love this, best solo thommy

[building jumper]

The PTA short is phenomenal man

I’m speechless after watching it just now. Got chills during Dawn Chorus. The visuals and choreography on it are unreal. Excited for more PTA/Head collaborations in the future If they keep happening.

this album really slaps in the 'ol headcans

Absolutely.

I only got a chance to listen to the album once this morning on a walk but looking forward to listening to it again on my morning walk tomorrow.

[internethandle]

can someone db the pta short pls thx

[inmate]

i forgot the short came out today so it was a nice treat when i got high and went on netflix and this was the first thing that came up. blew me away

[Hugh]

The short made me feel really good about finally buying a 4K TV.

It was really refreshing to see Thom in such a personal light.

[bluemovers]

agreed.

[Grey Poupon]

I guess I've written so many hundreds of words about 'head related stuff in the past I can't be bothered giving a real lengthy appraisal of this album

after a few listens it sounds very cool, and would make excellent soundtrack/library music, but I can't ever see myself wanting to listen to it in a 'I wanna hear some songs' way like I do with proper 'head tracks

I think it's probably his best and most interesting sounding solo record and way better than atoms for peace or modern boxes
I think we're too far separated from the eraser for me to make a comparison beyond 'that one sounds like that and this one sounds like this'

[Grey Poupon]

I guess it just reinforces for my tastes, Radiohead truly are a gestalt phenomenon

[Debbie]

This is super good however I'm unsure of if it's because our in spite of sounding like Depeche mode 1999-2008

[brent]

the pta thing is awesome

the album is enjoyable

[mego]

Love the vid

The album is great but I think it’d be better if it ended with The Axe.

Impossible Knots and Runwayaway are clearly the two weakest tracks imo. Shave those off and you have a really good 38 minute album.

Actually I guess Impossible Knots isn’t a bad track on its own but it doesn’t fit the rest of he album

[forest design]

On a first run through the track that made the biggest impression was Last I Heard (...He Was Circling the Drain)

Felt like there were a good amount of recycled ideas on here - backwards tape sounds as the backbone to the beat, the gurgling, cacophony of voices, the echoed vocals that trail off almost aimlessly, etc. I guess that's an uncharitable way of putting it - maybe rather it felt like there were lots of ideas he had before that he took in different directions, which is actually kinda cool to be able to hear - Radiohead songs filtered through a slightly different lens

[terminus]

wasn't really feeling it until "twist"

good album. much better than the eraser, imo

[mego]

great news everyone! i'll be revisiting ALL solo Thom releases today then posting a FULL RANKING of Radiohead and Thom solo albums COMBINED later today

[mego]

Kid A
OK Computer
Amnesiac

TKOL
Anima
In Rainbows
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes

HTTT
A Moon Shaped Pool
Amok

The Bends
The Eraser
Pablo Honey

[mego]

pretty hard to choose between HTTT and AMSP actually. i see those albums flaws as really different because HTTT is very uneven and has some songs i really can't get into but some i really love while all of AMSP is nice enough but there are no standouts.

i can't really rank Susperia as it doesn't feel like a head release. rightly or wrongly, i can't really think of anything as part of the 'headverse when thom's vocals aren't a big part of it.

if i included b-sides then amnesiac would be above OKC

[tricksforchips]

I wish that PTA music video was longer.

[Debbie]

This is super fucking good I listened maybe 20 times this week and I barely give a shit about Radiohead in 2019

[Debbie]

The only thing that feels "recycled" is the kids "yaaaahh" sample from in rainbows which is, y know Literally recycled

[kid8]

i finally watched it with a group of friends, since for some reason they only think i listen to radiohead and nothing else, and we all loved it.

the choreography was dope, the cinematography, top notch, the theme is expected but universally relevant.

the experience is beautiful.

[Milquetoaster Strudels]

Love this album, love the PTA joint

Listening to Dawn Chorus at the airport is a great experience, would highly recommend

[Grand Epic]

AMSP has about four or five standouts.

[Debbie]

I actually don't care much for dawn chorus if I can be objective

[RIXX]

I didn’t really care for it that much either until watching it in the context of the PTA film and now i keep replaying it, it’s beautiful

[RIXX]

Thom boy how do i fall madly in love with a supermodel too

[ripersnifle]

i'm very nostalgic for HTTT as it was the first record that came out when i was a fan. had the cover art as a shirt from WASTE, etc.
actually feel like it has aged pretty well.

[mego]

I remember queuing up at HMV at midnight for HTTT. St Anger was released the same night. So many excited people full of hope and dreams
