Jun 27, 2019It’s bleakness on a stick. But Anima is also a dystopian rhapsody that will stay with you long after the moment and rates as one of the purest expressions yet of Yorke’s devastated world view.
-
Jun 28, 2019The overwhelming magnificence of “Dawn Chorus” distracts—but not detracts—from everything else. There’s a good chance ANIMA will be remembered as “The Album With Dawn Chorus On It,” and that’s not a bad problem to have, just one that unfortunately makes it much easier to ignore the other incredible tracks on here. It’s just what happens when you make the centerpiece of your album one of the best songs you’ve ever written.

Jul 1, 2019That's the trick which keeps ANIMA from losing itself in the beat-heavy, extroverted exterior. The Thom Yorke of 2019 has a newfound openness which endears him to us in a way the famously reticent singer never has in twenty-plus years.
-
Jun 27, 2019ANIMA isn't an overly kind record. It is, however, eternally honest.
-
Q MagazineJul 2, 2019It's an excellent album born out of modern dread. He's in his element. [Aug 2019, p.106]
-
Jul 1, 2019The textural depth of ANIMA grips, unlike past solo outings, and is ultimately even more rewarding when played on headphones.
-
Jun 26, 2019Anima is slightly more songful than Yorke’s previous solo record, 2014’s “Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes.” “I Am a Very Rude Person” and “Impossible Knots” both ride funk grooves that recall Atoms for Peace.

Feb 6, 2020This album is a 10.0. I’d say it occupies 25% of my music listening. The other 75% by Kid A, In Rainbows, and Doolittle lol.

Jul 7, 2019ANIMA is minimal. Mellifluousness is in the club, possessing. No need to rush.
