Thom Yorke - The Eraser

I’m surprised that no one has made a thread about this but…I just ordered a copy of this album today. I haven’t heard it yet but I wonder if anyone else has heard it and what they thought?

Yeah, I got it last week.

It's absolutely brilliant.

I just bought it today, i'm taking my first listen through it. So far i like what i'm hearing. Very good stuff.

my copy still didn't come yet 🙁

next time I'll just buy it at the store

its definatly in my "to buy" pile... but its quite a pile at the moment 🙁

Favorite tracks so far? So far my favorite tracks are The Eraser, Analyze and And It Rained All Night. What do you guys think of the production, its beautiful stuff but I especially love And It Rained all Night, instrumenatal worthy track.

I picked couple weeks ago as well, I like The Clock and Harrowdown Hill.

finally bought this CD yesterday. its very good. all the tracks flow nicely and its a pretty calm listen. favs are Black Swan and The Eraser

I like it.

It definitely has a different feel than Radiohead, obviously setting it apart. Quite honestly, I expected it to sound a bit like Radiohead's more electronic songs (Idioteque, The Gloaming, Sit Down. Stand Up., Like Spinning Plates). This album doesn't remind me of those songs at all, really. That's not a bad thing, just not what I expected.

Thom's vocals are superb, and the electronic beats are interesting and often catchy, but not exactly groundbreaking. It's still a solid album, but I'll still be anxiously awaiting the next Radiohead release. This album should be able to hold us over until then...hopefully.

Favorite Tracks:

Analyze
The Clock
Black Swan
Harrowdown Hill

Yeah, I got this the other day. Slow boats, and all that...

So far sofa, I like it. That first track is a stunner - The Eraser! Woof! What a song!

Anyway, I'll come back when I've heard it a few more times. Good shit, though.

Darn i thought he was doing the Arnie role in a remake of THE ERASER movie!!!!!

Even if I smashed my skull to pieces and mashed the brain with a tennis racket, that still wouldn't be funny.

Well, I would think so, too, if my taste would suck. But it doesn't. So I liked it.

Well, there you go...You got your wish; my brain is now mash and it looks like half my head has been shaved off by a cheese grater.

You've really started it here now Vintage. 😄 I'm all for Rivers Cuomo in Die Hard. By the way, the album is fantastic.

To have good taste is to like Thom Yorke, is that right?
