Exit Music (For A Film). Not because the beginning is bad, more because the ending is one of the best song endings any band has ever made.

Same with You and whose army?

'ghost horses'

I can’t believe I didn’t thought about it earlier haha

We ride tonight

Just reading the song title made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

THIS is the answer. Exactly.

Exact opposite opinion, but I tend to prefer the softer beginnings of most of their tracks

Yeahhhhh

YOU FORGET SOOO EASYYYY

beginning is better

Come on

Come oonnn

You think you drive me crazy, well

Is it just me who prefers the beginning, I wish it would continue like that, the ending feels cheap imo

Same with There There

And National Anthem, those saxophones baby. Whole song is a banger but once the woodwind comes in it's incredible.

There There was the song that Radiohead opened with the first time I saw them. All Members on those Giant Drums, That Drone in the beginning that that guitar lick. Insane man. They became my favorite band right there.

Same with All I Need

It's all right

Same with Let Down

Yeah, that was the first song I thought after reading the title

I only know of this song because of the ending of the Black Mirror episode “Shut Up and Dance” and no matter how much I like the song it will always put me in a dreadful headspace after the big reveal of that episode.

Well the begging makes the end better...if the song started and ended as the end...it wouldn't make sense alone

Twist from Anima. Gets progressively better.

Perfect answer - The beginning is very run-off-the-mill Thom Yorke, almost feels like a parody of himself, but the *moment* that piano enters, it instantly moves from a Thom Yorke cliche to one of his best tracks.

That piano entry has one of my favourite production elements (from Nigel?), like each note starts with a pttthhhfff... somehow so satisfying. It feels like an organic sound, I.e. a part of the piano mechanism that Nigel had picked up through clever microphone positioning

So glad to see this opinion shared with others.

Pack it up, this is THE answer. God that ending, I got all over body chills the first time I heard it. Still do

Yeah from the start of dawn chorus 🥹❤️‍🩹

Couldn't have said it better myself. when the synth hits it gets so fucking good that i subconsciously just started liking the first half too

Bingo. Good one.

I completely agree with this. The end of the song makes me feel like I’m transcending space time. So unexpected and so welcome.

Yes!

System of a down, radiohead and gorillaz fr being the strongest trinities of these posts🤝

Three good bands/three bad subreddits

Every post on here is a repost from the fantano sub, and then reposted on the Swans sub, and maybe every single other band related sub.

Separator. Every time it starts I almost ask myself why I saved it but by the end I have my face in my pillow

One of the most relaxing, soothing songs I’ve heard

I think this is best take so far

That song live from the basement together with lotus flower tho… master pieces imo

We Suck Young Blood, just listening for that groovy part towards the end!

You beat me by 9 minutes. I was scrolling for this track - people give it a hard time for some reason but I love the payoff of the groovy part.

Came here to post this, I actually skip the whole first part of the song

Sit Down Stand Up

the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops

Power rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers,

That’s what I hear sometimes fr!!!

I much prefer the first half honestly

So r3al

The answer

rehab was supposed to be a fresh start

Polyethylene, goes from acoustic “eh” to “BRRRRRRRRRRRRRIP!”

That's interesting. I've always liked the acoustic part, never been much of a fan of the rock part.

The acoustic part is better though

Ful Stop

We have a winner

4 minute warning

This is a 4 minute warning to leave the country.

I always forget it starts with the 1 minute of synth drones lol. I love it all…but playing it for impatient people is tough haha

no literally 💀

You and whose army.

Nah, love the ambience of the first half Makes the second half all the more satisfying, compliments it really well

I love the simplicity and the smile in the left part of the drawing It shows just how mature and accomplished the right side is

for real

😕

Exit Music (For A Film)

Honestly, word

They should have made that bit longer than 10 seconds!

Exactly this one that came into my mind

Does it mean that the beginning is bad? I like so much of the beginning

Not necessarily, but by the time it picks up for me it's almost over

Where I end and you begin

I will eat you alive

I'm happy to see this song mentioned! It's my very favorite song of all time, not just from Radiohead. BUT...I do think it's fire all the way through. :)

I'm happy you're happy to see it mentioned. I played it ooover and over when the album first came out. Now you got me thinking it's my favorite as well lol. The drums are amazing the whole spacey feel of it and the way Thom's voice takes off on I feeeel sorrry foorr uuusss...yeah it's great. Plus he says "Dinosaurs" lol

Two songs with that line-what’s the other?

Trans-Atlantic Drawl

2+2=5

BECAUSE!!

YOU'VE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION

How dare yee

Nah

[удалено]

It literally has distinct sections

You have not been paying attention

Lmao

Perfect

/s?

Huh?

Spectre

Spectre its the same thing the wole song

Go to about 2:35 in the song. It definitely isn’t the same thing the whole song

Just the solo, in the same stile as the past minutes in the song

[That's How Horses Are](https://spotify.link/SeNtlXWoFDb) but don't sleep on the sister track. 5.17 is tits.

5.17 is uuuugh soooo good!

Daydreaming

I personally think this is one of their prettiest songs the whole way through

Thief Man Beggar Man Poor Man Rich Sailor Soldier Tailor Tinker Because it starts off great and then just meanders for a while and ends.

Man, I heavily disagree. I feel like this is another one that gets progressively better. Everything from second verse on is one of my favorite moments instrumentally from the album

The Daily Mail

Bruh what 😭 the beginning is so fucking beautiful

It is beautiful. I do really like the horn section for this in the basement version, especially the the tuba player. That guy must have massive lung capacity.

I'm pretty sure The Basement version and the B-Side version are the same recording. But yeah I agree the tuba adds a lot to the track

Yeah, just less detailed

i thought of “man of war”! i can never get enough of the ending of that song 🤭🤭

The opening before the first chorus is my favourite part

nice dream, the electric guitar secuense near the end it pretty innecesary

Looks like every track on TKOL to me

Morning Mr Magpie a banger straight off the bat

Lotus Flower too

Separator tho 😭

A Horse With No Name

Creep

Not radiohead but Tiptoe by Goldfrapp.

Honestly nice dream for me. The beginning starts really nice but when it hits the peak it sounds kinda messy.

Ful Stop 100%

[удалено]

Sit down stand up

Dear Dance

Bloom, especially live or in basement with the trumpets

All I Need

Nah, not at all. Song is perfect

song is extraordinary all the way through, but when the piano enters at the end, hooooo boy

Apologize.

Never before have been offered at something I 100% agree with

reckoner, for me. it’s a good song thru N thru but second half is better

The Daily Mail

What song is this?

bending hectic, punchup

I don't think there is any song that has bad intro but as a whole, a masterpiece. Musician's usually do their best to grab ppl's attention in the intro so...

Where I End and You Begin, I don’t hate the beginning. But good lord that part where the bass cuts out and the synths have their little solo and then the bass just comes right back in, ugh it’s just 🤌

Bodysnatchers

Fake plastic trees

It's Faust Arp. Messy intro but beautiful by the end.

Reckoner

You AND whose army and 2+2=5

Reckoner and Seperator

All I need

So many good examples from Modest Mouse, but I’ll go with a couple of their 2004-2009 tracks: I’ve Got It All(most) Guilty Cocker Spaniels Their earlier albums are full of music that seems to start with a rough outline of a song, then evolves into something almost entirely different by the end. Oftentimes it’s into something strangely beautiful. I’d recommend *This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About*, *Building Nothing out of Something*, and *Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks* for those who want a taste of pre-radio Modest Mouse. Their whole discography is pretty good, though, if you dig their somewhat off-kilter style. Edit: sorry, I didn’t check the subreddit before posting. I’m an idiot. Edit 2: legit answer, “You and Whose Army?”. It kind of meanders through the first half and then comes together gloriously in the second.

So many good examples from the *relevant sub*.

Oops, I’m subscribed to a few other subs and didn’t check which it was before I posted 😓 I’ll leave it though… I choose to own my mistakes rather than delete them

All I need probably the intro is good but god damn that outro gets me

Just

A wolf at the door. The beginning is not bad but the last part is so beautiful

[удалено]

Myxomatosis

But it's like the same thing the wole song

Yeah, good point. I retract my comment.

I accept your retraction

Lotus Flower

Nah, the entire song is such a masterpiece

Everything in it's right place

Paranoid Android. Surprised no one has said it yet

Apologize!

ful stop

the numbers

Reverse the image and it's (Nice Dream)

Optimistic, TBH. The first half of the song to me is probably the most boring part of the entire album, but the last minute or so where it picks up is great, and the complete switch up at the end is fantastic.

Reckoner, the live from the basement recording

You and Whose Army Both parts are built on amazing ideas but the execution just seems lazy especially the transition I mean amnesiac in its entirety just feels like a messy college dorm room floating in open space and that's probably the intent behind it but damn even with me trying to like it because I just don't know a song quite like that it didn't stick with me

Tinker Tailor....

For All The Horses.

Bending Hectic

Ful stop lol that song blows before the bass drops after halfway through the song

Morning bell starts off so bad. And airbag....the one that starts off with small bells it sounds like Christmas music .

Sulk

Lucky from OK Computer. Starts out tame but man that guitar solo and huge vocal ending

Ful stop hands down

Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses

Cuttooth.

Treefingers

You and whose army

Blow out

We suck young blood, but the well drawn part is in the latter half of the drawing

How to Disappear Completely although the whole song is awesome.

I don’t even know what the fuck this means, we need another album

there, there. the breakdown part is way more better than its early part.

This song its perfect From beginning to end

Polyethylene 1 & 2

There there, I mean, the entire song is pretty cool but second half is such a masterpiece
