My desert island Radiohead album. Not their masterpiece but it’s the one with all the best bits from all the other albums.

Backdrifitng, Young Blood, Scatterbrain let the side down. Backdrifitng has a particular nails on blackboard shrillness to it.

I like all of those tbh. Think the record as a whole just fits in my head really nicely

I’ve softened on Young Blood over the years, but it’s probably still my least favourite of their piano led pieces. Sail to the Moon is far better.

the last three tracks on both TKoL and AMSP are the best ones on each

Scatterbrain is low-low-key the best one on the album

also I love We Suck Young Blood’s clammy traipse

and the honeycomb catacomb vocal processing and piano part of Backdrifting

(really chuffed with ‘clammy traipse’, nobody’s ever summed up that song more accurately and concisely)

(sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back)

I just find it a bit dreary. Maybe I’ll listen again with the phrase ‘clammy traipse’ in mind and see if it clicks

Love TKOL

I found their (seemingly maligned) set at the Park from Glastonbury 2011 INCREDIBLE

they’d never played TKOL stuff live before, or had the 2 drummer set up previously so it felt pretty cool to see them do that stuff for the first time (I really liked the album on release)

I’ve probably said that before on here… but I do like to defend this album, and that show in particular.

Yep. I had mates watching that who hadn’t listened properly since OKC and just wanted “a couple of hits”. Told em to get fucked.

Punch Up is brilliant, just sort of meanders around doing its thing really maliciously but understated for ages, but it’s also really melodic and has loads of the sort of arrangement stuff that would feature very heavily on In Rainbows happening too.

Love the delayed guitar crunches that come in after the chorus

And of course then it piles into Myxomatosis, which is a great move of sequencing
