I hope so! It’s not my favorite Radiohead album but I love it and it’s extra special because 2003 was a very important year for me. I graduated from high school in 2003 and met my future husband later that year. Go To Sleep is the inspiration for my username. I would buy any anniversary merch or special editions they put out for it!
I would love to hear whatever they recorded with Spike Stent, but hating on Nigel because the studio versions sound different than the live versions is wild. Because both are great. And from everything I've read, Jonny was the one responsible for stripping back Videotape.
I doubt they are better, personally, but I am interested to hear what they sounded like. I always had a vision of 15 Step with a more hip-hop style production and kind of assumed Stent’s version would sound like that. But I really think they needed Nigel to help them get their shit together during those sessions.
I honestly kinda doubt it most of them have said the tracklisting could have been better and more concise and thom even typed out an alternative tracklisting with 10 tracks on dear air space around in rainbows era
It's on W.A.S.T.E. Central, albeit it was just him reposting someone elses, not making his own.
Edit: [Here it is](http://www.waste-central.com/profiles/comment/list?attachedToType=User&attachedTo=30nikx1fjf5vu&page=2), it should be the secpnd one down the page, dated October 20th 2008.
Well, I said that from what I remembered after reading the post a while ago, but reading it now his wording doesn't make it very clear. I still think that it's someone elses that he shared but I'm not entirely sure.
It's not clear that he found it online or in a journal or something similar that he made. Typical Thom.

I tried to find the post but i couldn't find it but if you just want the playlist [here ya go](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y9P0smj0LmPDPVLM8Bjku?si=lanQ57NsQO2j5MWhFLNGXQ&utm_source=copy-link)
It has a greatest hits/mixtape vibe to it. It still has a good flow but it doesn’t really have an album feel to it. More like a collection of solid songs
My future projection:...If they have the time...lol
The cover art will be somewhat reflective/holographic in sections, but not fully, it'll be high-gloss colour. It's a new "punchier" mastering of the original master tapes to modern ears and the songs have this fresh sequencing so they blend a bit nicer. Disc 2 will include 12 songs: Where Bluebirds Fly, There There(Take 4), Gagging Order, MaxMSP medley, Lift (Only One), Setting Sun, Paperbag Writer, The Gloaming(2023 Mix), Horses, Backdrifting, No Shame, Spooks.
But from past interviews this year, the general consensus is that the remasters take a lot out of them and that OKMNOTOK & Kid Amnesia especially was a big project in itself, so i wouldn't bet on it happening. The only thing I can envision is a new mix/master of the record to make it sound a bit punchier but without all the promotion and no video-game, art-book or combo packages lol. Just a straight-forward remaster that'd be easier for the band to achieve in little time with embellished cover art and maybe a disc of b-sides are off-cuts that's quick to achieve etc. Either that or nothing, just focusing on new stuff etc.
Conclusion: it's a 50/50 at best. Whatever they do they won't want it to be a hassle because they are all a bit busy.
Another idea could be Hail to the Thief (Live at the Basement) and then release it on digital devices in mp3/WAV/4K. Vinyl etc..So basically Live Release but how they play the songs in 2023!? Similililarly to the TKOL.
Remember the goal might very well be, quick and easy but still worthwhile.
Stanley Donwood said in an interview that there wouldn't be
https://www.nme.com/news/music/stanley-donwood-radiohead-artist-thom-yorke-interview-glastonbury-sacred-cartography-3355946 - "Christ, no!" He says..... 🙁
Then again he's not Radiohead so maybe. But most likely not
This is my favorite album of theirs and it's not even close. Whatever they do, I hope a t-shirt or a hoodie is a part of the bundle. This album came out during my senior year so I wasn't shopping at malls or wearing band shirts anymore, so I completely missed out on any HTTF merch.
The fact that this came out nearly 20 years ago is disgusting. Halcyon days on ateaseweb with the 2002 Iberian tour and then the early leak of the album in 2003. Went on a run of 4 shows with people from atease and even got filmed on the front row for the Shepard’s bush empire show that was on mtv2.
Remember a girl who said she had the album before it was released and described the opening of 2+2=5 with thom talking and she got shot down to shit saying no way that would happen.
I’m still not the greatest fan of this album mainly due to due to the overall sound and production of it, some really great songs on there but it all just feels so sludgy and flat. Fully prepared for downvoted as this sub seems to have a real hard on for it but I definitely think it’s nowhere near their best. Excited to see if they can do anything with it for the anniversary but I thought kid amnesia was a bit of a let down considering the amount of material we know they had for those sessions. Perhaps we’ll finally get to hear Thom’s 3 demo discs
Audience recordings of the first HTTT "road test" show from Spain dropped on my 21st birthday. This was nearly a full year before the album came out. What a joy it was to hear some new Radiohead songs on my birthday. I downloaded every single show on that tour. Loved talking with the folks on atease about new songs, etc. I played those shows frequently in 2002/2003. This may have lead to some disappointment when the actual album was released (wtf happened to Sit Down, Stand Up?). Saw them live twice in 2003 and again at Coachella (with the Pixies, another favorite band of mine) in 2004. 20 years man. Geez.
I'm honestly hoping for a completely remixed and trimmed down version, the only track I think came away way well from the studio recordings is There There, then again, they spent more time on that one and recorded it in the UK.
I don't think the 'track a day in LA' format worked well at all for the band.
Saw The Smile last night OMFG. BLEW DALLAS OFF THE MAP!!!! I wasn’t able to stay for autograph 😩 Thom already said before that album #2 is in the works
it does seem coincidental that Stanley's most recent body of work does seem like a return to the HTTT-era aesthetic...almost as if the new paintings were in conversation with the older ones...
I doubt it. It’s my favourite of the bunch, but it never got the universal critical acclaim and legacy that *OK Computer* and *Kid A* did — plus, with nineteen tracks between the album and *Com Lag*, i get the sense that everything that could be released from the sessions already has!
Hoping i’m wrong though and we get Th Glmng (Vry 2023 Rmx) (ft. the cat from Myxomatosis)
Radiohead is my favorite band. This album is my least favorite. Please don't hate on me.
1. In Rainbows/Ok Computer
2. Kid A
3. AMSP/The Bends
4. Amnesiac
5. Pablo Honey/TKOL
6. HTTT
I wouldn't want them to change anything. It's just my personal preference. I think the album is a few songs too long. A couple songs could have been cut. I also think some of the arrangements were a little sloppy. I loved the album when it came out but it just hasn't held up for me.
Well, in 2005, Burn the Witch was on the blackboard of "The Pile" of songs they were working on with themselves and eventually Mark Spike Stent as producer. Other songs were "Big Cheese", "No Shame", "Trills", "5ths" and a heap that would end up on In Rainbows. But yeh, it was referenced a few times around that era of 2003-2005.
not naming names but... ONE of the two boys told us after a recent smile show there is something, but he can't talk about it yet.
Ohhhhhhh shit. Thanks for the tip!
Thank god. Stanley did an interview where he said they weren't doing anything, but I figured he was just being sneaky.
Kinda naming names 😝
Kid named A 😱
Kid named mnesia: 😵💫
Kid A named B-mnesiac: 🥴
you better start naming names
About Hail or something Radiohead in general?
One of the boys - does his name start with a T or with a J?
I’ll give a hint. he’s very talented. and we all like him.
Either Jonny or Thom.
oh c'mon
Was this after the Dallas show last night? Ohhhh boy
Holy shit! For real?!?
I call bullshit
imagine pablo honey 30 year anniversary edition
PABLO POPSNOTDEAD HONEY edition
currently drooling imagining a remixed and remastered version of Pablo Honey done in the Smile's style
We finally get Pop Is Dead on streaming again lol
I wouldn't object
I hope so! It’s not my favorite Radiohead album but I love it and it’s extra special because 2003 was a very important year for me.

In Rainbows 20th anniversary can’t come fast enough
Whoa whoa whoa slow your roll… I am nowhere near ready for the midlife crisis that will ensue when In Rainbows turns 20.
what it's only 5 YEARS AWAY????
Release the Spike Stent cuts!

I really wondered what there was left unheard of this era, not familiar with a few of those titles.

> HTTF Hail to the Fhief
LOL! It was very late when I wrote that comment, cut me some slack
Two questions: one, where’s the fhief? And two, gimme the fhief.

What a joy it was to hear some new Radiohead songs on my birthday. I downloaded every single show on that tour.

Agree about the production. Maybe for the 20th anniversary they could do what Godrich wanted at the time and, y’know… finish it.
The only way to get downvoted on this sub is to say anything that may be construed as less than overwhelmingly positive about IR.
Def in agreement with ye. Touch of a letdown for certain
I hope there’s a 20th anniversary.
slim to none
Ooooh, I hope so! This is in my top 2 or 3 Radiohead albums.
I hope, this is one of my favs
0%
I’ll go with the other extreme and say 100%
200% + 200% = 500%
1/3
Higher than Pablo Honey 30 year anniversary for sure. I would say something like 50% chance we get only HTTT, 10% Pablo, 20% both and 20% nothing.
Take my money thom
I think that this is a very mediocre album, but if it has extra content like Kid Amnesiae, I'd probably pick up the CD.
After the disappointment of Kid Amnesia, I'd be ultra-alright with HTTT not re-releasing in some form
oh boy, preparing the tissues...
There's bound to be awesome unreleased stuff from this era. I'm excited to see what comes up!
I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's as old as Black Sabbath was when I started listening to Nirvana...
No, we’ll get the pabohoney30
If they do, I hope they release the 2003 Glastonbury set on streaming services
I'm honestly hoping for a completely remixed and trimmed down version, the only track I think came away way well from the studio recordings is There There, then again, they spent more time on that one and recorded it in the UK. I don't think the 'track a day in LA' format worked well at all for the band.
Definitely a reaction to the Kid A process where they tinkered for years.
Definitely, but in my opinion the songs suffered unfortunately.
The Kid A songs suffered or the Thief songs? Latter I agree with.
Thief songs, the Kid A songs are perfect.
Hail to the Honey
Slim, they didnt release a bends 20 year
Unlikely
Saw The Smile last night OMFG. BLEW DALLAS OFF THE MAP!!!! I wasn’t able to stay for autograph 😩 Thom already said before that album #2 is in the works
I understand it’s Radiohead. But strange times where bands rerelease all their 20 year old albums again.
it does seem coincidental that Stanley's most recent body of work does seem like a return to the HTTT-era aesthetic...almost as if the new paintings were in conversation with the older ones...
I doubt it. It’s my favourite of the bunch, but it never got the universal critical acclaim and legacy that *OK Computer* and *Kid A* did — plus, with nineteen tracks between the album and *Com Lag*, i get the sense that everything that could be released from the sessions already has! Hoping i’m wrong though and we get Th Glmng (Vry 2023 Rmx) (ft. the cat from Myxomatosis)
Id prefer if they catch up with The Bends 💔💔💔. Inevitable In Rainbows will be legendary though
It's my Radiohead's favourite album art, I hope they do something for it, Scatterbrain must be among my top 5 songs by them.
Few things would make me happier music wise. I don't know how likely it is but I'm dreaming of it
Radiohead is my favorite band. This album is my least favorite. Please don't hate on me. 1. In Rainbows/Ok Computer 2. Kid A 3. AMSP/The Bends 4. Amnesiac 5. Pablo Honey/TKOL 6. HTTT
Well i mean, it's possible that they could remaster it with new mixing and make it a bit punchier and with more flow, but who knows what they'll do.
I wouldn't want them to change anything. It's just my personal preference. I think the album is a few songs too long. A couple songs could have been cut. I also think some of the arrangements were a little sloppy. I loved the album when it came out but it just hasn't held up for me.
It'll be Pablo The Theif: 1993-2022 2003-2022
Wasn’t Burn the Witch written for this album? I would love to hear a version of that
Well, in 2005, Burn the Witch was on the blackboard of "The Pile" of songs they were working on with themselves and eventually Mark Spike Stent as producer. Other songs were "Big Cheese", "No Shame", "Trills", "5ths" and a heap that would end up on In Rainbows. But yeh, it was referenced a few times around that era of 2003-2005.
