Early standouts are Burn The Witch, Decks Dark, and The Numbers.
Exactly everything this

I think that's a combination of posts we made a few pages back, minus the testicles swinging from a trailer hitch. Those things creep me out.

Two things:

1. Decks Dark is absolutely amazing. It's my new No. 1.

2. Every time I hear the beginning of Dessert Island Disk with the guitar intro I expect to hear the lyrics from the opening verse from Suspicion from REM.

That is all.

Decks dark is probably my favorite song from the album.

It's magic. On the surface it seems like a pretty unremarkable song, but it has such sonic and emotional depth, and teeth that really sink into you after a few listens.

Daydreaming
Burn The Witch
Decks Dark
Glass Eyes
The Numbers
True Love Waits
Tinker Tailor
Ful Stop
Identikit
Desert Island Disk
Present Tense

In a Radiohead context none of these songs are worse than about 7/10. I'm still extremely impressed with this album.

Still not ready to give a complete album thought but, yes, this.

Also, periodic reminder that Daydreaming is a shattering masterpiece. :wave:

Decks Dark
Ful Stop
Daydreaming
Desert Island Disk
Present Tense
Burn the Witch
Glass Eyes
True Love Waits
Identikit
The Numbers
Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor

By the way, I love the transition from Decks Dark to Desert Island Disk and how leads immediately into the other

You listed TLW twice, and missed The Numbers.
Yeah, the Numbers should be where the second TLW goes.
