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.

Sep 9, 2016A Moon Shaped pool is the sum of what the band have been building up towards with their past few Albums,
In the form of what sounds like a relaxed, Well recorded jam session inside a Tornado, It blends edgy and romantic very well and creates a cohesive atmosphere to this beautifully written and sung songs. -
Sep 19, 2016Creo que se convirtió en mi segundo álbum favorito de Radiohead. Escuchar, entender y deleitarse con los instrumentales de este álbum se siente como una experiencia introspectiva que vale la pena. Como si de traernos la oscuridad que nos persigue frente a nosotros se tratase, y no para inquietarnos sino para comprenderlas mejor y a nosotros mismos.

Oct 18, 2016There are true masterpieces on this album and not a single weak track. My instant favorite was Decks Dark, which is now matched by absolutely splendid The Numbers! Im also in the camp with those who consider the "new" TLW as the perfect one.

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.

Feb 19, 2017We all have no suitable words to describe this brilliant art of magic sound. As for me, the best ever album I have ever heard till this moment. If you searching for something restful, enjoyable in the world of music you have found this now, while your are reading our reviews for one of the greatest piece of art, to be honest.

Jun 21, 2017There's an album who have an immaculately produced. It's a beautiful travel around the 11 tracks, begin with "Burn the Witch" which the message is clear, through "Daydreaming" with the feelings about Thom Yorke's relationship. Totally different sounds."True Love Waits" close the album with a different meaning from the "old" version. Absolutely amazing record, One of their many masterpieces

Jun 26, 2017Radiohead can do no wrong.
Favourite Tracks: Present Tense, Burn The Witch, Identikit, Decks Dark, Glass Eyes, Ful Stop, Day-dreaming, True Love Waits -
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.
-
Sep 19, 2017Every Radiohead album is good, but this is one of this is between the quality of Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows. Every song is good on the album, that's why I'm giving it a 10, though I know Radiohead still could do better.
-
Nov 9, 2017Непонятно как,но Radiohead с годами не теряют планку качества,даже не смотря на то,что альбомы часто получаются эксперементальными,но это не мешает группе выпускать отличные релизы с неплохой частотой.

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.
-
Jul 13, 2019Another incredible album by an incredible band. Hard to criticise this piece of art.
Favourite songs: Daydreaming, Decks Dark, Glass Eyes, Identikit, Present Tense, True Love Waits
To be honest I love them all but those are the top 6 in my opinion. -

May 10, 2020New classic of Radiohead. So sad, but extremely depth and beautiful.
What a great album. This could be one of my favorites. -
Nov 24, 2019Radiohead's quietest, most subtle, album to date is also their most rich and beautiful. Trading in trappy beats and and breakneck riffs, AMSP is pristine and glistening. Thom Yorke's personal songwriting helps the band pull off their most affecting collection of songs whilst Jonny Greenwood's symphonic arrangements angelically ebb and flow throughout.
-
Oct 22, 2020Beautiful. They have proven themselves many times before and it is amazing how they continue to release albums of this quality
-
Apr 2, 2021They put out lots of great stuff through the years but I personally like this project more than any other album of them.
-
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.

Jul 26, 2021A moon shaped pool is the equivalent to perfectly spreading diamond encrusted melted gold bar butter on your eardrums.

Nov 17, 2022If Kid A is the most depressive Radiohead's album, A Moon Shaped Pool is the most melancholic album. True Love Waits is one of my favourite songs. In my opinion, it's the final Radiohead's album. They moving forward and leave Radiohead backward.

May 31, 2023This album has everything it takes to be one of the best albums! The songs are beautiful, the stories are riveting, and the musicians behind them are also incredible
-
Aug 19, 2023This album is their best recent one yet, instant classic.
I always put off listening to it because i didn't want to be disappointed like i was with their "The King Of Limbs" album, however as i cautiously listened to this one my expectations were absolutely annihilated it's such a soft emotional listen please give it a try you won't regret it
Awards & Rankings
-
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]
