Feb 1, 2017Seen as a return to form by many after the controversial experiment of the "King of Limbs" in 2011, Radiohead is as dark, moody, and breathtaking as ever in their latest effort. True Love Waits is particularly meaningful to longtime fans of the band. Still not the album I would show to those not familiar with Radiohead, but another fine addition to their legacy.

Oct 30, 2017After their divisive last album, I guess a moon shaped pool is just what the fanbase ordered. While not, for my money anyway, a whole lot better than their previous effort, it is a whole lot more Radiohead. That isn't to say that it isn't trying anything new, and it's where the album pushes things that it really succeeds.

Apr 16, 2018This is good, but not so good, but really good tho. I love the orchestration, even tho I think there would have been places for better songs to fit the album. I mean, Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief is a solid 0/10

Dec 6, 2021most melodically accessible collection, almost meditative in its ethereal mid-tempo loveliness, yet shot through with the kind of edgy details that never quite let a listener relax. It is chill-out music to put your nerves on edge.

Apr 26, 2021This is the perfect mix of In Rainbows and The Bends. Easily their best album since 2007.
Best Songs: True Love Waits, Decks Dark, Burn the Witch -
May 26, 2021The King Of Limbs wasn't their best, but this one came out on a whole new level. This record reflects a solidly mature Radiohead. They bring all their experience and create this gorgeous list of tracks, taking on a more depressive and heartening road, but making each one of them worth to listen to.

Mar 6, 2023Really loved the whole vibe of this project. Definitely one of the better albums of Radiohead!

May 11, 2016Is this album better than King of Limbs? Without a doubt. Is this the greatest Radiohead album of all time? Not at all.
I sincerely believe all of these 10 ratings are just an overreaction by fellow Radiohead fans, excited for a somewhat 'normal' album.
Some of the tracks here are great, Daydreaming migjt be one of their best songs written. -

Jul 18, 2016Better than King of Limbs. Not as groundbreaking as Amnesiac and Kid A. If you like the more song oriented albums like Hail to the Thief or In Rainbows, you'll be disappointed.

May 10, 2016As a long time Radiohead fan, I must say I was very disappointed by this record. The mastering isn't right and the track listing doesn't flow properly. Also, I don't understand why they once again took a popular track that was great as it was (TLW) and distorted it into a sub par darker version. I get the context, but it overall it doesn't work for me.

May 9, 2016It's okay, I guess. They've created better albums. Obviously, you should check it out, but subjectively speaking, I couldn't help feeling a little underwhelmed after just listening to the masterpiece that is 'Lemonade'.
-
May 21, 2016The album is a masterpiece but musically incorrect. It takes you to a different world that is peaceful. But the meaningless notes disturb the whole atmosphere of relaxation. I don't understand why artists go against the rules of music and do such weired things which have no meaning. I cannot accept incorrect music from a music album.

May 13, 2016Oh my god what a fantastically boring album. Every song sounds the same. Alright, so I'm no Radiohead fan per se, but just thought I'd give it a go. Doubt I will ever listen to another one of these songs ever again. I probably don't get it or something, but hey. Reviews are subjective, yeah?
-
May 10, 2016This is a band on auto pilot. It's a mess of boring noise with nothing to offer unless your looking looking to impress other Radiohead fans with how much you can put up with this lack luster lump of junk. I've been with them from the start but after this and king of limbs I'm out!

May 8, 2016Does Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood even know what they're doing anymore? This Album is degrading towards its fans and to those who'll accidentally have it shuffled and disjointed way deep into the full discography of Radiohead. Zero stars. Zero points. Two thumbs down. Rotten score. Rotten album.

Aug 11, 2016Gone are any remnants of yesteryear's "rock music" ideology, thrusting Radiohead into a mature state of potentially their best work still to come.

MagnetAug 9, 2016This is Radiohead's deepest, darkest pool of devotion and doubt in a career marked by almost nothing but. [No. 133, p.51]
-
UncutJun 21, 2016There's a lighter, more hopeful bent to the musical settings, which perfectly balance the more dissonant leanings of The King Of Limbs with a sumptuousness and gentleness they've rarely sought since OK Computer. [Aug 2016, p.81]
