Amsp is a mess and is probably the most infuriating radiohead album in many ways but the few really good songs on there are better than anything on here by a mile

it is 100% Radiohead they just didn't want the pressure of calling it Radiohead, which shows you even they aren't confident in their own material

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Someone told me they're amazing live and thinks Thom and Jonny wanted to keep making music together without the baggage of the Radiohead name. I know other band members wanted to pursue their own projects/solo careers.

In any case, it's an interesting side project and a lighter listen than most Radiohead, I guess expecting less of the listener while still being unique and well written/composed. Not for everyone but I overall really like it.

Their Pulled Apart by Horses is much better live than the previous versions from Radiohead or Thom Yorke imo, and Bending Hectic was great. Next album might be even better than this but we'll see.

Was at the show last night as well! This album was made for a live audience. I really liked this album, but now I have a better appreciation for it. They fuckin killed it
