A real downer so it’s EXCELLENT

This is a real downer so it’s the best for crying at 3am in the morning. ٩(^‿^)۶

Nice

Turned up my nose at new Radiohead stuff for a while.
Listened to this on the plane and loved it.
Very mellow but at the same time experimental.
If you expect “The Bends” you won’t get it.
What you will get is some heart felt tunes that sound a million miles away from the band’s origin.
Ear candy.

Hauntingly Beautiful

Yet again Radiohead have demonstrated their ability to inspire and move people in a way very few bands can. AMAZING! Thank you Radiohead!

Amazing!

Radiohead deliver once again with a collection of sonic perfection, its staggers me how I went so far through life without knowing their music but rest assured that this album is a work of perfection. Every song is great but my favourites are Glass Eyes & Present Tense for the sheer beauty of the composition, instrumentals and lyrics all with that unmistakable Radiohead sound. Buy it, gift it, Love it ;)

My Favourite Album of the Year

Once again, Radiohead creates a fantastic and legendary album. It combines Thom Yorke's melancholic sounding lyrics with a more classical genre adding to Radiohead's shape-shifting and alternate style of rock we all know and love.

Disappointed

So here's a different review to the rest. First I am a big fan of Radiohead up until I bought this. The opening track Burn the Witch is brilliant and then it descends into self indulgent drudge. I've been disappointed too often, given up hoping for a return to the days of OK computer and the false dawn that was Hail to the Thief, well and truly gone this just underlines it for me.

Beautiful

Another monster piece from an extraordinary band that we are blessed to share time-space with.
Thom's voice sounds like he's still somewhere in the 90's (young) and the music is as exploratory as it always is.
Beautiful work.

Flawless

Unbelievable. Best album of 2016 so far without a doubt. Every single track on this album is a masterpiece in different ways and they are written and composed very well. It's very dark and gloomy and haunting and it seems like you're in an eerie dream the whole way through. Radiohead never fail to achieve what is expected.

Emperors new clothes

Sheep. If Radiohead were a new band on the scene this album would be panned. And I rate Radiohead as an exceptional band too, or did do. This is not the innovative music I expect of them. Like REM before them, this is the beginning of the end… they should know better.

Sublime, haunting, beautiful

I'd say this is definitely the best album of the last decade, if not longer. Lie down, plug in your headphones, press play and escape from any hell.

painfully beautiful and evocative…flawless and powerful, reminiscent of Kate Bush’s 50 Words for Snow in it’s lazy and languid style

Number One

It’s simple - this is slowly revealing itself to be Radiohead’s best album. Buy it.

perfect

I’ve listened to this very many times since purchase. It’s a beautiful piece of work. Complex arrangements and transcendent vocals. - you can watch thom playing the tracks alone on an acoustic on you tube, if you want to see how the songs originated. I love the use of strings and there seems to be a nod towards Gainsborough and Melody Nelson (or am i the only one hearing it.

Genius!

I've never been bothered to write any kind of review before but some how felt compelled to write this one.
It's a album to be listened from beginning till the end as you are following some sort of melodic storyline.
Absolutely gorgeous!

Stunning, simply beautiful

Thom and the boys have created a stunning album of beautiful songs, with Desert Island Disk a classic already.
A slight departure from the last couple of albums with more emphasis on stripped back vocals and sweeping string arrangements.

Perfection!

Rarely does an album achieve such an accolade. Can't fault it. Love it already. Know I will love it for many years to come. Thank you.

Radiohead have always possessed the ability to transcend space and time and take you to the dark side of the moon. This is simply epic.

No need to conform to the norm

Distinctly Radiohead on a journey of discovery a great blend of music for a true awakening.

Much better than TKOL

Great album. The Bends and OK Computer are my favourites. My friend doesn't agree but I preferred this to In Rainbows also. Defiantly my 4th favourite album by them (Kid A just coming a little in front)

Good but not King of Limbs

Love this album but they have to be brilliant to better King of Limbs !!!

How much?

I don't care how good an album is, a digital download should be no more than £4 - £5. Any wonder why all the kids download for free - greedy labels and bands are destroying the album. Don't get me started on Spotify.

It's one of the best feelings in the world when you play a new album for the first time and you're blown away by every song.

Downhill all the pretentious way

This band peaked 19 years ago, down hill since, and this is no better than the other pretentious miserablist rubbish they have been putting out for nearly two decades now. Cheer up, get a life and lsiten to something more inspiring.....

Just incredible!

There are no words to describe how incredible Radiohead's music is - I just hope this album isn't their last - it really is astonishingly brilliant.

Great music, terrible quality encoding on iTunes

I'd give a 4 or 5 for the music, brilliant collection of tracks from Radiohead. What lets this down is the, frankly, shocking quality of the encoding on iTunes. This is an album that demands listening with headphones, but sadly doing that only highlights the bad encoding that iTunes uses. Quiet parts of certain tracks this is noticeable with a hissing sound and a muffled echoed on drum beats. Pretty sure this is due to the compression Apple uses.
I will be buying the CD when it's released, but couldn't wait until then so bought it off iTunes, wish I'd waited now. This has put me off buying music on iTunes :-(
Can't fault the album though, one of Radiohead's best. My advice is buy the CD instead and encode it yourself!

A Masterpiece

It took me a couple of listens but this is an absolute masterpiece. Loses a bit of steam towards the end in my opinion but the more I listen to it the more songs I like. I had one favourite track at first: Identikit, then others like: Decks Dark, Desert Island Disk, Daydreaming, Burn The Witch were gradually added. Ful Stop may be next! I think it should be listened to in its entirety.
What struck me was the lack of much guitars on this one apart from a couple of songs. And the fact that I didn't mind it at all!!

Beautiful & Fantastic

This is such a beautiful album. I just wish more people could do what these guys do. Stunning, beautiful melodies, wonderfully layered with gorgeous vocals, great baselines, guitars, tinkling piano, drums and all the other quirky sounds thrown in too. It’s just hard to pick which song is best, but Decks Dark, Identikit and Present Tense still blow me away after over 20 plays. Daydreaming and Glass Eyes are contenders too. Burn the Witch is the best upbeat dance one.

Their best yet!

Let's be honest, Radiohead are not everybodies cup of tea and sometimes, even for their own fans their music can be difficult to listen too. This album is probably their best, a stunning blend of melancholy, musical complexity, lyrical and vocal beauty. I hope this album receives the recognition it deserves!

High & Dry on actual songs!!

I know Radiohead are High & Dry on melodic tunes & now compose sounds that come close to music - but even for them, this is really dull & boring!!!
Back to Ok Computer for me I guess!

Radiohead's finest yet

This album is seriously worth a try. It was a like on the first listen and as I've seriously let it grow on me for the past 2 weeks, and can say that it's brilliant and I feel it'll be timeless as years go on.

Not great

I am huge Radiohead fan but this is a poor offering - a collection of reworked b sides at best. Gone are the times when a Radiohead album moved me (the last was In Rainbows) - this doesn't - sorry but I think it has got rave reviews just because they are "Radiohead" - let's hope the next one is a vast improvement

A weak step backwards

In Rainbows was a pleasant return to form after several mostly dull albums. King of Limbs had a few gems but otherwise couldn't keep up the standard. This album feels like a step backwards to the full days of Amnesiac. Thom drones over very weak drum beats and soft cinematic music. It's all a bit tedious and slow this time around, after the energy of the last two albums. If you like Radiohead when they are twiddling knobs and being pretentious, this one might interest you but there's not enough here for even long time fans. Sorry. Better luck next time.
