Thom Yorke has some rad lib borderline green fash politics but I think it’s cool that someone like him is inspired by Disco Elysium. In a BBC interview he says this song was inspired by Disco Elysium. If he was more based it would be cool but he’s not.
“The song Bloom was actually inspired by an “indie” game, they have a subgenre of games called indie games now faces to Jonny remember that we used to be indie (he laughs) no but the artist for our album covers showed me some paintings which I thought were really cool and I asked him ‘what about these right here?’ and he said they weren’t his but they were some prints by some artists working on a video game. At first I wasn’t interested, I just thought games were just, I don’t know… boring (laughs) but no I was proven wrong when I played Disco Elysium. The music is great, the art, the story, characters are really really funny too and I had a good time, didn’t finish it but for the few hours I did play I was really into it. One of the motifs on a track stuck out to me and using inspiration from that track that’s how Bloom came into existence. So thanks guys, the Disco team. Great stuff”
don’t care didn’t read tom is a dumb zionist
Nowadays, so many damn artists will leave you torn as shit on how much you can separate art from the artist.
Geddy Lee posted this on October 7 of this month, and I am a huge Rush fan.
Sometimes when I’m listening to a Rush mix, “Heresy” comes on and I actually
Yeah, Heresy is definitely not their greatest moment for sure. Even pushing the frustrating anti-communism aside, Roll the Bones is pretty mid overall.
I generally prefer their classic prog era that I personally would say begins with Fly By Night and ends with Permanent Waves. I’m even a Caress of Steel enjoyer.
I can even look past the earlier Randian bullshit a bit, but if I ever sing along to the chorus of Anthem, I sing “Workers of the world, unite!” with the same cadence as the original lyric, “Wonders of the world, they wrought!” instead.
i really like some of their '80s stuff and later 21st century stuff, but '90s rush was just weird
neil’s lyrics were always way better when he was going for emotional depth instead of trying to be a commentator on the state of the world lol
you’d think the child of holocaust survivors would be able to see the parallels

I despised his music before I learned he was a piece of garbage. I once had a manager that kept an iron-grip on the work Spotify, and if they were in a sour mood I’d have to listen to Radiohead for 3 straight hours.
