You guys are supposed to wait until twilight before scratching for scandals.

i really like this record btw, i keep rewatching the excellent netflix film and then coming back to the album and finding a lot to love

for some reason i have difficulty describing it but it's like yorke finally synthesized all of his influences from dance music into something that actually ominously bangs
On REM I think he also said “Be Mine” was his favorite and he even covered it with REM. There’s a rehearsal video on youtube which makes me wish they had recorded it in the studio:

TMB is my favorite after The Eraser

it's a good point that the rush to call Anima his best was just weirdly wide and fast.

not to say that anima isn't super dope, because it is. it's just a really dense album and i didn't actually enjoy it until like the fifth listen.
still think eraser is his best non-band work. quickly followed by amok.

The two Radiohead related albums I enjoy post Amnesiac is King of Limbs and Amok.

I enjoy most of his work with and without Radiohead but I’ve found I don’t come back to it as often.

Amok is great. Up there with my favourite Radiohead.

only band i've probably listened to more in the last decade is king krule.

I'd just like to say I Am a Very Rude Person is a great little song.

Also I've got tickets to see him at the Eventim Appollo in June. Has anyone seen his live show?
― chap, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 13:19 (four years ago) link
I saw him in Berkeley’s Greek (outdoor amphitheater) last month and my wife (who isn’t a huge fan of his solo work) and I both enjoyed it immensely. Set list was perfect, light show was cool, and I really enjoyed the transitions between songs.
