OPEN LETTRE « PLEASE DEAR RADIOHEAD GUYS: GO BACK TO THE ROOTS »
I’m your N° 1 fan since the 90’s. I used to dance all your songs at my favorite Rock bar in Cali, Colombia named “Sesame Street”. I used to buy your albums and I listened on my way to study.
I went to the concert at Alges - Lisbon, 8 July. And let me tell you… I LIKE SOOOOO MUUUUUCHHH!!!! THANKS GUYS FOR SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY SHOW!!!!
Today, I think honestly, without hurt any feeling, that you are lost the essential of Radiohead. I understand that a group must evolve, the lyrics, the sounds, the melody, the harmony, the instruments, etc. …
But I think that evolution is so distant of your beginnings and development as a group.
At the beginning Radiohead, was basic and complex at the same time. The three guitars and its distortions, the bass, the drums and others instruments for coordinate all. Ah!!! I didn’t forget the awesome voice of Thom York! Your music was guaranteed of quality and talents!
You have had an excellent sound, with character, force, heart and the most important SUBSTANCE!!!
When I listen the new album “A moon shaped pool” I can appreciate your music as a fabulous NEW GROUP, that’s not RADIOHEAD. It lacks of power, soul and continuity of all your abilities. Your capacity of evolution lets behind your origins.
Please, dear Radiohead guys: go back to your origins!!!
