    I've never experienced a Radiohead album. I may as well jump in with his new album and see what's up.

    Let's discuss this!!

    I'm on my second listen right now.. The music is beautiful, and Thoms voice is as good as ever on this.

    For sure, it's much more subtle than any other Radiohead album. There's a lot to unpack here in the instrumentation and lyrics which seem to be really inspired by Thom's divorce. Like it makes so much sense that they couldn't get True Love Waits onto a record until now with that in mind.

    I don't plan on writing a review at the moment, most likely going to save my thoughts for my podcast in about a week as I'm still trying to figure out this whole album lol

    His voice is so beautiful. Especially dipped in reverb. Am I the only one who liked Burn The Witch?

    Seen this on reddit, but thought it was cool

    First/last words on the album:
    Stay
    Leave

    I saw everyone bash it on facebook. People loved to rip on them, but I love them. They live for their art and it shows. Probably my favorite Radiohead album since In Rainbows/Or h---...maybe Kid A.

    I wasn't in love with Burn the Witch on first listen but it's definitely grown on me since then.

    In general I feel like this album is gonna be a huge grower for people. For a Radiohead album it shows a lot of restraint, like there isn't that many songs here that have bombastic moments (the closest to bombast we have is Burn the Witch). Overall it's a really dire and depressing fair that works incredibly well.

    For some reason, even though hip-hop is my favorite genre, and i listen to it the most (Looking at you Kdot), this is the kind of music that gives me chills and makes me emotional. Sometimes simplicity warrants the best connection.

    @Swizz thoughts? I know you hold In Rainbows in high regard just like myself, what about this one?
