I think the principles of hypnagogia and vaporwave around memories and lost dreams come through heavily on Anima

@tunaboy I don’t think that’s a pretentious thing to acknowledge lol, and I agree. Thom has always been a disciple of bleeding edge electronica, and especially with where we’re at globally—the slow-motion collapse of a simulated society we can’t help but perpetuate, in which information has no meaning—I can’t see him okaying a final statement from a band he *knows* is “legendary” without there being a focus on music-as-fragmentation, fragmentation-as-music. Now maybe *this* is pretentious. Lol

I jest, I do actually believe what I said.
I don't think Thom and co are so concerned about Radiohead's meta-narrative and mythology as to consciously make an album that says "this is the final album" (like a Blackstar) but who knows. If anything I'd say AMSP does that by including so many fan favourites and closing with fucking True Love Waits, a song first played 21 years prior.

Oh no, I don’t think he’s concerned with legacy for legacy’s sake. Nor do I think Radiohead will break the studio fourth wall—ever. Just that their next/final release will sound radically different, and I bet it’ll spark a lot of pointless discourse on sub-genres nobody understands

Investing in Radiohead lore is pretty much like being in QAnon—it destroys relationships, it draws you into an alienated world, it invests you with a sense of some secret knowledge—except in the end, when you finally stop obsessing over them and accepting it’s just great music, it makes you saner

I was definitely more invested in the Radiohead lore a few years back. Now I just do it when I want to wind my friends up, usually to the response of "fuck off we get it you like Radiohead"
It's all just a bit of fun

Radiohead lore was most fun from 2004-2012, especially the whole hubbub around “KOL2”. But my partner happens to like the band; and I rarely listen to them these days, so it’s all for fun, exactly, and that’s how they entered into my tapestry of dead mythologies.
@Colton: yeah, it’s a shame what they did to TLW. The studio version is fine, but why couldn’t it have been an extra somewhere down the road? But what they did to that song pales in comparison to what they did to Videotape, IMO. You listen to the version of Videotape from Bonnaroo ‘06 and it’s just heartbreaking how much room there was for a more nuanced, lush, passive-aggressive studio version.
Also that whole show, Bonnaroo ‘06, may be their best live show full stop.

haven’t heard that, idk if Videotape needs to be more lush in the context of In Rainbows, the relative sparsity of it works well because the album as a whole is pretty lush and it makes the lyrics hit harder
