My Top 25 Albums: #23 [NVGR]
dregs | 5:06 PM on 05.11.2009 11 comments


The List So Far
#25: You're A Woman I'm A Machine - Death From Above 1979
#24: The Hunters Lullaby - Raine Maida

Album: Hail To The Thief
Artist: Radiohead

Favorite Tracks: A Wolf At The Door, Myxomatosis, Go To Sleep

I'm gonna warn everyone now. I love Radiohead. This won't be the only cd on the list.
In fact, it's no where near one of my favorite Radiohead cds, but it is still so good that it is one of my favorite cds.

The tracks all have a nice blend of Guitar and Synth.
Something different for what Radiohead usually does. You have cds like The Bends which focus on guitar or a cd like Kid A which focuses on experimenting and electronic sounds.
This cd is a little bit of column A a little bit of column B.

The songs are all very different, ranging from a song like "2+2=5" in which the guitar seems predominate towards the end. To songs like "The Gloaming" which is really cool sounding effects.

The whole cd while you are listening to it pretty much screams out, "LOOK AT ME, I'M DIFFERENT" a great feature most cds or even bands for that matter go after.

The lyrics even at times can feel disturbing while you listen to them, almost as if Thom Yorke (singer. case' ya didn't know) is trying to test your ablility to love this music. Only those willing to find something great will get it. Everyone else will get someone who sounds whiny with some crazy sounds.

If you have never listened to Radiohead, I don't know if this is the place to start. It's more accsessable then albums like Kid A and Amnesiac. But new fans maybe able to get into The Bends or Ok Computer easier. But I still hope some people will become curious enough to give this cd a listen.

Really didnt like the vocals but the actual music was good. Not something I would listen to but something I would be neutral on.

Whats up with all the "Top 25 / Top 20 list of things I like" where only one gets posted every day? I mean, it's cool that your listing your favorite music, but dragging it out for 25 days man? I mean, this is a gaming blog. At least do like five a day.

But either way, I like your taste in music so far.

I'm with Caffeine Knight, it's like when those shit gaming news sites split their one page story into 10 pages to get you to see more ads.

I'm not going to comment on the other 7 or so you're posting in this series, but HTTT is an amazing album.

I saw Radiohead songs and misread your name as dredg and thought to myself, these are my two favorite bands, I need to befriend this dude. haha.

So I'm just curious, is your name derivative of the band dredg?

Also, I've never heard of the first two CDs in your list, but I loved HTTT so if you throw some more CDs I like, I might have to go back and give the others a listen.

While NVGR, I approve this blog. =)

I don't really understand Radiohead. I always feel like there's something I'm missing when I hear people rave about them.

I really loved "Hail to the Thief" and I usually don't like Radiohead. I suppose that I just like experimentation.
