Pretty sure this discussion came up in another thread recently, but this could be Thom's best album vocally. Probably this or In Rainbows

Be a world child, form a circle

Before we all

Go under...




Been obsessed with Street Spirit again lately, that’s gotta be their best closing track right? And a top 5 RH song overall.

Finally working my way through Radiohead's discog, starting at the beginning. FUCK Street Spirit is amazing. I love the build in (Nice Dream), starts off just as a good acoustic track then gets weird. It's funny...not including Planet Telex, this album starts off much more in the vein of Pablo (more traditional arrangements, upbeat/more positive, pretty radio friendly) and the about halfway thru the album it starts sounding a little more eerie & experimental like OK Computer.

I'm really excited to keep going forward, I've listened to OK about 5 or 6 times now but I still don't think I'm ready to give it a rating yet. I can say it's better than The Bends at least. Eager to get to In Rainbows and Moon Shaped Pool

Yes, In Rainbows is bliss, but I love Hail To The Thief for its White-Album-like diversity and all-over-the-placeness too. It has some of their all time best tracks. Great band anyway!

Oh and, Blow Out on Pablo Honey is soooooooo good too! People tend to forget it. Great guitar work and drumming.

Yeah that's one of my favs on Pablo. I was surprised at how decent Pablo was, I was expecting trash based on the avg. Prove Yourself was also really good

Agreed! It has some very nice moments. Just pales in comparison with the rest.

Just an incredibly consistent album. Only track I don’t really like is High and Dry.

Sulk is actually one of the weaker tracks for me. Also don't care for Bones, the hook gets a little grating

Agreed about Bones. High & Dry just has so many memories for me.

The guitar on my iron lung is annoying in a good way
