Dat heb ik bij dit album ook. Eigenlijk heb ik dat bij veel 'minimale', gedetailleerde muziek (het album van Nicolaas Jaar bijvoorbeeld).
Wat ik ook interessant aan het stuk vond was dit:
quote:
The funny part is that they basically trained the world into this, by spending their career moving in the opposite direction from most of their peers. Most bands like this start off as something marginal, then grow into popularity. Radiohead kicked off by proving they were a good big rock band then started pulling their many fans, some of them kicking and screaming, off into new places. They taught people how to enjoy that. They made music good enough to satisfy their left-field music-geek peers and their everyday fans at the same time. Their main emotional register which sits somewhere between abject world-weariness and a kind of itching, wriggling-in-your-skin discomfort has turned out to be more relatable, to more people, than anyone would have guessed. And their election as the arty rock group of consensus means we get to watch something really rare and amazing: A band that can do whatever it wants, and do it really well, and have it matter on a big scale. Maybe it's a little arbitrary that this band is Radiohead, who are far from the only musicians doing things that are high-minded or sonically inventive but it's a very cool thing to have one act like this be "big."
Dat is onder andere toch het bijzondere van Radiohead.
