Here's to the most humble, indescribably brilliant, arguably greatest musician of all time and the fact that every new single so far from this album has given me chills repeatedly. There was a moment in the video for "Skrting on the Surface" where I felt like I had lived that moment in a different life..... and tears of pure and indescribable joy streamed down my face. Music doesn't do that very often. Thank you Thom from the bottom of my heart and soul. You have changed my life, even since Pablo Honey when I was 15 ❤️. Long live our creative fearless leader!

I fell in love with OK Computer. I was doing acid, for the first (and only time) with some shipmates while we were in Intelligence A School and getting our top secret clearance background checks done. We watched "Meeting People is Easy" on VHS in my barracks. My life changed that day, forever, and I will never forget that night. The next morning my alarm clock went off and Karma Police was playing, toward the end of the song where is angelic voice sings "For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myse ee ellllfff, phew for a minute there I lost myself...." and I was transfixed and I felt things in my heart I didn't even know could be there.

@@dickmonkey-king1271 Meshuggah or Radiohead/the Smile, 2 different worlds. Meshuggah and Gojira are my new big favourites in metal. Massive, heavy. Good enough for tears of awe. But somehow, it's nothing compared with the emotional heaviness and sophistication, but also the sadness, despair and devastation of Radiohead and The Smile's music. I can burst in tears only talking about Radiohead, Thom Yorke or the Smile. It's that good.

Ever since I saw them do the original rocking version of Reckoner on the Kid A/Amnesiac tour, I was hoping they’d go in a darker, eerier, still gorgeous, but more mathy direction. Wish granted. After almost 30 years of fandom, I had high hopes, but honestly didn’t think I’d have this on repeat for six hours straight this morning. God I hope this isn’t a one off album like Atoms For Peace. But I have a feeling a lot of fans aren’t gonna like it. The time meter on The Same is nuts. And I imagine super confusing for a lot of people.
