Radiohead got hacked... hacker asked for ransom... Radiohead releasing tunes instead
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
Start with Pablo Honey and go through every record and have it blow your fucking mind.
It's worth it for me as well. But i just want people to have a realistic imagine of what to expect. Few hours seems like a lot to me but haven't listened to everything.
I'd start with either Kid A or ok computer. Pablo honey is their first album if you want to go chronologically.
Edit : I feel like there isn't a wrong place to start tbh.
I didn't start listening to them until the last few years, you're in for a fun ride!
My joke failed miserably, I was making fun of the people saying this was a marketing stunt :(
Pablo Honey is really the only total miss in their catalog, imo. Everything's uphill from there.
If people want an idea of what's on these discs... here's the Google Doc that's being updated and has basically a "what to listen to" on each disc... it's gonna be a little different since they removed the copyrighted stuff from the leak but no actual songs/demos were removed
Also to people going "OH THIS IS TOTALLY A MARKETING GIMMICK": Fuck you. It was reported multiple times that someone stole this stuff and got it from a USB at XL recordings during the OKNOTOK prep session and since they already had the music they decided to release it themselves.

Pablo Honey is not a great album but it has a fantastic closer with "Blow Out"
I should probably go back and listen to it again. The Bends is so goddamn good it's more comforting just to pretend that it's their actual debut.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Although, I still put it in rotation quite often.
Someone mentioned that the early full band version of "True Love Waits" on disc 1 sounds like "Come To Me" by Bjork and... holy shit
ahhh, i can't wait to listen to this when i get home
i used to frequent Follow Me Around when i was 15 - 19 and read about the changes in songs/unreleased songs and imagine what they would sound like.
Yep, the hall of famer extremely famous band came up with a crazy story of selling old weird leaked unlabeled demos for charity because of uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh marketing?
Haha my "internet handle" airbagged is basically what I came up with when I was joining the AtEase message board in the early 2000s and figured.. "Hey I like the song "Airbag" so..."
ahh that makes sense, I was wondering why none of the Bond stuff was printed on the tracklist for whichever disc that was.
Yes, this situation they are in no way profiting from was truly a masterful work of deception.
18 hours of demos from my favorite band from one of their greatest eras... All proceeds going to charity... Insta-buy. I'm only 20 minutes in and this is already worth the price of admission. Kind of unbelievable to be listening to this right now, actually.
Funny they did exactly what you mentioned in the other thread and just dropped it on Bandcamp all understated lol! And it's for charity. So classy.
So, there's some really cool stuff on here.
The Alternative Mix #3 of Lift is really nice and some of those versions of True Love Waits are pretty as all hell.
Then you have that early version of Last Flowers and it can get right in the bin.

You take that back!
It's really rough and dirty, but has an awesome chorus riff that's honestly a great loss. I was disappointed at first but I'm really into it now.
Also there are several of them, I need to figure out which one was the best one now. Listening to those leaks as single files has messed me up.
Definitely not the one with Thom just saying "Last Flowers Till Hospital" during the chorus.
This is the band who said "Pay what you want" for In Rainbows. This is the band he decided to blackmail?
It's not the best Radiohead album (that would be Amnesiac) but it's better than OK Computer.
Amnesiac!?
I'm calling Dana White right now, you and me are gonna fight in the octagon.
Amnesiac is preeeetty good though
What the hell? Why did this guy try to extort money from Radiohead? They are not going to cough up thousands of dollars just to prevent some old demos from getting out.
If he wanted to make money, shouldn't he just have been trying to sell this music to collectors?

Having spent a bit of time with the Radiohead "MiniDiscs [Hacked]" compilation, I think Radiohead have proven a few things:
1. We will literally buy anything they put out
2. It's good background into how songs evolve before they ever reach your ears in a finished form.
3. Drugs.
The 2nd point especially is important, pretty much everything on there is really rough versions of songs that span Radiohead's career, not just from OK Computer, that weren't finished until much later. Some of the evolutions are incredible and it's nice to hear them form.
At the end of the day, it's not a bad way to raise money for Extinction Rebellion, but with these discs it's obvious Radiohead have probably unlimited numbers of partial ideas of songa and unfinished concepts all over the show.
I am buzzing for the Kid A/Amensiac anniversary.
