You can change your mind
Let your colours fly
And start lashing out
You can change your mind
I won't be surprised
Let them colours fly
Circumstances change
Let them colours fly

You can change your mind
Mother starts to cry

And because we can't escape
You're gonna say goodnight
You're gonna say goodnight
Goodnight

No idea what a 'miserable metalfitter' actually means though - and I'm the same side of the pond that you are 


I think it was the film Midnight Cowboy which introduced the term for 'motherfucker' to appease film censors and keep the film at a low rating. That may well be my very faulty memory so don't take it as gospel, but personally I prefer 'metalfitter' :o)

The Smile efforts are rough sledding.  The first pass sounds like noise....followed by an acceptance... followed by an appreciation for the layers and nuance.

I appreciate for many...it will always be noise, but me likeeee.  



Sort of like the Kübler-Ross grief process model: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and then acceptance.

I don’t remember listening to this in the 60’s.    Or…

From the US: never heard of that term either, would love to know the meaning!

The guitar is Khruangbin-esque, which is not a bad thing. Giving it a 7 for a start.

This is cool… and challenging. I think I really like it. 8 from me.

Thom Yorke is very much a Marmite artist to love or hate. I've grown to tolerate him with Radiohead but I can understand a 1 rating as he is a miserable metalfitter. One listener's Godlike is another's Sucko-Barfo and long may that remain so.

Definitely some Bowie Blackstar sax on this one...

I thought it was some psychedelic rock band from the seventies and it sounded good to me. Normally I'm a fan of Radiohead, but I didn't recognize York on this occasion because his voice is a little different and I understood a few words here and there. I give it an eight.


I actually wondered what weird radiohead track this was, to find out it wasn't radiohead. To find out in the comments it sort of is 😅 (and that I actually rated it here some while ago)

How is this a 5.8? Nine ratings of 1?? I hate to question anyone's musical taste, but if you think this is a 1, I have to question your musical taste.

Dieser Sound ist spannend, wild und absolut zeitlos.

I'm sorry but that's just wrong.  It would be equally valid to question anyone who awards it more than 1 - although I've given it a 7, it teeters on the edge of pretentious, aimless noodling, and it's really only because of my respect for the band that I didn't deduct 6 points.

tl;dr - you say potato, I say potahto.

From Islandman's Sumeru to Smile's Colours Fly was a top move by the RP DJ. Well done.

Really amazing stuff...the rhythm changes alone are stupefying!... I was coming here to say I love the way the beginning comes crashing in like Jeff Beck... and then, William follows it up with "Rollin' And Tumblin'"!

Mesmerizing, haunting and abyssal ... but in a good sense. As William said rightly: not an easy listening.
