When I first listened to this album, i was struck by its visceral imagery both lyrically and sonically, but I don't think I fully grasped its purpose nor beauty. I didn't quite 'get it'.
Today i felt sloggy as I hadn't showered and I'd spent most of the day playing video games and scrolling twitter/watching videos. A lot of touching myself also lmao. I realised that I felt this way and had an urge to go outside. I am extremely privileged to live on a decent amount ... read more
absolute fucking dogshit i hate this so much, especially because his old music was so much better. insane and very unexpected falloff
yeah its progressive and pushed the band further yadda yadda yadda but i honestly dont enjoy it as much as, like, in rainbows and ok computer. don't get me wrong, i still enjoy it a lot, its a radiohead album, but it just doesnt have the soul of my top 2 to me which is what places it lower. It's a very subjective opinion, i know its a great album, it just doesnt do as much for me as it does for others i guess.
It's not the most incredible or progressive album like radiohead's later stuff, but its still damn good music. It's a comfort album for me, the songs are just so simplisticly enjoyable. There's are some ups and downs in quality but i dont really care the album's just good. high and dry and fake plastic trees are basic as hell but i love them to bits so theyre my recs
One of my favourite albums of all time. It has personal significance because it was made in my country, and I've been in contact with the bassist of this album. What makes the music special to me is the way it's just oozing with youthful passion. You can almost feel the hormones surging through the angsty, whiney vocals. And the way the instruments complement and play off each other gives you the feeling that this is a group of friends who know each other really well, and believe in ... read more
(i will preface this by saying this is a complete body of work. it is best to listen through it in order in one sitting. the songs can stand on their own, but together they become so much more.)
Genuine masterpiece. This album manages to convey such intricate and complex feelings so clearly that it feels like you’re experiencing them yourself. It leads the listener through the childhood of the protagonist, presumably the lead singer, in such a deeply personal way. It begins with naive ... read more

"'you can always be happy in another life' is so real icl. 100% agree with this honestly a moon shaped pool is one of my favourite albums of theirs i prefer it to kid a (very controversially). and i think the lewis carroll-esque hazey trance it puts one in is reasonable explanation for a minor lapse in composure, and it makes more a fun read anyways."

"actually good point yeah thats a fair criticism. honestly for me tho it just impacts me in a different way. it takes me outside of myself and my feelings and what i relate to and makes me feel almost like an angel or some celestial being for a few minutes. ykwim?"

On π©πππππππΆππ's review of Natural Snow Buildings - Daughter of Darkness
"im a christian but i find a struggle within myself longing for the cool embrace of suffering which pulls me away from His loving embrace somewhat. I think we're similar, i too am the kind of person to torture myself in such a way for its own sake. (if you couldnt tell, im also a bit of a pretentious fuck). i appreciated reading this, i was able to escape the monotonies of life for a moment."
