that employs its last two transcendental minutes to addendum a "no i'm not"

It's definitely more of a pop record than Suspiria, which I enjoyed. His stuff is usually pretty good and am glad to have it around to listen to once in awhile.

It's a decent album but I'm definitely finding his voice weaker and reedier these days. Compare to the excellent vocal performances on The Eraser.

Liked this album a lot, especially "Not the News".Above video has its audio stretched out or something to avoid an auto takedown, I guess. Don't judge the voice on that!

He does put on a few different voices as he did with Eraser, though maybe not with the same gusto here. For me the tunes just ain't there - though somewhat ironically Dawn Chorus, which is the most 'mood piece' of them all, is the one that's stuck with me the most.

So this is great
It sounds to me like Yorke listened to Syro a lot before going into the studio for this

Tbh his voice started to show a certain weariness since Hail to the Thief. That was the first album in which his higher sustained notes started to lose their shine, they kind of vibrate making it sound a bit whiny here and there. He has recurred to sing in a mostly lower tone since then or doesn’t sustain the higher notes as much.

damn thom yorke and i have the same favorite REM song
― Mommy...can I go out and VAPE tonight? (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 24 September 2019 14:15 (four years ago) link
i was surprised that "talk about the passion" didn't feature in the rem poll as it is by far my fave from murmur.

BREAKING: thom yorke potentially LIED about his favorite REM song in the Desert Island track selections posted just above. BREAKING: in the video clip below, he says his favorite REM song is "South Central Rain". BREAKING: yorke claims that his favorite REM song is "always changing". should we believe him now? how many different "favorite" REM songs does he have?

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
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 2 October 2019 16:03 (four years ago) link
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:

listen to anima.
then go back and listen to tomorrow's modern boxes.
it's a lot better than you remember it now, isn't it?
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Thursday, 3 October 2019 16:23 (four years ago) link
TMB is my favorite after The Eraser
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 3 October 2019 16:29 (four years ago) link
it's a good point that the rush to call Anima his best was just weirdly wide and fast.
― maffew12, Thursday, 3 October 2019 16:40 (four years ago) link
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.
― Frederik B, Friday, 4 October 2019 18:59 (four years ago) link
I enjoy most of his work with and without Radiohead but I’ve found I don’t come back to it as often.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 4 October 2019 19:35 (four years ago) link
Amok is great. Up there with my favourite Radiohead.
― dinnerboat, Friday, 4 October 2019 19:52 (four years ago) link
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.
