    Match-Cut Band Consensus - Radiohead

    The Rules of the Game:

    How to post selections:

    - Assign a rating to each album based on a scale of 1-10
    - Half points may be used
    - It is not necessary to rank the albums. Instead, please post all lists in chronological order, starting with the earliest album.

    For an album to be eligible for the band's overall rating, it must have at least four (4) votes. Otherwise, there isn't a sufficient amount of votes to make the rating as objective or effective as an album that has received twenty (20) votes. If an album is mentioned only once or twice, I will still post that album's average (quite easy if only mentioned once) but I will separate it from the albums that factor into the band's overall rating.

    Obviously this is essentially copied from the directors consensus and this is sorta a trial run to see if there is any interest in continuing to do this. I chose Radiohead since I'm fairly certain most everyone here has heard at least one of their albums. I'll probably do a couple of these if it turns out well and then if it turns out really well maybe doing a weekly thing which has been done in the past in other sub-forums might end up happening. Who knows?

    As for time frame I'll keep this open for say 2 weeks or so and see how many voters we get in here.

    As for the albums. The main ones are obviously up for contention and I would suppose in certain circumstances Live recordings are up for grabs if they're officially released (no bootlegs). EPs I'd say are fair game but Singles are not and no compilations. Here is a list of official albums as well as year they came out.

    The Bends, though. Holy shit. One of the best sophomore albums of all time. They took the sure-to-be-one-hit-wonder status and kicked it squarely in the ass. I saw them like 5 times on The Bends tour, even had dinner with them. Just a great time all around.

    Thirdmango, this is a fantastic idea! Thanks for posting it.

    Pablo Honey - 4.0
    The Bends - 9.0
    OK Computer - 9.5
    Kid A - 9.0
    Amnesiac - 7.5
    Hail to the Thief - 8.5
    In Rainbows - 9.5
    The King of Limbs - 8.5

    Agree with The Bends love. Always been unfairly written off, in my opinion.

    I'm summoning forth my teenage self for most of these ratings, but:

    The Bends - 9
    OK Computer - 9
    Kid A - 8
    Amnesiac - 7
    Hail to the Thief - 7
    In Rainbows - 5

    The Bends is great, of course, but I always thought that was the consensus. Just is still one of my favorite Radiohead tracks, and the video is great, too. One of my most vivid memories of 90's music was seeing that video for the first time on MuchMusic. I'm not even sure if I had heard of Radiohead before that.

    I listened to The King of Limbs once upon its release and I don't remember anything about it.
    Giving up in 2020. Who cares.

    Without Remorse (Stefano Sollima) *½
    The Marksman (Robert Lorenz) **

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Surprised to see Hail to the Thief ranked above In Rainbows. The Bends ranked ahead Kid A is a travesty.
