Based on their latest albums, I'm surprised they still remember what a distortion pedal is.

Agree with you.  In the last 2 shows they've rotated in:
Like Spinning Plates
Optimistic
Subterranean Homesick Alien (yeah!)
Feral

Early favorites are:

The Numbers
Ful Stop
Decks Dark
Present Tense


These have remained probably my favorites, although Identikit and Desert Island Disk are not far behind.

I find that I literally never listen to the new version of True Love Waits, and while I like Burn the Witch, I rarely listen to that either.

Finally got around to listening to this, I don't see what's so great about it.  How is this any better or special than TKOL?  Sounds like the same stuff to me.

How anyone can think this is better than The Astonishing is beyond my comprehension.

I think I said this already, but while it was a good album, it didn't have a lot of shelf life for me.  It didn't help that there were a few albums last year that blew it out of the water. and I don't have as much for music as I used to, so those other albums got a lot more attention.

I myself finally got around to it, and I'm loving it. Some orchestral dreamy songs, some songs with real instruments, and some songs that sound like they're straight from 1997. How is that anything like the repetitive click clacks and beep boops of TKOL?   ???

Hire me. I'm talentless but malleable.

Opinions and tastes can be very confusing.

To compare this to The Astonishing is kind of like saying "How can anyone like that well-done steak over this golden-brown peach cobbler!?"

I mean really, what is even the point of that?  :lol Also what Nel said...How in the heck is this even close to being what TKOL is? Again, steak and cobbler. Or apples and oranges. I like steak and cobbler better.

I was pretty vocal about how much I love TKOL. Still do. I also love this. What I love most about my favorite bands is diversity. Any band can stick to a routine that easily works. It takes some true innovation and talent to stick to a general core and atmosphere while still changing the game up and creating something that comes out of left field.

This album is drastically different than The King of limbs. There are hardly any samples, electronic beats or energetic grooves like on Feral, Morning Mr. Magpie or The Lotus flower. The emphasis this time around is on piano, sensitive orchestration and melancholy, non of which was that present on The King of limbs. I actually think all those elements are way more prominent on A Moon Shaped Pool than on any other Radiohead album. Someone mentioned dreaminess - also very important this time around.

He compared A Moon Shaped Pool to The Astonishing, which makes no sense, so I did the same.

I did notice some differences like orchestrations and less complex beats, but all I'm hearing is the same sleepy mellow stuff they always do.  I guess I am not listening carefully.

https://www.oknotok.co.uk/

Yeah, I saw this yesterday. Definitely getting it (the regular vinyl edition, that is), moreso because I do not own a copy of OK Computer on Vinyl yet.

---

On a side note, I made a playlist for Radiohead songs that features most of favourite tracks. I have been listening to this one for about two months now and I must say that I am quite happy with the flow of the entire thing. I tried to not make it too long and make sure it has a good flow to it as well. As you can see, most of the tracks in there are about at the same place they would be on their respective albums. Here's the playlist for everyone interested. Try it out, if you like :) :

Planet Telex
Airbag
Pyramid Song
My Iron Lung
The National Anthem
Ful Stop
Weird Fishes / Arpeggi
Karma Police
There, There
Creep
Paranoid Android
Idioteque
Life in a Glasshouse
Videotape
True Love Waits

Some stuff flows really well, I think (Paranoid Android -> Idioteque for instance). I couldn't decide on some things, mainly on openers and closers, so I took two openers and picked my three favourite album closers in a row (Sorry, Street Spirit :( ). I also like how this playlist moves from guitar-based songs to their more electronic stuff, almost gradually. The only song I'm not really sure about on this track-listing is Creep, but I kind of wanted to have at least something from Pablo Honey. On the other hand, I have nothing from TKOL either, and only one track from HTTT.

This is not really a 'top 15' Radiohead track-listing, but I just tried making a consistent playlist of their music, spanning the entire catalogue. It just happens to contain a bunch of my personal favourites, but I've also left out quite a couple (Reckoner & Everything in its Right Place for instance).

Anyway, do with it what you want :tup the playlist works very well for me!

I could easily make a RH playlist of 15-20 of my favorite songs, and every song would be great, but I'd be leaving off way too many. 

Or I could just listen to all of In Rainbows, bonus tracks and all, and be in heaven.  :hat

^ Yeah, but my goal was to make some sort of career spanning playlist that both flows well and isn't too long. With that in mind, I think I did quite well. But, by all means, give it a shot. It'll be a fun new listening experience surely :)

I'm really sad Atoms For Peace only did one album as that album still gets spun pretty often by me. But hearing a new solo album is coming out mends that a bit.

Feels like there are less Radiohead fans here now than was before :(, but if anyone cares, the band has been uploading concerts from over the years to their official YT.  Really good look and sound on all of the ones I have seen thus far. Some great stuff.  The one from the in Rainbows tour in the late 00's is pretty terrific.

Yeah, I've given A Moon Shaped Pool a few fresh spins lately and it is aging well.  Probably still doesn't crack my Radiohead top 5, but that is no shame considering how great the majority of their albums are. Even their least best albums like Pablo Honey and Amnesiac are quite good.
