TKOL sounded like a solo Yorke album and I didn't really like it that much outside maybe a few songs. I hope this next album is better. Spectre was kind of a boring song too

I like the song but it was pretty low key.

The song is starting to remind me of Airbag. Notice the funky drumbeat that does the mix-up/start stop thing in the middle, the bass cameo after "abandon all reason".

In sort of a surprising move, Radiohead have been confirmed for ACL. http://music.blog.austin360.com/2016/05/05/radiohead-mumford-sons-lcd-soundsystem-kendrick-lamar-to-headline-acl-fest/

This is so awesome. I bought tickets and I'm excited as gently caress to see them live for the first time.

Its going to be a grower for alot of people.

The complete lack of hooks makes the first listen pretty but also pretty unmemorable. \

Other then burn the witch. But that was first heard a week ago.

This is exactly how I felt about the king of limbs and in 5 years it honestly never clicked with me.

But with this new one I instantly started liking it.

Ok, so after listen #2, I defiantly still like it and think it's a good album, but I wish there was just one awesome summer jam on it. I really don't see this one getting much play at the beach or in the gym. Not even sure if I'm going to buy it on cd in June, cause I listen to CDs in the car usually and this is not the kind of album I think I'm going to listen to while I cruise around with the top down.

Let's be real Radiohead is not a summer jam or gym type of band.

IDK this is being hyped up as one of the big releases of the summer? After Drake's bummer of an album a few weeks ago I just need to hear something upbeat. Gorillaz please salvage this poo poo year of music.

You're listening to the wrong type of music and bands/artists for upbeat summer music dude.

Am I losing my mind or did Burn The Witch open with bird noises? On the album it just jumps right in. Am I freaking out or was there an album version / single version?

You're thinking about the music video. It starts with a bird chirping. The single doesn't have that.

I think you people are crazy if you think Radiohead covers are bad. I love the cover art for this album and it's singles though so I don't know.

I listened to AMSP in my car over Bluetooth mostly and it sounds good to my ears. It's probably veces I've never experienced amazing sound system so I can't hear the crazy intricacies of each song that Radiohead fans love or whatever.

It was also following up in rainbows which to me is like a top 3 Radiohead album, so I was pretty disappointed when it didn't live up to it.

I saw Radiohead last year at ACL and I had a loving great time. Granted I got to the festival a bit late so I only saw 2 bands (Flying Lotus right before Radiohead on the same stage) and its also a smaller festival. I still had a great time.

Anima is phenomenal. I’d go so far as to call it better than some Radiohead albums. Just absolutely stellar.

It’s definitely better than tkol that’s for sure

What does it mean to be “self-indulgent”? He’s just making the type of music he likes? What would it mean for it to not be self-indulgent? Also “a release strictly for the fans” - firstly this is directly contradicting your prior statement about it being self-indulgent, and who is it supposed to be for it not “the fans”?

I for one cannot tell that he put any more effort into Anima than he did his other albums.

I think they mean its not accessible. And also Thom just doing his own thing, getting weird and what not.

I guess? It doesn’t seem any weirder than what’s found on Kid A or Amnesiac.

Yeah but those albums are old now and Radiohead's output since Amnesiac has been much more accessible.

What does their age have to do with it? My point was that Thom’s solo stuff is quite similar to Kid A/Amnesiac, and therefore I’m not convinced that The Eraser is any less accessible than Kid A/Amnesiac. The Eraser came out before In Rainbows did. The only other Radiohead released in that span was HTTT. I’m not trying to be pedantic here, I just find it so curious how his albums have this reputation for being “out there” when they’re cut from the same cloth as those landmark albums that everyone knows/loves. Like, you can put Pull/Pulk on a Thom album, or you can put Black Swan on a Radiohead album. They are totally interchangeable aesthetics.

Put yourself in the mind of a non fan or not hardcore fan or people who aren't into these weirder albums from both Radiohead and Thom. A lot of my "normie" friends fav radiohead album is In Rainbows for example. But they would never mess with something like Kid A/Amnesiac or any of the solo albums. If that makes sense.

They are still out there and weird despite how big the albums are.
