Just because you get stoned and listen to their music, doesn't mean their songs relate to getting stoned.
I think you asserting that pot is a big part of what they do is simply rediculous. The only thing that is a big part of what they do is simple: making music together. The reason for the several years without an album release, is simply because most of the members have busy lives, young children, and families. To quote Thom Yorke, and Ed OBrien:
TY: It's harder to actually get time to work. It's harder to find your reason to work, and that isn't because you don't need to work, it's because you think, "More work? This is a young person's thing." But I don't agree with that at all. Music is music, and that's ****ing nonsense. The reverse is true. There's that, but there's also the issues you face, that you're not the center of attention any more; you have children, and they are.
EO: It's a very human thing. Music, at the end of the day, is communicating something—emotion, a feeling, a rite of passage, where you are in life. This record really does that. It's not a thing that's being written by someone who's in an exclusive position. It's something that's felt by everyone.
These quotes are from an interview Radiohead gave in July. These quotes basically back up exactly what sctt_stone said. Perceptions and assumptions hardly make something *REAL* or *FACTUAL*.
Regardless, great album, love the production, and if anyone has any other information regarding some of the engineering aspects, recording aspects, or general song information, I would love to hear it. I am inspired in many ways by Radiohead and how they achieve such unique final products through atypical methods of writing and song experimentation.
Cheers!
