I've been a Twenty One Pilots fan since Trench, so getting to see the Dema story finally conclude with Breach is surreal. This album gives the story a real sense of closure, and it concludes in a way that's both satisfying and emotional. Coming after Clancy which I rated 80/100 Breach had a lot to live up to. Clancy was polished, aspirational, and cohesive, but Breach doesn't try to replicate it. Both albums are different in sound and style, yet both are equally as strong. I love ... read more
In Rainbows is another of Radiohead’s most celebrated albums and has a strong presence on AOTY. It solidified their musical presence and the cultural impact they’ve had.

The tracklist might be a bit all over the place, but the overall vibe, mood and sound are still there. Hail To The Thief really dives into lots of political ideas from after 9/11, which is what the title hints at, and it’s made really well. Plus, it mixes their rock and electronic influences to make one of their most wild, explosive and diverse albums.
Overall I rate this an 8/10
Unlike Kid A, I genuinely enjoy this album more. I believe it has a superior sound and aligns more closely with my taste. Pyramid Song is one of my favourites, ranking among my top ten Radiohead tracks alongside Morning Bell/Amnesiac.
While it’s not my absolute favourite Radiohead album, it’s still fantastic and enjoyable. The production and vocals are both remarkable..
Overall I rate this a 80/100
I understand why this album is popular but it’s not my favourite. It’s not bad at all but it’s quite different from Ok Computer and The Bends. I found Kid A slightly jarring at first. While the production and vocals are great, it’s simply not my style.
Overall, I’d give it a 70/100.
