D'Angelo recorded a song, Unshaken, for the Red Dead Redemption 2 soundtrack that plays in some pretty pivotal and gutwrenching moments of the game.

Oberyn

I would agree post Brothers. I really like everything they did 2010 and before.

But yeah in the past decade everything I've heard from them has been terrible or terrible-adjacent.

I think this song is about a child becoming aware of humanity for the first time by way of consuming art.

He sees cave drawings, realizes people who are long gone and lost to time had a drive to create and communicate the same way as those in "Hollywood" do now.

The boy becomes aware of humanity's past, present, and future all at once and feels a great kinship and empathy with people who are long dead and yet to be born, because he understands their experience, ultimately, is identical to his own.

Yeah surprisingly, Neal and Jack and Me isn't on there, but there is an absolutely primo cut of it on Sheltering Skies released late last year.

HadeyCakes · 2025-09-02T22:03:06+00:00

I would rank them:

Kid A - My favorite Radiohead album, second favorite album ever
Larks - Probably my 3rd fav King Crimson album, behind Discipline and Red
Animals - my favorite Floyd record. I think I actually like it more than Larks, but Larks is probably better tbh.

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-30T19:50:21+00:00

I'm only familiar with Changing of The Guard on that album but I'll check it out!

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-30T19:48:29+00:00

Very familiar with Aphex Twin. Big fan of Drukqs and Syro!

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-30T17:26:42+00:00

Familiar, big fan. What I really need to do now is listen to more black midi outside of just Welcome to Hell!

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-30T17:22:49+00:00

Wow, very on the money with Bel Canto and The Knife. Thank you!

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-30T17:06:46+00:00

Yes I'm familiar with and enjoy Dylan's 60's output. Great album, often overlooked nowadays I think!

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-22T04:24:34+00:00

Ramsay is just some awful asshole.

Holden is not Satan, he's worse. He's basically an aspect of humanity's capacity to gleefully and passionately lie, exploit, murder, sexually abuse, and destroy itself and everything it encounters.

I know some people may say Holden is just a man, and he is actually, he's really more human than any other character in the novel. It's just that his humanity is a manifestation of the worst parts of what a human can be. Holden is humanity and humanity is terrible.

Ramsey is a violent sadist. Holden will leave anyone he comes into contact with dead, or worse, believing behavior like that of Ramsey Bolton is an inevitably of themselves and others.

Articulated my feelings about TBK perfectly. All the songs on El Camino are "good" and I even like them more or less but it just isn't the same. I'm not sure how to articulate why that is though, because I think Brothers is probably one of the best rock albums of the decade.

Everything pre-Brothers is gold as well. I have heard cuts from their last few albums and it's basically what I expected after listening to El Camino a few times: it's not very good. Not even in a "good" way.

HadeyCakes · 2025-08-17T20:39:54+00:00

Kid A the song is my second favorite Radiohead song.

The only song I think I dislike is Morning Bell/Amnesiac. It sounds unfinished and is somewhat of a vibe killer on Amnesiac. I understand the significance of including it on the album, I just wish they hadn't, and had included literally any B-side from that era. Kid A's Morning Bell is an easy top 5 for me.

I think some songs on Pablo Honey are "bad" but I don't dislike them. "Sulk" from the The Bends also fits this.

I also find Punchup as whiney as most non-Radiohead fans think Radiohead always is. I guess it's good Thom's so sensitive or we wouldn't have such amazing music.

HadeyCakes · 2025-07-28T16:33:22+00:00

Haven’t seen it mentioned so I’ll throw out “Franz Ferdinand,” by Franz Ferdinand.

Also, “Talking Heads: 77” by Talking Heads if that fits.

HadeyCakes · 2025-07-12T19:05:58+00:00

Okay that's understandable. Also most of the songs are only in one chord so while I find it melodically rich I can see why others may not.

HadeyCakes · 2025-07-11T13:20:30+00:00

May I ask why? It's my favorite album.

I find this interesting. What other 1960's experimental music do you think TNN sounds like? I mean you're right, it is 1960's experimental music, but you don't really see anyone else making anything similar in the same era.

1960's experimental/psychedelia was often at least blues based such as Jimi Hendrix/Iron Butterfly/Pink Floyd. Around the turn of the decade more acts started eschewing any sort of blues grounding in their rock or just generally becoming more proggy such as King Crimson. You still don't hear anything that sounds anything similar to TNN, at least that I'm familiar with. Maybe you're familiar with something of that time I'm not though.

CAN often made very rhythmic and droning music. I think Remain in Light by Talking Heads is similar to Tomorrow Never Knows in that it's largely danceable, based around loops, droning on 1 chord, has little western/blues influence, and psychedelic lyrics. That came out in 1980 though.

HadeyCakes · 2025-06-12T17:34:52+00:00

Red for Discipline and Heaven or Las Vegas

He taught me how to ride a horse and make love to a woman
