I haven't listened to any of it, waiting for the album.

It's really fricking good.

This is really good, almost feels like a full Radiohead release to me.

Super chill music.

At times it's better. It's 100% on par with radiohead quality and vibe wise. At times, the arrangements even transcend radiohead IMO.

radiohead has been known to have inner problems between the guys. The core of that band has always been Yorke and Greenwood because they both contribute so much (hell, Jonny literally designed his own looping/sampling SOFTWARE to use on King of Limbs.)

This is basically a very refined radiohead if you think about it.

Love the whole thing, incredible album.

Grew up on Radiohead. Not my usual go-to these days but I enjoyed listening to this album on my nice headphones. Some of their sounds really tickle the brain.

A Light for Attracting Attention is damn good and I especially like Skrting on the Surface, that one is solid as hell.

If I have to be honest, I do agree mostly with the fact that Yorke and Greenwood being probably the primary contributors to Radiohead. As the years go by and I continue to to listen to old and new stuff by them, I have grown to really appreciate O'Brien as well. Used to slightly overlook him at times. Seems like a solid guy as well.

But as far as Selway goes, guy is a bad arse and I never overlooked him. His solo stuff is good too.

Holy shite thanks for mentioning this. I’m in heaven with this to replay for the next week or two. Fantastic radiohead fix

Greenwood is a gift from above. It can’t be overstated. If people want to keep insisting to me that Kanye is a musical genius then fine. Jonny is the fricking Stephen Hawking of music then

Really digging their chemistry with this new drummer as well

No problem all, it's a beast, each listen makes it even better, much like my favorite albums.

Kayne is a sampling, interpolation genius, its true.


Greenwood is the Nikola Tesla of sounds, dude invents things, programs software, etc out of thing air and his sound design is both unmistakable and impressive. Watching him in 2003 at UNO shoot between what seemed like 20 different instruments/pads/synths was unreal. He even played 3 instruments at the same time at one point.

Greenwood is one of the true talents in music.
