I would suggest it is a perfect album, but otherwise yeah I agree totally But what else would you expect from the guardian or other incurious lib contrarians

It's crystallized pain. Amnesiac is similar but it has more verve to it, which makes it a bit more universal and easy to get with

Yeah. There is a kind of cold and icy grandeur with Kid A, which I actually find somewhat more comforting/comfortable (as you say, it's an extremely dissociative album). It's escape, of a sort. When I was really into it (and in a really bad place in my life) I'd spend hours listening to it and poring over the artwork and, well, disappearing completely into it. AMSP is just raw, bleeding grief and fear and melancholy and despair. I very rarely listen to that album, it's too much for me. It reminds me too much of the time it came out in.

Kid A and Amnesiac are like ying and yang, one might have a preference but neither can be properly thought of as 'better', at least imo

Man I'm just obsessed with Teleharmonic. Those synths give me the shivers (good style) Otherwise, gonna take a few listens. The album as a whole feels very of a piece - similar tempos, similar vibes the whole way through

It is sleepy, that's a good way to put it In fact it might be the sleepiest thing Thom has ever put out Even more than AMSP

I do feel like the whole Radiohead gang is it's own particular magic, and ultimately think I'll always love it best. It's just different without the Phil + Colin rhythms or the Ed sounds and vox And that's being too reductive, because it's not as simple as 'Ed does the whooshy noises' or whatever, it's a genuine Energy they have together When Thom and Johnny are situated in the Radiohead context they're making music with people they've known and played with since they were kids, and they just fit together, and it's audible I'll never begrudge anyone of them doing whatever they want for however long they want, because they're artists and they should do exactly what they feel But it's been a long time since we've had some Radiohead, and I miss it

Daydreaming is enough on its own to make AMSP a great album And there are other excellent tracks on there too But Daydreaming, goddamn
