cool! should be noted that dead man's not a spaghetti western though
just wanted to say something in support of my personal favorite radiohead song, "life in a glass house," which i think stands out in their catalog as a classic radiohead song--hauntingly beautiful, paranoid, and veyr catchy--but its use of a brass section sets it apart from most of radiohead's work. anyway, i thought it at least deserved a mention in the 'amnesiac' section of the article so i thought i'd say something
I grew up a huge Death Cab fan--their album Plans got me interested in alternative music as a twelve-year-old and they stayed my favorite band for three years--I feel that now I have grown "past" their music as my taste has developed--but nevertheless I can find a whole lot of value in their first four albums, as well as to some extent Plans and definitely the Postal Service album. But everything after Plans has really really suffered for me because frankly the production has turned adult-contemporary, the melodies and chord progressions are boring, and the lyrics are still obtuse but they lack the power they once had. I still respect Gibbard for the first albums, and I think he's got a terrific voice, but with every release I hear I lose a little more interest and respect for him and the band.
