Now that the dust has settled and I've listened to it over 25 times, what do you guys think?
Personally, I'm blown away by this album. It seems to take so much away from their other albums without being alike. I don't understand how this band can continue to much such great music from such different perspectives.

It's got some good moments to it but there doesn't seem to be enough substance to make it anywhere as good as In Rainbows. Still miles better than The King of Limbs though, so at least they're moving in the right direction.
bland and blurry folky songs with some synths here and there, it does have some great moments th
7/10
the worst thing about this album was Thom Yorke... what the fuck happened to your voice dude
Like the album, but not many great songs, it averages around 6.5-7 at most, I'd probably give it a 7-7.5. Glass Eyes is Radiohead's best track, though, fight me.

I like the way he's taken his voice, it doesn't have the same presence and strength as it used to, but it's arguably more expressive. His cadence on Glass Eyes is just crushing, it's so close to speech, it's very uncomfortable.

well, the present tense sounds fantastic i give you that

I didn't really like it at all first go through, then I started noticing little unexplainable things I pick out and enjoy a lot. The more I listen to songs like Daydreaming the better and more complex it gets. Going off of what >>65683615 said, I think Thom's voice is absolutely perfect on this track and the rest of the album. He never sounds out of place on these songs, they cater to an obviously aging voice.

that pairs up well with the bloops in daydreaming.

I think his voice sounds fine. It's definitely aged but instead of trying to sing the way he used to and failing, he's singing differently to use it to the best of his ability. Whether that new style is your cup of tea or not is another story of course, but I like it and would rather him sing like that than aim for his old voice and sound like shit.
comfy/10 beautiful and scary at times but not too many great songs, KoL was better in my opinion... and i know i'm the only one who says that
7/10, thought it was In Rainbows tier but it's gone down slightly from that. It could get there again, though, and I'm ecstatic that they managed to pull off a 7/10 kind of record again, was expecting another TKOL. Though admittedly that's grown on me.
