By now, if you read blogs or even consider yourself a person who likes Radiohead, you know that Thom Yorke has finished his solo album The Eraser. Pretty much I’ve seen a couple of the usual opinions. It sucks, or it’s okay. [read a bunch here] I’m not here with an opion. UHH, yeah actually I am because I started this blog in the first place… but I like the solo stuff. It’s very experiemental, (Did you expect something else?) and reminds me of Amnesiac. Electronic and brooding at times, and you still can’t really understand the lyrics like I said in my review of Radiohead – OK Computer.
It’s beautiful in the Thom Yorke way. Not the Radiohead way. This is Thom branching out and doing something creative on his own, and from what I’ve heard it inspiring work. I’m terribly fond of “Harrowdown Hill,” and “Black Swan.”
