One of the prettiest tracks involving Thom Yorke in years with any band. As soulful and silky and sexy as anything he's ever created. God those synths meets those deep fractal chorals meeting those flutes, and that deep subtle rhythm section below it all. Almost Caribbean/Reggae, 70's Soul, and Free Jazz all colliding in a dark beautiful world.

I lost my dad in September 2022 and I've barely listed to music since then, not as much as I used to. This album made me full-on fall in love with music again. I'm crying to this song everytime I hear it, this is the most beautiful song I've heard in years and obviously my favorite on the album. I am crying right now. If he was still alive, I would have played this for him on his speakers. And then on his Bose headphones. And maybe take him to your concert in AFAS, even though he did not like big crowds. He would have LOVED Wall of Eyes. Thank you so much, Thom, Jonny, Tom and Sam. ♥

This album is much more focused and unique than A Light. Really impressd upon first listen. It's an aural barrage of strangeness, complexity and deep beauty. So tight like Kid A.

[@nobodiesband]

Feels loose to me but not in a bad way, arrangements and structure aren't on that level of meticulous tightness as Radiohead at all, much more space and breathing room. beautiful all the same but last thing I'd say is tight! There's a feeling of searching in the dark

[@robmaddison8645]

@@nobodiesband I meant tight as in cohesive and working together as a whole piece with a good length.

[@recordtime9151]

I agree with you, however A Light For Attracting Attention was put together before they had a chance to play these songs live and truly coalesce as a unit. I think the first album would have been better as the release of maybe 3 EPs. They were playing many of these songs on their tours and it seems to me they allowed this experiment to mature and they have a very interesting new identity forged from the road and new musical ideas.

[@Alwayz1999]

I've been waiting for this track since 2022. I listened to various edits and finally, after 2 years, this track is finally released. I can't describe how happy I'm right now! Thank you for this amazing song! When I watched scene where this song is playing (from TV show Peaky Blinders) I felt like Thomas spoke to me directly. I felt anger and sadness about this situation just like Arthur. When they hugged each other, I burst into tears. At the end, when Tommy said, "Pull yourself together. We have work to do." I understand him. That no matter what happens in life, we have to move forward. Peaky Blinders taught me a lot of things about courage, business and life. Thanks for this masterpiece, Steven Knight. Now we Peaky Blinders rest.

[@JimmyKlef]

This album is sincerely so unbelievably beautiful. My GOD i cannot believe how refined these guys got. This reminds me of everything wonderful about In Rainbows, but everything wonderful about Thoms solo stuff, and johnny’s soundtrack work. I mean, of course it does, but that isn’t something that artists can do with such authenticity often. You just know this is exactly what they wanted to make and we should be so lucky as to have these fellas guiding our tastes further too. And there’s elements beyond anything from before. I’m a musician myself and in my mid thirties now discovering just how impressive it is to keep up with music. Even your own. You have to lean into wherever you go forever. I think these guys may be the best most authentic musicians currently. At least among them. Because they have never lost the thing that makes art as beautiful as possible. Authenticity. Even though there will probably always be some OK computer in their music, it’s only the unavoidable bits that are there only because it’s authentic. The fact that we have music from them that are quantum leaps from other music they made, where they are quantum entangled with themselves is only the particles that matter most.
