when i first put this in i was like "oh...it's amnesiac...again." with the bleeping and the blooming and the snoozing...but i had it playing all weekend, and i am finally getting into it. there are some really beautiful, interesting melodies...and LOVE SONGS?!i think that is the most shocking of all. maybe thom is finally on some much needed meds. my favorite part was mishearing the lyrics "i want to eat your artichoke heart" as "i want to eat your heart, each your crotch" haha.. good times.

I've been listening to this album for the last month or two and I have to say I like it. To me, it's like a darker version of Postal Service's "Give Up". The thing you have to do (which is nearly impossible) is try to listen to the album on its merits instead of compare it to radiohead, which very few albums could live up to.

Oh I have to agree with musick...Kid A is radiohead's masterpiece to me, too.

I'll get right on Human Television.

I'll get right on Human Television.

I'll agree that this album doesn't hit as hard as any Radiohead material. It's much more muted and watered down, but I guess that's to be expected on a solo project.

I like The Eraser quite a bit, but it's nowhere near Kid A, which I consider Radiohead's masterpiece. It (The Eraser) sounds a bit sparse at points.

Leah, have you heard Human Television? Give them a shot.

@John: Today is the official release date, so I'm not sure why they'd be selling it. Maybe pre-orders?

@Rich: Yeah . . . there are quite a few of those bloops and bleeps.

I think there may have been too many bloops and bleeps for my taste. I'll give it another chance. I think it was also competing with the new Sufjan outtakes album at the time.

I think I like that it's so chill and laid back. It's good for relaxing and kind of puts me in a peaceful mood. I'm surprised you didn't dig it.

Huh. I listened to this maybe twice the day it leaked, decided I didn't like it, and haven't listened to it since. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
