Already sounds kinda outdated. Pulls from older pop sounds and genrally does them decently well, but there is nothing praticularly intersting about how it goes about doing that. At least it is having fun tho
Climate metal do be one of my favourite genders
Movement 6 kicked me in the emotional balls. It's great.

Chock full of lovely songs that feel just feel intensly human.
The eeriness is of the charts here. Some blatantly unfinished songs with more potential than what is shown, but still very potent at times. Pulk/Pull, for example, is better than the rating leads you to believe. It does exactly what it was intended for: giving an unsetteling vibe with a driving rythm for a chilling ambiance that can haunt you.
Surprisingly not underrated here, some really good songs with some that are significantly less so. Separator is slept on tho, certainly as a closer.
Nothing is perfect, but Radiohead certainly came close with this gorgeous album. The soundscapes are unmatched as pure emotion oozes from each these songs; and all done seemingly effortless. For me this is not necessarily about the album as a whole. The songs on their own are just so well crafted and that on their own makes this an absolute highlight of the Radiohead discography.

On Kickingpro's review of Natural Snow Buildings - The Winter Ray
"Thanks for sharing your feelings on this album! I totally get it, that deep sense of comfort in what you also know to not be a good place, it is a weirdly enticing place to be. I will check out the album for my own feelings on it, but more importantly I hope you are doing okay. It sounds like you might be having a tough time atm. Know that whatever you feel in these times is valid, just don't forget about the good things. Overanalysis can kill joy, but feelings of joy and happiness are just as real and valid as any feelings of isolation and discomfort. Wish you all the best!"
