Yep, it's a fairly continuous thread throughout the record.

I feel sad for Thom. Sounds like he went through some real shit.

Ful Stop is classic skull crush Radiohead

Downloading this now. Re-listening to TKOL in preparation.

I... I think I love "Bloom". Now I don't know what to think.

Colin's bass playing on Numbers

It will be interesting to see how they approach the orchestral contributions on the tour too. I expect that they'll want to play Burn The Witch and Identikit but the more orchestral stuff could be tricky.

swan, you're my kinda guy.

Well. Boy oh boy was I wrong about TKOL. I am loving this. What an unexpected development.

Identikit

I wanted that solo/instrumental outro part to go for another minute at least.

I've got tickets to one of the LA shows in August, and am really hoping they bring along 3-6 string players for this tour. I don't doubt that they can pull off any & all songs without, but it sure would be nice to have that element..

An upper-tier Radiohead album for me, for sure.

I'm on that one right now. Only track that I didn't totally love so far was "Feral", which seemed a little filler-y. But yeah, this album is super good. It's got some real groove.

ANTI is Rihanna's OK Computer

I kinda wish TKOL didn't slow down with "Codex" and "Give Up the Ghost". Not that they're bad songs, but it was grooving so hard before.
