Pancake Posted 18 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 18 February, 2011 (edited) OK then, "Bloom" is a good enough starter. Follows on nicely from "In Rainbows" "Morning Mr Magpie" is based on a sweet beat and guitar line. Not feeling "Little by Little", a tiny bit Radiohead-by-numbers. A bit dirtier there with "Feral". Like "Louts Flower" very much indeed. Ticks all the right funky/dark/beaty/synthy/dreamy boxes for me. Best on the album by a mile so far. "Codex" is ok, nice mellow vibe "Give Up The Ghost". Well, it flows nicely after Codex, might be a grower. Loving the guitar work on "Separator". 2nd/3rd best song on the album after Louts and alongside Magpie.

Ludwig Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 I had a similar impression to Pancak, feeling a little underwhelmed overall. Potential for 'growth' somewhat, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 I think this is a bit of an Amnesiac, brilliant, but it's a grower. I do like it a lot though, I just have exceptionally high standards for Radiohead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 I was listening and thinking it was very much like Amnesiac as well, couple more listens and I reckon i'll be well in with this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 I don't think they are ever going to return to the style of The Bends/OK Cumputer era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stain Posted 19 February, 2011 Share Posted 19 February, 2011 I don't think they are ever going to return to the style of The Bends/OK Cumputer era. You reckon? A couple of listens in now and it's definitely growing on me. I'd been hoping for some Notwist-y pop like Yorke's solo record and the happier In Rainbows. But this is altogether darker, with a kind of lost-in-the-woods feel, little ghostly choral whispers and slight sounds on the edge of emptiness.

I've had about 7 or 8 listens now and I love it. I think at first I was too quick to judge it by In Rainbows style and quality, but really this album is something totally different, but still really good.
