :)
@two2four4hello It will be in the next to soon come album, they announced its name but I am lazy to look up again, and the album is really soon this time
@two2four4hello Would have been one of the best on the album had it been there, but you have to admit: the sound is quite different from what they constructed on the album.
@two2four4hello Google -> Wikipedia: "In an interview for BBC 6Music, O'Brien explained that "Staircase" was worked on before the recording of The King of Limbs, but never got beyond the demo stages until after the album's release."

it's a mistake to believe that the seventh day god had created radiohead, because he tried and failed miserably.
Radiohead is something beyond "godlike".
