Thom Yorke - The Eraser
 

Got it today ..... think it`s great.

It`s really odd , it sounds like Radiohead , but it doesn`t. It`s almost kind of more minimalist.

Or if you want that in English it sounds like Radiohead with all the guitars taken out.Don`t know if this means the new Radiohead album will be more guitar orientated or not.

Anyway , I like it.

I haven't listened to it enough, as I said before. Atoms For Peace is amazing though. Singing Falsetto like that is incredibly hard.

apparently the new radiohead album is to go back to basics and focus on guitar led melodies. I see the eraser as the evolution from Amnesiac and Kid A, its a continuation of Yorkes obsession with studio wizadry. I was slightly underwhelmed on first listen though, it must be said.

I'll second the Atoms For Peace song. SO GOOD!

I think it's really good. I'm looking forward to more guitar orriented stuff though.

Yorke's new solo offering is very impressive imo. If I have one criticism, it's that he's not travelled far enough away from Radiohead territory. To those not familiar with his/ their music, a first listen might not enable one to differentiate between the two parties.

For me, Radiohead are perhaps the most important development to hit the indie music scene in the past decade (and more), although I suspect that I may be saying a similar thing about The Arcade Fire in years to come. Since Thom is such a major influence on Radiohead output, perhaps it was inevitable that similarities between solo and band work are so evident.

Here's hoping of a change in style (even if it does drift back to more traditional type guitar work) in the upcoming Radiohead album. Thom and the lads are no doubt aware of the need to reinvent themselves periodically in order to keep their competitors from snapping at their heels.

I agree. It reminds me a lot of Radiohead, but it almost seems to have a softer side.

It's pretty sweet, it feels like Kid A mixed with David Grubbs or Jim O'Rourke, more subdued and "minimalistic" than Kid A and it also feels more personal. Great start to a promising solo career.

I'll get it eventually, damn I love Radiohead

^Urban posted it in the sharing thread but here. Thom Yorke - The Eraser

3rd favourite Radiohead album, Thanks for the upload:thumb:

Why`s everybody so obsessed with Radiohead bringing the guitars back anyway? I think they do just fine without them.

Let all those sub rate sh*tty copyist bands *coughmusecoldplayandafewothers* use the guitars

95 % of guitar rock is bland as f*ck these days anyway *

I'm Liking Black Swan

well think of it this way; if thom goes off with the Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief stuff, and Radiohead itself goes back to the guitars, then we have the best of both worlds!

Doesn't look like it, just read an interview with Yorke, he seems keen to go on with Radiohead, and he said he doesn't like calling it a "solo album", as he doesn't like that word.
Anyone hear Arpeggi?

i've heard arpeggi and its very appealing. if the new radiohead album is like that then it is the perfect way to finish a carrer. i've also heard a couple of other tracks and they r also great. they seem to combine all of radioheads sounds into a single song, very layered and atmospheric.

as for the erasor i can only say that i love it, its good that thom yorke doesnt feel he has to make electronica songs with huge bass and drum samples. i love the light feel to it and the sparse sound with the blippy rhythms.

everyone buy it

Nice first post:cool:

I'd prefer if they didn't finish and kept going, myself...

I think we all feel the same way

Really looking forward to this album!

It's been out for a couple of weeks.
Thom Yorke - The Eraser

wow! really? I haven't seen it...maybe it's because NZ is so slow with releases sometimes :s I'm going out to buy it :) New Radiohead not far away too I imagine?

I suppose they're still looking for a producer, well at least according to the gospel of Thom 6:11

woe...I wonder who they have in mind??

the new radiohead album is due for release in janruary or february 2007

better late than never

Cool, that's actually earlier than I expected!

Cool, I'll buy this and the new Radiohead album then,

I like it. A friend of mine sent me all the tracks. :D

I got this on the day it was released (I think, can't quite remember!), and I think it's quite good. Nothing fantastic I don't think, but I do enjoy it.

Im not a huge Yorke fan, but this was pretty good.

Can someone up it for me? The links aren't working :(

I love "The Eraser" I've taken "Skip Divided" off my MP3 though. There's a few parts in it I just don't like.

I really liked this album it showed the continuing of Thom's fascination with production. The conclusion of it aswell? I've heard the Radiohead album is going to be going back to guitar based. I'm looking forward to it.

Diggin the shit out of the New Moon song. About time I got his solo album.

It's good, reminds me of HTTT a little bit. I dont think it flows as well as a lot of the stuff he's done with Radiohead, it seems less cohesive, but i was left mightily impressed regardless.

Any word on a second solo album?There's a lot of potential in The Eraser for more stuff which is nothing like Radiohead.
