After a few more listens, I enjoy this album, although I wouldn't classify it as excellent. Still quite good, though.

My $ .02 --

My friend gave me a copy last week. I think the songs are good, but nothing new or ground-breaking.

I love "Atoms for Peace", and I really like his vocal delivery on "Harrowdown Hill". I like when he doesn't do the same vocal style over and over (that's why I love "Wolf At The Door").

Basically, this album is VERY "Kid A", and I was kind of hoping for something different. Not that I don't love "Kid A", but I like my bands/artists to progress from album to album, and this just doesn't seem like much of a progression from "Kid A", which was made how many years ago?

Solid effort. Good songs. Nothing ground breaking.

By the way, my friend swears he hears an Aphex Twin influence on the album, Richard D. James I think is the Aphex Twin guy's name. What does everyone think about that statment? Do you hear Aphex Twin influence?

Hey fellow yorke fans, is it true that most of the songs on this album are left over b-sides from amensiac?

 

[xaviMF22]

nope, not from what I heard. Its some new stuff with and some old stuff that Thom and the band came up with.

However, I do think that a lot of the songs sound like Amnesiac B-Sides

 

[Rocky's Lover]

Yea I think it has more of a hail to the thief sound to it.

Still can't believe I haven't listened to this yet. I cracked about a week ago and tried to download a torrent, but they've removed them all it seems. I've got a question for you guys because I'm curious - how's the album holding up, now that you've had a few weeks to take it all in?

 

[LMP]

Oddly enough, I like about half the tracks on here:

Atoms for Peace
Cymbal Rush
The Eraser
Analyse
Black Swan

very similar to me liking half the tracks on Kid A

I'm very anxious to hear the new Radiohead material as well.

 

[BVS]

Well I broke down and listen to some of the leaks and so far I'm very disappointed. But I'll give it another listen or two.

I think its an exellent album... the songs sound somewhat similar to the songs on kid A, Amnesiac or songs backdrifts, the gloaming....etc

this album needs patience and time for it to grow on you...... its not very accessible

At the moment I rate the songs this way

1)The Eraser
Atoms for peace
skip divided
and it rained all night
cymbal rush
Horrowdown hill
black swan
analyse
9)the clock

Just out of curiosity what tracks do you like/dislike on Kid A?

"...it explores the kind of emotional turmoil that makes the angst of OK Computer or The Bends sound like kid stuff."

 

[joyfulgirl]

What a great review! I can't wait to get it. I love the one song you sent me, Atoms for Peace.

Every day this week, a mysterious figure will be appearing around London where he’ll be responsible for debuting tracks from Thom Yorke’s new solo album ‘The Eraser’, according to Xfm Online.

The figure will be positioned out and about around London landmarks next week. He has an iPod Shuffle built securely into him, and a pair of headphones coming out of him. Anyone listening to the headphones will be able to hear the new Thom Yorke album ‘The Eraser’ which will playing on repeat on the iPod.

According to out source, the figure will be going to visit ten of the landmarks featured on the album’s artwork - one in the morning and one in the afternoon each day from Monday July 3 to Friday July 7.

In addition, the figure will be accompanied by someone who'll able to answer questions and give information. These ‘associates’ will have all the details about the album’s release and they’ll have details of a special website where people taking pictures of the figure with their cameras and phones can upload their images.

Pretty interesting promotion there.

I saw this photo and it made me think of the great abundance of people here who are big fans of both Radiohead/the Thom record and Pink Floyd:

Don't you just love it when things just fit together like this?

It's kind of weird how much I love Radiohead and how much I dislike Pink Floyd, lol, but I'm probably in the minority.

Can't wait to get The Eraser tomorrow.

Other than liking two or three PF songs, I pretty much feel the same way.

^What she said.

I'm looking forward to finally hearing this.

That's brilliant. I'm imagining it floating between Battersea's smoke stacks and the mental image is extremely wonderful.
