The King of Limbs from the Basement DVD/Blu Ray set. Free if one wants it to be on youtube, but I sprung for higher quality.
Reports that the band's legacy or even status was in danger were greatly exaggerated.

Not a big fan of TKOL, but what I have seen of this set was terrific. |

I think that it, in many ways, increased my appreciation for the album. I still think the dismissals were too often knee-jerk and completely lacking in insight, but at the same time, I think very few would have complained if it was the album. The only bad thing about it is that the Blu Ray disc is more or less just a collector's item seeing as I don't have a PAL compatible set-up. I'll make sure to pack it with me if I ever take a European vacation. |

I listened to it yesterday. Good live renditions, but I still prefer the studio takes in most cases. (To be fair, this is almost always true for me for just about any band.) I also finally caught up with "The Daily Mail/Staircase" and "Supercollider/The Butcher". Those'll take some more digesting. I'll just file them as part of the TKOL album in iTunes to make sure I don't forget they exist. (I wish a special edition with all 12 tracks existed.) |

"The Butcher" is the only one that is conspicuously missing on the DVD, but it's also my least favorite of the era, so I guess that's ok.

Yeah, I didn't care for that one as much, either. The band actually said they recorded it during the TKOL session, but couldn't make it "work" on the album. The other three were all being worked on (some for years) before TKOL came out, though, and these four songs are being promoted as singles with artwork similar to TKOL, so I'm a bit perplexed. (To be fair, this isn't a first for Radiohead; they've had non-album singles as far back as "Pop Is Dead". I have no clue why that one wasn't deemed worthy of the album; it's not like it would have made Pablo Honey any worse.) |

I'm not really. When they release singles/EPs, they are usually released with artwork and fonts similar to the related album. (To be fair, this isn't a first for Radiohead; they've had non-album singles as far back as "Pop Is Dead". I have no clue why that one wasn't deemed worthy of the album; it's not like it would have made Pablo Honey any worse.) IDK, but Pablo Honey is already a bit more than long enough. |

Yeah, but usually those singles are actually on the album. (EPs are a different story, since they're usually B-sides, or alternate/live/acoustic takes of album material.) I guess I'm used to seeing a "single" as a tool to promote the album. I know it wasn't always this way (lots of the early rock & rollers had non-album singles, so there's precedent for it), but in modern times, it strikes me as odd, especially with indie bands who really couldn't give a rat's ass about radio anyway. |

I'm used to singles serving a variety of purposes, but I don't know that they do much that would be a normal promotion of albums anyway - not a lot of music videos either, for example.

They've been bucking the trend regarding how albums are normally promoted since Kid A, anyway, so comparison to the usual model might be irrelevant. Though they did have the "Lotus Flower" video, and that was quite clearly timed to promote the album. |

Out of The Grey - (See Inside)
Hey, there's a blast from my past. That's sort of their "alternative" album after they realized they had gotten too poppy. Not that it isn't still poppy. But I enjoy the more organic approach. It was the mid-90s; everyone was getting an alt makeover back then. |

I haven't listened to the album yet, but I remember "Disappear" being one of my favorite songs on CCM radio back when it was released. I'm hoping this album resembles the style of that song, and by your description, it sounds like it will. |

A good chunk of it does. "No Leaving" and "Not a Chance" are pretty solid pop/rock tracks, and I always thought "Winter Sun" was a fascinatingly strange entry among the mellower songs. It's also an interesting album in that it contains solo songs for Scott ("That's Where I Live") and Christine ("Joy"). The latter is one of my favorite OOTG songs, period. It's very abstract. Their debut album is always going to be my favorite, though. It still sets a high bar for my idea of "the perfect pop album" because it is both very catchy and very inventive. Perhaps a bit dated now, but it was definitely ahead of the game in terms of early 90s CCM. |

Well, I paid a whopping 25 cents for it, so it sounds like it'll be well worth that. |

Excellent choice.  Sons - Keep Quiet just arrived in the mail. Based on what I've heard from it, this is an early album of the year candidate for me. |

Excellent choice. I don't enjoy it as much as their later, more experimental material, but I do like it more than Major/Minor. Ambulance is an intelligently written hard rock record and the band has some serious chops here, so I respect it a lot, and I'm learning to like it more as my mind differentiates between the songs, which at first glance mostly sound similar. |

There's a good chance that I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I do if I had heard their later material first. This just happens to be the first Thrice album I heard, and it came out at a time when I was really into music of this style. It probably holds more value to me for those reasons, but I do think it's a quality album. |

I wanted to listen to this when it came out a few years ago, but I was never able to find it. How is it? I know not to expect a reprise of the Chasing Furies sound, but I'm hoping it's got a similar "hauntingly beautiful" vibe to it. |

I haven't had a chance to fully listen to it, but i think that's a fair description, although it's a little slower than I expected it to be. I just got her new release this morning (released today), and that's what triggered me getting the other one, when I saw the new one was coming out. I got the other one in Amazon marketplace for like $0.01 + shipping I think. |

Didn't know she had a new one out, either, so I'll look for that one first. |
