Removes fitter happier

The tourist is the best song on the album after Let Down.

I pick the Bends because it's perfect

>robot sperging over being self aware
>best song
The Tourist is good I agree though

>the album should have no intermission
>and have no resolution, ending with a Cold Play song
Spotted the non musician

forgot to turn the bass up, treble as fuck

Sounds like a problem with your setup

>removes electioneering
ah, perfect

This man has good taste

Missing energy

imagine having such a shitty taste

nah, and it's not a volume/mastering thing either. Colin needs to be louder, there are some banging bass lines on the album. And obviously they agreed because of the presence they put on him on Kid A is like day and night.

I was so disappointed when I finally heard the studio version of Lift. It's incredibly limp compared to the bootleg.

>nah, and it's not a volume/mastering thing either
What is your setup? What subwoofer do you have?

This. No wonder they scrapped it

>subwoofer
t. deaf earlet

iirc they scrapped it because they debuted it live while touring for The Bends and were literally scared of the audience's enthusiastic reaction. They didn't want to have another massive radio staple like Creep.

would have fit perfectly on Pablo Honey

meh, you're going to gear wank, whatever. Listened to the album for 20 years over countless speakers and ear buds. I'm right, the bass has been turned down to make the guitar the main thing ala Justice For All.

>I'm having trouble hearing something
>but it's this other user who's deaf
kek
I don't believe that's correct. it just simply sounded too much like a The bends track.
Ooops! You didn't answer the question! Try again?

>I don't believe that's correct. it just simply sounded too much like a The bends track.
This is also true. But according to O'Brien:

>If that song had been on that album, it would've taken us to a different place, and probably we'd have sold a lot more records—if we'd done it right. And everyone was saying this. And I think we subconsciously killed it. If OK Computer had been like a Jagged Little Pill, it would've killed us. But "Lift" had this magic about it. But when we got to the studio and did it, it felt like having a gun to your head. There was so much pressure.

Would be a mistake to take that as fact

As I said, not walking down your speaker gatekeeper path. But you do own a spectrum analyzer right? You've turned it on once or twice? Being a gear wanker and all. Know the kHZ that a bass is heard? Maybe use that to find that I am objectively correct.

>Know the kHZ that a bass is heard?
You mean 20-200 hz?

Do a frequency spectrum analysis on the album. You will find plenty of information in that area. Hence the problem is your setup, or your ears. NOT the album's mix

The fact that you are so afraid to post your setup shows me you already know this, and are embarrassed I called you out about it.

Why is Ed's opinion not a valid source? They toured with Alanis Morissette in 1996 and played the song dozens of times, and the bootleg recordings became massively sought after among fans. These are facts. It's quite apparent that Radiohead did not want to be associated with Britpop/mainstream radio which is why they didn't officially release it until 2017. It's the same explanation for why they practically disowned Creep and went anti-pop on Kid A.

you WILL use you actual ears to hear by separating the freq you just googled and all you will hear is guitar. Sad! Nice formatting to that comment btw, I believe it's popular on reddit

btw, post your speakers you btfo pleb, this isn't /g/

>Why is Ed's opinion not a valid source?
It's a mistake to codify what he's saying into absolute fact. This is the problem he had back in 1999, and why he stopped journaling the studio diary. These guys speak very anecdotally and are so offhanded, it's not meant to be this absolute fact.
>the freq you just googled
What do you mean? The frequencies we experience as "bass" is common knowledge. You don't just know that? kek
>Nice formatting to that comment btw, I believe it's popular on reddit
Oh, is it? Never been there. How would *you* know?

They are paragraph separations to denote separate thoughts.
Nice damage control

>It's a mistake to codify what he's saying into absolute fact
No one ever said it was absolute fact. Even Ed offers it as a projection or estimation rather than fact.
>These guys speak very anecdotally and are so offhanded
Which is why they will never directly say "we were scared of success/stardom", which they were. I'm not trying to criticize them btw I don't really blame them for not wanting that.

pray tell me, what 20-Hz sounds like? instant professionals like yourself are an easy mark. Enjoy getting btfo and I'll be secure in my knowledge that Ok Computer was poorly mixed reddit boy

>No one ever said it was absolute fact.
user I was talking to did. See
>which they were
Then they wouldn't have been professional musicians
This guy is so mad

>removes the interlude
absolute plebeian

yeah you got proven wrong and I'm mad, bravo. Congrats on formatting your posts so you fit in now just like I told you to.

You are my puppet. Dance for me.

>yeah you got proven wrong
Where was that?

Why are you upset user? What's this really about?

the poor mixing of the bass on OK Computer and you emotional investment in the contrary opinion.

>the poor mixing
No I'm asking when did you *prove* it?

I posted a quote from O'Brien, I never called it an "absolute fact". It's merely an example of the band's attitude towards the song.
>They wouldn't have been professional musicians
I'm not saying they were afraid of being professional musicians. However, no one expected Creep to be such a massive hit, and no one expected them to follow up their middling debut album with something as good as The Bends. And then OKC solidified their status as critical darlings. The band wanted to express themselves creatively and certainly wanted to get paid, but the hype surrounding them was understandably difficult for them to reckon with.

you never asked that my ornery acquaintance, or anything close to that. You were interested in my speakers, and then tried to talk technicalities of sound (of which I know far more than you) when that failed you just went on a bitch rampage. And right now you're on goal post moving watch.

utterly embarrassing form my friend.

So you misspoke

no, I'm right. You are wrong.

>no
Oh. So, where was the "proof" then? Because you just said I was "proved" wrong.

Proof would include pics and stats of your setup, or frequency analysis of the album. I might have overlooked those posts with that information. Feel free to link me to them.

Or simply stop posting.

>bland
Absolute wut

kek, as if you can see anything through that blood-red seethe you've got going. And when you've shown that you don't even know what a spectrum analyzer is. (you failed the shibboleth) and all you have is the self belief that you haven't been pummeled into a corner and a larp about having expensive speakers (no one cares). It really is in your best interest to give up.

The Bass on OK Computer Sucks. Fact!

Not the same user, but I have to disagree.
Maybe it's not as present as it could or should be, but just because it isn't doesn't mean it sucks. That's why a lot of people think the basslines in songs such as Airbag and Paranoid Android are so good and essential to the songs. If they were not mixed well, people would point it out. You are legit the 1st person I hear complaining about it.

k, enjoy being wrong

>that blood-red seethe
Dude, I haven't even have my first cup of coffee, so I can guarantee the only emotion I'm feeling right now is a haze of sleepiness and the dread of procrastination that I gotta go start my day and I don't want to.

Don't get a sliver from grasping at those straws.

Also, I have mixed more albums than you, and the bass is fine.

>postscript larp
any of them sound good?

I think so, yeah.

They should have included somehow Polyethylene, that shit slaps.

>I think so
wow!
>yeah I kind of did okay, I guess.
even your fantasy life is shit

fitter happier is one of the best tunes on there

Clients were happy. That's what counts, right?

it's your story m8
>clients
lmao

Why are you so mean. I was just wanting to have a convo. ;_;

mr mixer show us your outboard compressors

I will when nobass guy posts his setup

OK Computer is probably my favorite album, but fitter happier just felt like Stephen Hawking doing slam poetry.

>Stephen Hawking doing slam poetry.
That sounds amazing actually

it's pretty great the first few times.
I always skip the track for casual listening though.

yeah I doubt Nigel Godrich is hanging around here

>casual listening
Wow, embarrassing

ok computer has the best pacing and structure an album could have.

>Listens to Kid A instead

But all three are great you dipshits
