So it came out a day early. Hurrah!

 

Just had the first listen through. First impressions are pretty great, though I will say I'm preferring the second side at the moment. It took a good few listens before In Rainbows really clicked, I'm interested to see how this will develop.

Well...same as in Rainbows this is gonna take a few listens. It's definately got a lot going on and therefore needs attention paying for the first half of the album. As it slows down I've enjoyed it more...

LOVING Codex (chord changes are sublime and is up there with Videotape from In Rainbows) and Give up the Ghost is wonderful. Separator (last track) is frickin' beautiful too.

 

Needs headphones more than ever though. And there doesn't seem anything as euphoric as 15step. Again, it's a different album. Again it's Radiohead never standing still anymore.

On probably my 5th listen now. Even as a massive, massive Radiohead fan I was still a bit 'wtf?' at first, but I'm truly loving it now. It's reminding me a lot of The Eraser, Amnesiac b-sides and In Rainbows (a bit). It's not what I was expecting from them anyway! If anybody's not keen on it first time round, you'll appreciate it much more on a second listen!

 

Little By Little is awesome, but I think Separator is my favourite at the moment. It's so damn pretty!
