Moon Shaped Pool vs In Rainbows

[jtree_]

well i mean every song on that album rules so i dont really have a problem with that. jigsaw is probably interchangeable with some other songs on there depending on the day, but i'll always love the shit out of nude.

 

That "You'll go to hell..." part in Nude totally brings my opinion of it down.  It sounds generic of Exit Music.  

[seabutter]

the top 3 songs on in rainbows are reckoner, nude and arpeggi for me. were all in my top 10 last time I made a top radiohead songs list

[savemefromthedark]

[shep proudfoot]

the tones in nude are just so warm and gorgeous. i just want to bask in that shit

[snow]

I love how the end sounds like the little mermaid

[geese]

nude and jigsaw are the best songs on IR

 

yes

 

i will not stand for dismissiveness toward jigsaw

 

one of the most perfect songs they ever did.

[Razor Bikini]

Nude is literally the best song ever.

and this is dumb. the note he hits during thiiiiinnnkkkkinngg is so great

I can't help it.. as soon as that part arises I think of the song Exit Music... I want to love the whole album but I have several moments like this throughout.  

[geese]

 

i was at this concert.

 

see the smug look on that motherfucker's face at 2:18? he knows what he's just done to the hearts of tens of thousands of people.

[jtree_]

Don't get me wrong, compared to most other music, it's a great album.  But by RH standards, A Pool in The Shape of A Moon is the more innovative, enjoyable album IMO - and my 10 scale is based on it.

At this point for me, defo Burn The Witch and possibly Ful Stop only would be on a best of album made up of IR and MSP. And if you included the CD2 of IR in the mix, then possibly only BTW would make it.

a best of the last three albums:

 

ful stop

weird fishes

lotus flower

reckoner

the numbers

bloom

jigsaw

present tense

nude

true love waits

 

 

a best of the other three:

 

everything

i might be wrong

idioteque

scatterbrain

where i end

packt

how to disappear

there there

morning bell

myxomatosis

pyramid song

spinning plates

 

 

a best of the other three:

 

airbag

just

paranoid android

fake plastic

lucky

blow out

planet telex

AMSP 10/10 (or above) songs

 

Present tense

Burn the witch

Decks Dark

[Identity 1051]

early days yet, but at this stage i think AMSP is a vastly superior album - I love in rainbows for its warmth and I think its probably the most accessible and dare I say it 'poppy' Radiohead album but AMSP feels like a real collection of turmoil.

 

IR captures a brief period and a certain type of mood but AMSP has tecnhically been over 20 years in the making and feels like it - I have listened way too many times already and am at the point where I think I'm going to start finding holes all over it but everywhere I expect there to be a hole it's filled with something beautiful - just the texture of it all, the submission to melody, all of it - fell in love on first listen in a way similar to In Rainbows but I think AMSP is a rabbit hole you can just let yourself fall down.

[babydoctor]

I really dunno man. I'd enjoy in rainbows less if I put it on right this second, that's all I know.

I was exceedingly lukewarm on In Rainbows when it came out. And I was wronger than wrong.

[Laguna Sunrise]

I really dunno man. I'd enjoy in rainbows less if I put it on right this second, that's all I know.

 

this is how i feel about pretty much about every other album right now, and AMSP's novelty/freshness/uniqueness would be a lazy, vastly insufficient explanation. all i know is that the other LPs wouldn't give me enough of what this album has to offer. neither In Rainbows nor TKoL made me experience that when they came out (and i was ridiculously excited about the former). it's redifining so many things about the band for me.
