The best of "Hail to the thief"

before i truly knew who pink floyd was i could tell when i was hearing them even if it was a song i had nvr heard before, simply cuz their voice is modified in half their work to sound a certain way, EVEN when they had different ppl singing i could identify them as FLOYD cuz their voice would sound a certain way...almost like hearing a certain instrument uncomparable to the rest. i DOUBT using ur voice as an "instrument" is a Radiohead creation...i think it's a rather COMMON idea...

@imissthelikebutton Ahhhh "Like Spinning Plates" on piano is absolutely gorgeous.

[imissthelikebutton]

@Jimhupponeword Yeah, experimentation with the voice as an instrument is especially evident on the first three tracks of Kid A. I think it's done well, but understandably, some prefer to hear Thom's voice unprocessed and unmuddied, to whom I recommend checking out their more energetic live performances. I especially like "In Limbo", where Jonny adds some cool guitar licks and Phil's drumming makes the coda even more awesome. The piano rendition of "Like Spinning Plates" is great, too.

@imissthelikebutton I'd have to agree with everything you said. As well I'd like to mention that I remember reading somewhere that Thom's sometimes odd singing on Kid A and Amnesiac is a result of an idea he was exploring on those albums; the voice as an instrument, not just a means of communicating lyrics. Optimistic, Morning Bell, Knives Out, I Might Be Wrong, You and Whose Army?, and Motion Picture Soundtrack are some of my favorite Radiohead songs; both albums are beautiful.

@Thanksandy You hear him plenty on those albums. Optimistic is as straightforward as anything on OKC or The Bends. How to Disappear Completely, I Might Be Wrong, Whose Army?, Glass House start slow but climax beautifully. Then there's Knives Out, Pyramid Song, Dollars&Cents, Idioteque, Right Place, Morning Bell, Motion Picture...unconventional, but definitely not mumbling. Inasmuch as there is mumbling, there's just as much on HTTT, and it's damn good mumbling. Maybe you had shit speakers.

[Thanksandy]

@Jimhupponeword well you are right there, it is my loss... of the will to live after listening to some of that stuff:) Each to their own, but I do own all their other albums apart from those two, I consider myself a fan, but of their heavier/indie rock/straight forward music or the songs you hear Thom Yorke actually SINGING rather than mumbling in i.e. Karma Police, The Tourist, Street Spirit...classics
