I'm travelling in Europe right now. About to listen to this record for the first time. Something tells me I'll remember my first listen. While riding the ICE train from Frankfurt to Berlin.
The only time I stop listening to this is to listen to James Blake and the only time I stop listening to James Blake is to listen to this. Those two artists dropping surprise albums the same weekend was almost too much for me to handle. Ha
Will require more time but yes this is way better than KOL. And yeah me too I'll always remember when i heard this for the first time for sure. Glad I waited until now to listen. Radiohead make such great headphones music.
This album is kind of the love child between Amnesiac, In Rainbows and Kid A with a bit of some of their other albums in it. I'd definitely try and go through their stuff chronologically at least from OKC and it'll probably be easier to get; AMSP isn't really a great starting point. At the very least In Rainbows, which is also a perfect album if you haven't gotten around to it.
I think TKOL is underrated. I love how dark and groove-based it is. But I like this album way more and will listen to it way more regularly I think.
Super fucking jazzed about the openers even though I won't get close to seeing a show of theirs this year. This is fucking huge for Dawn of Midi, I hope they gain some much-deserved recognition from the tour.
Been binging their stuff the last 24 hours. Finally listened to disc 2 of Amnesiac which is pretty awesome.

Pablo Honey sure is a chore to get through haha, maybe four songs I like. I remember why I don't listen to it anymore. Okay now I can go back to this album
Spent the day listening to Terminal Redux by Vektor to try and not overplay this. Anyone who likes metal, that album is up there for AOTY already. Now back to Present Tense on repeat
I've been a bit sick and unable to be very active, which has been driving me crazy. Last night I decided to get out of the house, and I listened to this for the first time as I walked through the woods. It was ideal. It's definitely going to take a bit to fully digest it all, but as of right now, I love it.
Decks Dark, Daydreaming, Glass Eyes, and True Love Waits all kill me. This is the fastest ive every loved a Radiohead album. im definitely a casual fan and usually it takes me a good few listens for their records to stick for me, but this is just grabbing me.
These are probably my top 3 but I love the whole record. The numbers have grown on me a bit, I really like the choir parts on that song, also the bass grooves pretty heavily on that song.. The end with the string crescendo is pretty sweet as well
