Surely they were better as On a Friday? Only liked their very very early stuff. Got to love hardcore Radiohead fans. Surely they were better as On a Friday? Only liked their very very early stuff.

OK Computer is overrated in the extreme. Thohm Yhorkhe can knob off. Radiohead’s albums have got progressively worse since their only good one, namely ‘The Bends’.

Music and the long player are an art form but before that it was simply song, one is not necessarily better than the other; Motown’s record of singles is testament to the majesty of the short form being as valid in music as the long. Once again Radiohead are simply just doing what they want to (which has always been the key to their greatness) a long play that is half assed is in no way grand and a EP sharp and precise with its direction and passion can be outstanding. Leave em alone, better them keep producing than feel like giving up because they don’t have the excitement about albums that they used to hmmmm

I realllly hope this is just Thom running off at the mouth. No more Radiohead albums???? Can't... cope... But really, the thought of a band as insanely talented as Radiohead dismissing the full-length album as essentially not being worth the effort is a bad sign... if it really is the case that they've given up on this form.

Thing is, EP's are still a lot of work. <a href="http://danielmiller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">I know</a>. It's a bit of a relief to be able to just release a few songs. A lot of the time, more would just muck up the thing anyway. Just because Radiohead says they might mess about with orchestral EP's instead of long-plays doesn't mean culture is over. Blogs and Twitter. Those have killed culture. ;) Good points.
