1001 Albums Summary

Very interesting clang-y percussion pattern to set things off in typical Radiohead fashion Really like the rhythm of Packt - Thom's warbly vocals are really cool Lots of really cool sound design shit going on Pretty lyrically repetitive - fine for an intro but I'd like to see a bit more variety Really cool piano and different time signature to switch things up Thom giving a really good vocal performance on this one Nice little jazzy drum breakdown - goes from really simplistic to quite a bit going on with strings in the background and stronger lyrically in my opinion - still simple but more powerful Really cool sampled beat pattern - love the alternating filters Thom sounds like an android due to the processing Simplistic but makes for a sonically interesting interlude overall Like the softer switch-up to contrast Revolving Doors Gives off an almost 40s jazz vibe Nice breakdown and another good Thom performance Drums combined with that slamming piano really carries the breakdown Noticing a pattern of lyrical simplicity on this - not necessarily a negative thing though Really switching the vibe up to almost blues-adjacent guitar and a nice little bit-crushed beat - grooviest track so far Cool reverb on vocals Nice subtle groove progression - almost a bit like a dance track Outro is sick - phasery effects sound fucking awesome against Thom's warbling Easily best track so far Vibe change again - slow indie rock groove Nostalgic yet eerie Love it when Thom sustains notes - probably his best vocals on the album Pretty cold and grotesque lyrics to match the instrumental Really simple instrumental again but it works pretty well with this one Spooky ass lyrics again Instrumental is pure sex with Thom's falsetto Somewhere between a horror movie soundtrack and angelsong Most unique track so far Properly cinematic - lots of reverb, delay Another damn good surprisingly hard breakdown - just pure chaos Maybe would've put this against a softer track after Amnesiac for a contrast but whatever Really nice percussive work Cool instrumental but also kind of dull - there's not really a lot going on to benefit the album's flow Love that reversed percussion loop Really cool intro on this one - could've been a separate track instead of Hunting Bears Very cinematic and rich sound again but it's slightly bland compared to some of the other sound experimentation Jazzy instrumentation is fucking sick Sounds funky and ominous simultaneously Crazy good breakdown on this Builds the project to a nice crescendo - 2nd best track
