What did people on /mu/ think of Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool?
>>65732589
>super late to the discussion
We were blown away by the quality of the album
>>65732687
Yeah, a little late. What was the overall favorite song?
>>65732589
>Best: Glass eyes
>worst: desert island disk
>underrated: tinker tailor ect ect
>overrated: ful stop
>>65732589
puts me to sleep
>>65732717
don't listen to >>65732687
most people thought it was bad and a few plebs thought it was one of radiohead's best albums
it's like they're regressing into coldplay territory
>>65732857
Epic.
>>65732589
I hate it.
I've also never listened to it and never plan on listening to it.
>>65732589
7/10 At first. 9.1/10 since p4k review.
>>65732887
kek
Decks Dark is probably my favourite right now
Handful of 10/10 moments on identikit ... In fact I can't think of many songs that have so many "it arrived" moments like this What a very well constructed track!
It's good. Everyone here likes to hate on it because "muh contrarianism", but it's a good album.
100/10 for me, and pretty much everyone outside of /mu/ loved it, so I don't get the hate
its bad... and I mean BAD
>>65733150
It's because everyone here is an autistic contrarian who has an intrinsic hate for anything deemed "popular".
>>65732589
No but actually it's a 9/10 album. Glass Eyes --> Identikit --> The Numbers --> Present Tense is truly great.
If they weren't doing their stupid alphabetized tracklist bullshit they could have switched Identikit and Ful Stop and the Glass Eyes/Ful Stop combo would have been the Faust Arp/Reckoner of this album and would have been just as good
Identikit and Decks Dark are pretty great, but the rest of the album is forgettable.
>>65732589
They lost me at King Of Limbs and this one sounds exactly like it to me
amazing
9/10
>>65732687
>We
speak for yourself
I liked TKoL better. This one was a big disappointment.
Decent 7/10
I feel like something is still lacking.
Maybe it's Jonnys crazy aggressive guitar playing that's missing but then again i also really like Kid A and there wasn't a lot of that on that record.
Their music just sounds so "clean" these days
i hated those boring and bland folky songs but the rest is fantastic
Too friendly.

My favorite track on this one was Present Tense. the earlier version of that song was 8/10 but with the refinements of AMSP it is an easy 9/10
>>65732589
Completely forgettable
Dull. But not so bad. Those who call this aoty are just autist. There are much better album in this year so far.
boring
Kid A>In Rainbows>OK Computer>The Bends>A Moon Shaped Pool>Amnesiac>Hail to the Thief>The King of Limbs>Pablo Honey
imo Decks Dark and Daydreaming were the only songs on par with their best albums, sorry.
I like King of Limbs as a whole more than this album.
>>65732717
Most people i've seen like Present Tense the most. That's my favourite at least.
>>65735004
Kid A>In Rainbows>A Moon Shaped Pool=OK Computer>Hail to the Thief>Amnesiac>The King of Limbs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pablo Honey
strong-strong beefy huge 7 at release, since grown to a light to decent 8. it's radiohead, it's good. vinyl's coming in the mail tomorrow, anyone who thought the cover art was disappointing look at this goddamn gatefold
>>65732589
AMSP is an achievement. It's mainly an achievement in that it's another very good album.
IMO it had it's weaknesses. True Love Waits doesn't have any energy and even Thom's vocals are a bit weak on the track. They don't feel as creative either.
I think Daydreaming, Identikit and The Numbers did their job. I'm satisfied but i'm not someone who kneels before the altar of Radiohead anyway desu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr5v4sSRm0s :Listen to this if you're still dealing with your AMSP-overplay hangover.
>>65735004
>>65735094
>AMSP>TKOL
Autistic pleb detected.
>>65733152
don't cut yourself on that edge
>>65733719
How does this sound anything like TKOL you absolute retard?
/mu/ loved this shit at first but you know, ts summer and this place is full of contrarians
>>65735301
they're both aggressively boring?
comfy/10 a little bland
Glass eyes is goat
Great album
>>65735094
>>65735195
>Hail to this Thief that low
Kid A > In Rainbows > Hail to the Thief > OK Computer > Amnesiac > The Bends = A Moon Shaped a Pool (Havent given it enough time tho) > TKOL >>>>>>>>> Pablo Honey
>>65735004
In Rainbows = Kid A > OKC > TKOL > AMSP > HTTT > Amnesiac > The Bends > Pablo
>>65735429
or maybe the hype is just dying down
>>65737264
Nah, its still overwhelmingly positive.
>>65737264
this, people were legitimately angry over pw getting such low reviews when it first came out and a majority of the threads were full of decent praise for it
now you can't make a pw thread without it turning into "FARTY SYNTHS xd", 21 pilots, or nickelodeon spam
>>65735035
good taste
>>65735004
Agreed.
>>65737217
This. Only correct.
>>65732589
It's pretty middle of the road Radiohead for me at this point. My opinion on Radiohead albums fluctuate a lot though. Maybe 7-7.5/10
It's a solid 8/10 for me, not as good as some of their others but still a strong comeback after a long hiatus.
> anyone actually go out and pick up a copy today?
> anyone actually hang at a record store today to listen to the broadcast?
> I was there right at the start of the broadcast and literally the store was empty except for employees
>>65737995
I went and there a lot people picking it up and enjoying the tunes. And btw this is houston where vinyls arent as sought out like in austin
>>65737546
>>65737575
Amnesiac that low?
;(
Pretty good, don't think there are any songs from it that are among my top 5 radiohead songs though
Songs I wasn't impressed with:
>Burn The Witch
>Daydreaming
>Desert Island Disk
Other then those three, pretty good
>>65735004
Kid A> Amnesiac> OK Computer= In Rainbows> TKoL=AMSP> HTTT= The Bends> Pablo Honey
>>65732717
Consensus seems to be BTW, Decks Dark, Ful Stop, Identikit, and Present Tense being standouts, while people are divided on the new version of True Love Waits (I prefer the original version)
>>65732589

>>65733060
The last verse of Exit Music is the quintessential "it arrived" moment in a Radiohead song
>those drums calling it in
>dat fuzzy bass
>"NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW, WE ARE ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IN EVEEERRRLASTIINNNNGG PEAAAAACCEEEEEE"
fugg
>>65734448
His solo at the end of Identikit is definitely a return to form, but that's really the only instance except for maybe the end of Decks Dark
>>65732589
absolutely haram
>>65732717
I might be the only person of this board to think this, but "Desert Island Disk" was my favourite.
>>65735004
Switch The Bends and HTTT and this is literally my list
>>65741168
People are so fucking dumb.
