Red Mosquito

Regardless of how it ends up stacking against their previous work & the hyperbole surrounding it right now, the fact that they made an album this good 25 years in to their career as a band with all the same members is kinda unprecedented, right?

I'm just gonna pretend like I didn't hear you dis Go to Sleep and Scatterbrain...

This is the greatest album ever made

Don't tell Kanye

Woke up around 3 in the AM to empty my bladder and i crawled back into bed and put my headphones and listened while falling back asleep. Man alive, some great sounds going on here. i could bring my attention to the upper right audio plane and listen for hours at some minor flourish that is happening before moving my attention to somewhere else.

Haunting stuff indeed.

After years of waiting...

This album is really unbelievable, Radiohead's finest work, and everybody's

"4 Minute Warning" was so much better when it sounded like an "OK Computer" song. That's another one that they shat all over years after the fact.

After 20-odd spins this week:

Champagne Radiohead: Burn The Witch, Ful Stop, Daydreaming, Decks Dark, Present Tense (these last 3 are just gorgeous)

Good to Great: Desert Island Disk, Glass Eyes, Identikit (I loved the live version from 2012, still getting used to this), True Love Waits

Not doing it for me as much as the others (yet?): The Numbers (reminds me of latter-day U2), Tinker Tailor whatever

I do not like the choir on the chorus of identikit.

And I really wish they would've added some strings to True Love Waits.

The chorus with the choir is one of my favorite moments of the record

Burn The Witch, Deck's Dark, Desert Island, and Identikit have grown on me tremendously. Still trying to absorb the entirety. The Numbers is still my fav though, Burn The Witch not far behind. It took a good 7 days to digest, but this fucker is starting to grow on me big time. Definitely an album you have to be in the mood for, though

Present Tense has become my fav in the last 2 days. Identikit & Burn The Witch after that.

i think identikit is the best song i've ever heard
