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
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

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.
Well said, Fred!!!
No idea what a 'miserable metalfitter' actually means though - and I'm the same side of the pond that you are

Amazing, I didn't know they released something new.
Definitely some Bowie Blackstar sax on this one...

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)
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.

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.
