A Moon Shaped Pool didn't sound like typical Radiohead at all. It was way more dulled down and easy listening. Not a bad thing, since I actually like it. Also, Thom Yorke actually made me not want to cut my ears right off for once.

It makes sense when you remember how ineffective diversity was at bringing Radiohead out of mediocrity.

There's nothing diverse about them except for the recent album.

Nope. Still dull as hell. A 180 is exactly what the band needs if they want to make interesting music.

AMSP was a complete 180 from that suckfest, The King if Limbs.

They're still headlining at suckfest though.

Both accurate statements.

If TKOL proved anything to me, it's that they had used all of their best ideas for their alternative/experimental/electronic styles up. I mean, their albums were all quite different until the 2000's. They used the same tricks for five albums, and it got tiring by TKOL. If you ask me, AMSP is just an example of musical growth.

In Rainbows > OK Computer > Kid A > Hail To The Thief > A Moon Shaped Pool > Amnesiac > The Bends > Pablo Honey > King Of Limbs

What a piece of shit KOL is.

**** you, TKoL is great. I like it better than AMSP. I've sort of reconsidered my opinion of AMSP though. In my opinion, it's Radiohead's worst album since Pablo Honey, but it's still at least 4/5.

EDIT- It's better than Amnesiac though, perhaps HTTF as well.

Then it wouldn't be their worst.
