Radiohead's latest LP is a fan-pleasing piece of work. It's loaded with beautiful and well-recorded sounds, and even Thom Yorke's songwriting shows some muscle with moments like "Lotus Flower" and "Separator."
But there's something that clicks away and eats away at the first half of this album, in my opinion. Though I like what I'm hearing, I can't say I'm enjoying how it's organized. It kinda sounds like the beat arrangements were produced on a "ctrl + c / ctrl + v" basis.
The second half of this album is a bit of a different story, though. "Give Up the Ghost" and "Codex" are a really nice break from the beats, but I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by what's going on here. Nothing here hit me with the emotional impact of earlier albums.
What do you think of this LP? Love it? Hate it? Why? How does this Radiohead album sit with you? How does it compare to others?
6/10

@elliotnicklin Ah ok:)

@YourVertigoso "NO" was referring to the awesome glitchy edit he did. haha. And to clarify, Anthony speaks opinion. Which I happen to agree with in this instance. Peace.
-
@elliotnicklin Go away and come back with an arguement... Anthony speaks the truth
-
It's like you read my mind, except substitute Nude with Weird Fishes.
-
I'd like to see them expand on the type of vibe they have going with "staircase."
-
I think radiohead was just like it fuck it, let's release this stuff. who cares? I don't think they were trying to make a consistent album. Seems like it's just a package of songs that they were sitting on and said hey let's release it. Radiohead is going to get unfairly critiqued too because everyone is so familiar with their body of work.

"Codex" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard.... In my life... Ever .... Seriously

I honestly think that "Give Up the Ghost" is the most beautiful Radiohead song I've ever heard next to "How To Completely Disappear." I really loved this album.
