Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool

Zhanteimi · 05-09-2016, 04:41 AM

Just listened to it with a whiskey double in my hand. I loved it, but....like all Radiohead albums thus far, it failed to touch me deep down in my I-get-chills-and-cry-at-music spot. That being said, I think it's brilliant.

One thing struck me, though, and I could be totally wrong about this because I just listen to music casually. I'm not a critic...unlike their earlier works, this album doesn't have a cohesive musical voice. This isn't a criticism, just noting the contrast.

Having said that, there is a sublime moment of cohesion between "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief" and "True Love Waits".
