First listen here, and first Radiohead album I've experienced on day 1. This is fucking gorgeous. Like, I'd say this could very well end up as one of my favourite albums of the decade, up there with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, The Money Store and good kid, m.A.A.d city. Amazing texturing and album flow, and Thom's vocals are heartwrenching.

it's great isn't it. immediately jumped into at the VERY least my top 4 Radiohead albums, and I've only heard it 1.5 times. so actually, that impression might change. but it's pretty much everything I'd want out of a Radiohead album in 2016.

TBH (don't shoot me) on my first listen (and my first Radiohead listen overall) i found it kinda boring. I have yet to really listen again but I feel like it'll grow on me. I bet I'd like it more if Bottomless Pit didn't really sweep it away, lol. I'm going to revisit it soon, it reminded me more of an ongoing overture than an album. Though my opinions normally do change. I'm curious to see how this album resonates with me in the future.

As a fan of Radiohead I was definitely impressed with this album. It did take me a few tracks to pick up on the fact it's a more darker and personal record compared to their previous stuff, it was interesting hearing about how some of the tracks were first written a long time ago while others have been in live setlists for a while.

Fave tracks from the record, at least for me - Burn The Witch, Identikit, Ful Stop, Daydreaming and The Numbers. But personally it bodes well as an album, in a very classic Radiohead sound.

I know it has been around since way before this album, but True Love Waits is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and this album's version is the definitive one for me.

The rest of the album is hauntingly beautiful as well. I wasn't a major Radiohead fan before this, but it has me listening through their earlier albums.
