Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool (May 8, 2016) Album • Page 35

it’s grown on me since it was released but the middle still has some duds. lotus flower and codex are fantastic though.

 

OK Computer
Kid A
In Rainbows
ASMP (these top 4 rotate frequently)
Amnesiac
TKOL
The Bends
HTTT
Pablo Honey

Even though HTTT is my 8th favorite, I still love that record so much. That’s just how into their discography I am

 

The King Of Limbs definitely deserves more love, "Little By Little" and "Codex" are all-timers

 

i prefer tkol rmx

 

little by little and morning mr. magpie might be their two worst album tracks since PH

 

I still need to listen to these, have been tempted to buy the vinyl singles several times if they weren't like $20 a piece at my local shop

 

In Rainbows
OK Computer
Kid A
A Moon Shaped Pool
The Bends
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief
King of Limbs
Pablo Honey

 

TKOL is easily in my top three.

 

I still haven’t really warmed up to this one, though.

ok computer should never be that low

 

it’s a super important record but it’s importance and critical impact outweigh the fact that some of the songs are pretty mediocre and the theme of the record/it’s unrelenting nature make for a tough listen.

they should have replaced electioneering with lift or man of war

 

the bends is their most underrated do not at me

 

The “theme” of OK is also not particularly well explored, in my honest opinion. Even compared to their own (later) work.

 

Nailed it (I have it at #4, but it's still a clear tier below the top 3).

Some people consider Kid A to be better as an idea than as an enjoyable listen, but that actually applies most to OKC for me. I fully understand why it's a crucial album in rock history and deserved all its accolades, but I pretty much never listen to it straight through. Kid A is a much more enjoyable and engaging listen IMO.

 

I'm into this order.

 

Kid A
In Rainbows
The King of Limbs
Hail to the Thief
Amnesiac

OK Computer
A Moon Shaped Pool

The Bends
Pablo Honey

 

They're all pretty good I don't want to rank, I guess I go back to Hail the Thief the least

Outside of the first two, which are like too different to compare

 

I think it's easy to say that today while the "theme" is even more apparent in our society, but I'd argue that it was pretty well explored for its time. And still pretty relevant.

 

yall wild as fuck for your bad OK Computer takes

Pablo Honey

 

It's my favorite so I feel like an idiot when I see it so low

 

The Bends does get unfairly overlooked sometimes or even lumped in with PH as throwaway britpop

There's a bunch of stuff on there that's sonically and texturally awesome, strongly alluding to what was coming. Unfortunately there's some skip-worthy filler like "Bones" and "My Iron Lung" that stop me from defending it full stop.

 

My Iron Lung is great and I lost my shit when I heard it live last year

 

I really really respect TKOL. More than AMSP and HttT maybe, even if I dont enjoy listening to it as much as those.

 

The Bends is great. Obviously.
