I might just agree with that. The Twist is jaw dropping to me as well.

Dawn Chorus is next to Daydreaming as best Thom/RH since In Rainbows

Yeah at the risk of overexplaining it wouldn’t really work with a crescendo

Well, there IS a crescendo, but a subtle one.



Not sure if I prefer it to the best tracks on KOL or MSP. There isn't much competition on his solo works though. Maybe this one's title track, I really dig that one's rhythms.

Think people are underestimating the last three tunes due to album fatigue - try them in isolation, they’re real good

The closer is still a proper snoozer for me, but Impossible Knots is growing

Dawn Chorus is one of Thom’s best songs and the easy highlight

yeah Runwayaway is kind of a dodgy Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors to me idk

Impossible Knots is undoubtedly one of the best, The Axe is growing but still feels overlong

Impossible Knots is the weakest of the last three songs for me but okay - think I'm enjoying this one in a peculiar way :P



'yeah Runwayaway is kind of a dodgy Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors to me idk'



it's way more songful and appealing than bleedin Pulk/Pull, it's more like a follow up to the GOAT 'A Wolf at the Door'

I like Twist the most. It's always a front-to-back listen for me though.

It's one I've had to listen to tracks out of order on follow up listens a bit to get out of it blurring on occasion but as I'm getting to know all the tunes better I think it'll be a front-to-back winner for me too



first track might be the weakest strangely

Think we're listening to different tracks when it comes to Runwayaway, Doof

yeah the only thing that song has in common with A Wolf at the Door is that Thom Yorke is on both lmao

gives me the same vibe as a closer, obvs it's an electronic Yorke solo and not Radiohead so...

just the way it drops and builds with the low classical instrumentation with the creepy intense vocals...it's his nastiest closer since Wolf no doubt - just like Wolf it has some light, almost airy, melodic passages but overall the song is dark as hell. The lightness is a faint, in the context it leaves you a bit queasy.



listening again and it's quite easily my favourite on this, yeah
