an incredible upcoming band, suddenly are left without a lead vocalist after Isaac Wood left the band quite suddenly. but instead of wallowing in self-pity and jumping ship - they carry themselves and record a live album showcasing their creativity and strengths without dwelling too long on the departure of bandmate and friend.
obviously the band are definitely going to sound very different without the raw and crazed vocals of Wood, but by passing the baton of singing amongst themselves like a ... read more
this album is a super refreshing and raw sound, nothing in 2021 sounded close to this and it shows, the collection of all the instruments propels the band onto a pedestal of modern music easily. the lyrics are very abstract and sometimes sound quite odd to say the least, but this is definitely more polished in the next album. the same applies to vocals, Wood definitely found his perfect balance the next year, delivering some of the BEST live performances i have ever watched.

absolutely beautiful album that just tears you to pieces, the vocals, the writing and lyrics - oh its just a complete work of art. Isaac Wood is a generational performer on this album, he has learned how to perfect his lyrics from their debut album and all the band just play together so cohesively. i couldn't complain about one thing on this album, its just perfection and it will age fantastically in the coming years. i will be proud to say that i remember when the album was still fresh ... read more
Amnesiac is a great album, unfortunately it gets stuck being Kid A's leftovers. But it is so much more than that, it leans into jazz so much more than its older brother. there are plenty of fantastic songs on this album, and i think its a little less consistent unfortunately. it has one of my favourite album covers of all time which gives it bonus points.
overall it deserves its flowers, a fantastic album, and is just left behind in the Radiohead discography.

songs by Adrianne Lenker is an album that just fits. it's a very sad album, but in a beautiful and rainy way. i think the title is actually super fitting, as it just feel like a collection of nice, sad songs.
not much else to say other than that, i enjoyed it a lot.
