I think of all the Radiohead albums, this one is the most 'cinematic'.

[@turningthetables]

100% agree with you

[@ROArecords2]

That's because they hired an orchestra for this album.

[@starskypartridge1177]

@@ROArecords2 There are orchestral elements (and instrumentation) in everything they have done since The Bends.

[@ROArecords2]

@@starskypartridge1177 Many were done on a keyboard in the past. For A Moon Shaped Pool, they had more access to a full live orchestra. A few songs were older songs that they didn't record before because they wanted to wait until they could record with a full orchestra. They also recorded their James Bond theme song in this session.

[@AnotherAnonymousMan]

This might not be Radiohead's "best" album, but for me, it's unquestionably their most accomplished. It just quietly oozes mastery and for what it is, it's genuinely perfect.

[@Zlagie]

Totally agree. First listen it totally flew one ear and out the other, but second and third listen completely floored me. It takes a band of this experience level to take control of tones, texture and dynamics the way Radiohead manages to do with this album. Quiet mastery is exactly how I feel.

[@suejonmeyers8362]

@@Zlagie this was definitely one of those albums. I was going through some similar stuff and happen to just have this on during one of the final trips, identik and present tense came into the suggested playlist....and it was like Thom as per usual helped me through these moments by not escaping them but feeling all of it completely to move forward.

[@BullyParkerMaguire]

Bruh TKOL is way more accomplished. They spent 6 months recording, and made sure the tracks would even sound 15x better live. This album is far less unique

[@patroba3392]

​@@BullyParkerMaguireObjectively wrong, but you're right with the live thing

[@tombydeesh]

Just thought I would point out that Thom and his wife had two kids when they split, and she passed away from cancer about a year later which really compounded a lot of the pain felt in this album. True love waits is especially brutal with context. Out of pain comes beauty, thank you Thom

[@jonmayes3262]

True love waits was actually written many many years before. Hes been performing it at gigs for about 10 years, just never recorded it onto an album until Moon Shape

[@levthederg]

@@jonmayes3262 I guess Thom felt that he just needed to put this out there after that painful event happened.

[@ihate_5x108]

You’re thinking of daydreaming. True love waits was written around the ok computer era I believe, or even earlier.

[@zon6158]

@@ihate_5x108 the orig8nal was about her and him admiring things about her because that was at the start of the relationship the AMSP version was changed because it was at the time at the end of their relationship

[@ihate_5x108]

@@zon6158 the original was essentially a song about how Thom was willing to give up his identity to be with a woman. I think the context it carries in relation to AMSP is about how he’s desperate to keep his wife because of the divorce he ended up going through. Basically it’s a song about Thom simping for some pussy either way lmao

[@finnnnnnnn1258]

As an aspiring mixing engineer I love how much attention your dad pays to the mix as a casual listener :) Not a lot of people think and listen closely about how a mix is constructed but it’s a really interesting way to digest a song I think, maybe I’m biased though ;) Great video though!!

[@DoctorMeatDic]

The end of Daydreaming is astonishing. They reverse Yorke's vocal ad-lib so that is jarring and abrupt. Then the strings play exactly the same jarring and abrupt melody. Then, we hear the growing, reversed speech as the song ends. I've never heard anything like it, it is to date their most experimental piece of music, extraordinary.

[@joetill1996]

Decks dark and especially daydreaming have a special place in my heart as they are the songs me and my family would listen to when driving the alps in the middle of winter for our skiing holidays and i look out the window at the snowy alpine landscape, it would make me feel as if i was in a sci-fi movie with the amazing futuristic slow production and the tall peaks of the alps that would surround the car.

[@iamthewalrus.]

True Love Waits was written in the 90s and finally got a record release on Moon Shaped Pool

[@NehemiahRyan]

I was going to bring that up. Radiohead fans that started following the band in the 90s know that the song is old and doesn’t have anything to do with Thom’s break up with his wife. Also, the original live version is way, way better than this version. It’s the same with Motion Picture Soundtrack. The demo/live versions are way better than the album.

[@ljummingen]

@@NehemiahRyan god you sound like such an elitist

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

@@NehemiahRyan Well, for one - whether one is better or worse is completely subjective as with literally every piece of music. And while it may not have been written about his wife's break-up and her subsequent passing, don't you think that the fact that those things happened and he's decided to change the arrangement and officially release it mean something? Doesn't the meaning of the song change as the context changes?

[@760MaxJ]

@@el_mal_de_ojo Personally I feel like the version of it on A Moon Shaped Pool is just so emotionally intense and heavy that it’s nearly a completely different song. I prefer it but it’s way harder to listen to than the 90s version because of that. Also, I feel like the original 90s version was more about the future of a relationship and the excitement of feeling like you’ve found the right partner and the 2016 version is about the desperate attempt to cling to that same “right” partner when you know you’re losing them. It’s really tragic too considering that Thom’s wife passed away shortly after AMSP was released. He probably knew she was in poor health during the making of the album.

[@ROArecords2]

"They grew up to be really really talented old fucks" To be fair, they made huge leaps early on in their career, he just knows one song. He should listen to every album completely. To me, Radiohead is like Zeppelin in the way that their entire catalogue is great and worth listening to, not just the hits.
