It's such a sexy song.
I'll forgive you 'cause you have a Deadwing avatar.
Can't mention Nude without posting this cover for hard drives an old computer equipment.

I'll accept that.
I really, really love this album on initial listen. I don't think that has so much to do with it being "what I expected" as much as it is it being what I've been "wanting" for a long time.
In terms of defying and subverting expectations I don't think Radiohead has truly provided anything remotely as substantial on that front since Kid A. The pivotal focus of Radiohead's instrumentation and structure was blown wide open with that album once it landed, and with In Rainbows it felt like the band had only really "returned" to balance efforts which Hail to the Thief already married decently (even if under a very political pretext). I don't think much after that could feasibly "surprise" me that much.
The King of Limbs didn't end up being something I had expected, but I never came around to loving that album because the surprise came about due to it feeling like an effort made on autopilot. It felt like a more repetitive, slightly cheaper made album than anything else they've done, and as a result lacked a lot of organic elements which were signature to Radiohead throughout just about all of their albums, including Pablo Honey.
Thankfully that returns with this album which feels really varied while still different to previous efforts in a way I'm 100% okay with. It honestly feels like an album that the band could have composed some time during the Kid A era but with a more liberal use of instrumentation they've embraced since In Rainbows, and I love that. It's something I know they do really well.
I've always felt like Radiohead weren't even remotely close to exhausting their potential of providing another album that can be considered a "classic", and this is no exception. This is possibly my favorite album from them since Amnesiac. It's melodic, moody, rich and beautiful.
Yeah I'm confused. I was always under the assumption that was one of the tracks on In Rainbows that was commonly considered one of the more universally liked ones.

Another moment of appreciation for Daydreaming please
I know someone who's favourite album is Pablo Honey, and his favourite song is Thinking About You. He hates OKC, and hasn't bothered listening to anything after it.

Man, I really do love True Love Waits. So much.
More I listen to it, it's hard not to fall in love with it even more. So much personal meaning here for its making, whether it's Thom or Nigel.
I can understand why I see one or two people disappointed with how it turned out following the I Might Be Wrong EP - I was the same when Videotape was changed from that awesome 2006 live version to the final studio version (though I came love to that, even if I have a preference for the 2006 version) - and I love that version.
But man, this version is magical in almost every sense of the word - the fact it was written, the fact that after 20 years since it debuted, the fact it finally exists in a proper studio form and the fact there is some incredibly personal context to the song now to the point they finally found a way for the song to make a Radiohead album and finally make sense.
I truly believe when all is said and done (and I really bloody hope this isn't it yet - a few more albums before calling it) and given time that this truly will be up there in the top ten best Radiohead songs ever list.
Gonna give more detailed album thoughts after a few more listens (only had two listens so far), but for me so far: easily top five at least. May even have a great chance of cracking top three.

Ah, I still gotta do that too. Thanks for the reminder.
How fucking awesome is it that PTA made a Radiohead video. It was bound to happen, but still!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Tinker is the best song on the album. Yeah I said it.
Guys, I can't get True Love Waits outta my head. I just can't.
I love the contrast between the live version and this one - the live version sounds like a heartfelt declaration of blooming love, a sort of soundtrack to infatuation, while this one sounds like a lament, a desperate plea to hold on to a love that's fading, the soundtrack to a breakup.
It's quite an emotional gutpunch, IMHO.

Just finished the album. Really loved it. Great walking/driving music.
Am I the only one who was reminded of Beck's Sea Change?

I just wanna give Thom a hug. And I need a hug after that song. Everyone needs a hug.
My girlfriend of three years and I broke up in January, and Radiohead was our favorite band in the world. I met her because she did an amazing portrait of Thom Yorke. So hearing True Love Waits with that emotion really hit me.

Yeah, PTA and the whole Radiohead finally working together is amazing.
And the final product is incredible!

Didn't know that. I really need to start listening to the members' side gigs then.
I first picked up on the orchestra similarities but True Love Waits was such a gutpunch everything started clicking together. This really is a personal album.
