Interesting! I've never approached it from that perspective and I can see your point. I think I'd cut some songs near the end that are just out of place enough that the record starts sounding like a long odds-and-sods comp: "I Will,""Punch Up", "Wolf at the Door." And I love those songs, the last two being personal favorites, but they could be B-sides (or in the case of "Punch Up", a nice fit on "In Rainbows"). After that I'd maybe delegate "Go To Sleep" to B-side status as well, to get it all down to a more focused and cohesive 42 minutes. Oh, listen to it on vinyl? Interesting!

I believe that the second half of TKOL is simply amazing, and the album is far superior to both Pablo Honey (although yes, Creep is amazing) and Hail to the Theif. This album has been reviewed (often negatively) by Radiohead's high standards, and although this is unavoidable TKOL needs to be considered both as a Radiohead album AND as a regular 2011 album. They shouldn't be criticised for failing to produce another album of Kid A's calibre when no other band around could anyway.

Why is it so hard for Radiohead fans to grasp the notion that many albums are under 40 minutes, and that many albums have 8 songs or fewer?

For the most part I am in favor of albums that come in around 38-45 minutes.

If Radiohead had cut some chaff from “Hail to the Thief” and got it down to under 40 minutes, it might be considered their best album (or at least on par with their best work).

Seriously, even if Radiohead puts out another new album next Friday, this is still an album in its own right! They have said and done nothing to the contrary. Why is it so hard for Radiohead fans to grasp the notion that many albums are under 40 minutes, and that many albums have 8 songs or fewer? I mean, are you trying to say that Led Zepellin IV isn't an album because it has 8 songs and came out under a year after Led Zeppelin III?

I believe that the second half of TKOL is simply amazing, and the album is far superior to both Pablo Honey (although yes, Creep is amazing) and Hail to the Theif. This album has been reviewed (often negatively) by Radiohead's high standards, and although this is unavoidable TKOL needs to be considered both as a Radiohead album AND as a regular 2011 album. They shouldn't be criticised for failing to produce another album of Kid A's calibre when no other band around could anyway.

Interesting! I've never approached it from that perspective and I can see your point. I think I'd cut some songs near the end that are just out of place enough that the record starts sounding like a long odds-and-sods comp: "I Will,""Punch Up", "Wolf at the Door." And I love those songs, the last two being personal favorites, but they could be B-sides (or in the case of "Punch Up", a nice fit on "In Rainbows"). After that I'd maybe delegate "Go To Sleep" to B-side status as well, to get it all down to a more focused and cohesive 42 minutes. Oh, listen to it on vinyl? Interesting!

Seriously, even if Radiohead puts out another new album next Friday, this is still an album in its own right! They have said and done nothing to the contrary. Why is it so hard for Radiohead fans to grasp the notion that many albums are under 40 minutes, and that many albums have 8 songs or fewer? I mean, are you trying to say that Led Zepellin IV isn't an album because it has 8 songs and came out under a year after Led Zeppelin III?

I believe that the second half of TKOL is simply amazing, and the album is far superior to both Pablo Honey (although yes, Creep is amazing) and Hail to the Theif. This album has been reviewed (often negatively) by Radiohead's high standards, and although this is unavoidable TKOL needs to be considered both as a Radiohead album AND as a regular 2011 album. They shouldn't be criticised for failing to produce another album of Kid A's calibre when no other band around could anyway. Although I thoroughly enjoyed this album, I wonder just how much longer Radiohead should (or even could) keep producing albums. My jaw dropped when I read that second line.

Interesting! I've never approached it from that perspective and I can see your point. I think I'd cut some songs near the end that are just out of place enough that the record starts sounding like a long odds-and-sods comp: "I Will,""Punch Up", "Wolf at the Door." And I love those songs, the last two being personal favorites, but they could be B-sides (or in the case of "Punch Up", a nice fit on "In Rainbows"). After that I'd maybe delegate "Go To Sleep" to B-side status as well, to get it all down to a more focused and cohesive 42 minutes. Oh, listen to it on vinyl? Interesting!

I think Hail is a pretty strong album and works very well as an album split over four sides. The only song I can imagine cutting is "I Will." Ahhh, but what would you cut?

If Radiohead had cut some chaff from "Hail to the Thief" and got it down to under 40 minutes, it might be considered their best album (or at least on par with their best work).
