Radiohead Album: “Go to Sleep [Import CD #1]”

The Go To Sleep single is worth every penny. While Go To Sleep isn't one of the best songs off Hail To The Thief it's b-sides are worth the purchase. The first B-side, "I Am Citizen Insane" is a dose of electronic sounds with a sporadic bass beat that creates a song full of an infectious melody that runs like musical bliss. Then comes the broken down live version of "Fog." The studio version features the likes of bass, guitar, drums, vocal harmonies and a tamborine. All the live version features is Thom and his piano. It might sounds like the live version is the lesser but the piano rolls like a harp and Thom's voice is perfect. As soon as Thom's voice kicks in with the line "There's a little child.." you feel like everything before it was just white noise. If you there were an image that Fog could bring to mind it would be Thom playing a piano in a noizy bar and as soon as he starts singing people gradually stop talking and drinking and eventually the entire bar is all ears and as soon as it's over everyone goes home, renounces alcoholism and tells their family they love them. That is the Go To Sleep Single 1. 9/10

As the other part got more traditional songs, this part gets the experimental stuff. I Am Citizen Insane is mostly instrumental (except for the voice going 'hey' over and over), but unlike many of their other instrumentals, this one sounds friendly and happy. Fog (again) is a live version done on piano, and adds a different slant on the track, like the two Morning Bells. These are both on Com Lag, but still decent on their own.

dont easily take the advice of the skeptics. they are all spoiled. The reason b sides dont make it are because in the eyes of the producers, band, etc. they arent as good cuts. so by nature they are inherently worse. however radiohead has released incredible b sides. personally i love the new b sides. the only problem i see is that its short for the money but the bsides are good fog (live) is a thom and a piano and I citizen insane is an organic electronic sound remining me alot like mum.

i am probably biased because they are my favorite band and if they released a 10 dollar cd with 9 and a half minutes of silence and a interlude with jonny on the saxaphone. then i would not get it but this is far from that. it gives insight into there music before it goes through hours of reproduction

this single, which only contains 3 songs (only 2 unreleased) is a good one - simple as that -. the title song is a good radiohead rock song which goes a bit back to THE BENDS era with a sophisticated touch and I AM CITIZEN INSANE shows only the need to hear an entire IDM album by radiohead instead of getting theyre electronic material in small amounts. The live version of fog show just how much radiohead are great at live shows. This single shows the many sides of radiohead in his simplicity. a great work all in all.
