It was definitely better on the third listen than the first, but pretty solid overall. I wasn't blown away, but not necessarily disappointed. I do like that they seem to be moving away from their King of Limbs sound.
Just throwing this out here, but it's interesting that the song is titled Burn the Witch. As in Bern the Witch (Hillary)? I know it's not what they're going for with the title of a very old song of theirs, but still an interesting idea to me.

Yeah this especially, i'm happy the sound is different than the KoL and Atoms for Peace and such. Awesome first single i think from the album though.
How the dick would they even be able to pull that off live? I'm sure they'll find a way. Seems like they would need a string section... Oh wait, I forgot... Jonny practically is a string section.

To take it a step further, the man in the video scoping out the town appears to be wealthy. Is he a banker? Maybe the towns people burning him is an allegory for people rising up and retaking whats theres and I'm literally just writing this to fuck with the Hillary ppl on here

That's a good idea. Your jokes and fucking with ppl on here has gone so well for you in the past.
The emotional scars your water bottle jokes have left me with keep me up most nights.
I thought by referencing that I knew the song was many years old would demonstrate that I obviously don't think the song is about Bernie or Hillary. I just thought it was a timely observation.
1. I hope to the music gods they perform their new album with an orchestra/string section at their MSG shows in july. I'm giddy in anticipation for that already.
2. the flyers that were sent to people a couple of days ago + the instagram videos all match with this video/art for the single on spotify. this could mean absolutely nothing different than an album drop like we've been thinking, or it could mean it was all just build up for a fucking single and we still won't get the album for a while. which would make me very very sad and anxious.

Saw somebody on reddit point out that every city they're stopping in has a well-respected symphony orchestra. A possible explanation for the odd and spotty nature of the dates for this summer's tour is that they're only playing cities in which they could reach an agreement with said city's symphony orchestra to join them for the show(s). It's wishful thinking but damn would I love to hear national anthem, life in a glasshouse, spectre and whichever songs on the new album feature strings in a live setting featuring an orchestra

•Radiohead does not have a tour date anywhere in the southern US. The closest they get is Lollapalooza.
•Radiohead only has ONE big blank in their tour- Bonnaroo's week. "But they are in Europe before and after" - yes true - but they are in SPAIN the week before and ICELAND the week after - they have to get on planes and pack up anyways.
•They could play any night, but Saturday currently makes the most sense when considering the history of the fest. Saturday currently has a significantly less powerful late night setup than Friday. Thursday night is unprecedented and unrealistic in a million ways....which strangely feels very Radiohead.
•We know that Bonnaroo has tried to do secret giant acts in the past, most notably Kanye in 2013 (which failed, they ended up getting him as a headliner for 2014). I would argue a surprise Kanye add would be in the same category of epicness of a late Radiohead late-add. Also, If you were going to do something like this and not feel pressure to do it annually... you'd do it on a Big Anniversary...
•We know Radiohead enjoys Bonnaroo and often cites their shows at Roo as among their very best. In the history of Bonnaroo, there is arguably no act that has been more transformative to the festival as Radiohead.
•We also know that Bonnaroo's people have been talking to Radiohead because of their appearances at the sister festivals... BOTH of them.
•Bonnaroo had a fucking Artist Page for Radiohead on their website. At first, someone took a screenshot and posted it to Inforoo and the assclowns there scolded him for 'faking it'. A week or two later, internet masters found there was actually a legitimate artist page for Radiohead on Bonnaroo's website. Bonnaroo admitted to CoS that they had a mistake on their website. The artist page description is different than those on the sister fest websites. Keep in mind - Bonnaroo at this point knows there is legitimate Radiohead hype building
•Within a week of the Radiohead slip up on their website, THIS INSTAGRAM POST was made by Bonnaroo. They are very clearly referencing Radiohead in both their picture and description. As any rational being would conclude, the comments are FULL of Radiohead mentions - everyone is flipping out in the comments. Bonnaroo absolutely knows there is Radiohead hype and has fed into it....
•Radiohead's first Album Teaser was Sunday, when they wiped their social media. Within the last 36 hours, they posted a video snippet and then this morning at ~7am EST they posted their first REAL teaser - a video for Burning the Witch. Within 2 hours of Radiohead's first major album teaser, Bonnaroo tweets that something Magical is happening this week. This is after ALL of the above has happened.
•Bonnaroo, has rarely hyped an announcement like this before, giving additional support that we are getting more than a schedule. Bonnaroo knows there is serious hype for Radiohead. If you didn't have Radiohead, you would never tweet out a surprise tip. You would release the schedule, let the hype die down, and then announce whatever extra magic is coming.
Well this inforoo assclown has gotta give the guy props for his dedication to speculation. But come on man.

If they could pull off TKOL live, this should be.... I won't say no problem. But it's doable mayhaps perbe. I trust those lads shall find a way.

Reddit has lost the plot. Conspiracies galore. Someone even said something about Bowie and Prince faking their deaths to make Bonnaroo awesome

that was me guys, and I understand that it's a pretty ridiculous conspiracy and I don't actually believe it will happen, doesn't mean my brain don't come up with outlandish scenarios to try and convince me it will happen. This is just for the Prince and Bowie thing, the Radiohead shit I full-fledged believe is going to happen until the monday morning after Roo and I still haven't heard Radiohead that weekend.
