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 -

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

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.

Nov 7, 2022I can't believe that it still feels fresh whenever I play one of the songs of this album, even after a couple of years since my first listen.

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 26, 2021A moon shaped pool is the equivalent to perfectly spreading diamond encrusted melted gold bar butter on your eardrums.
Favorites: ALL
Least Favorites: NONE -
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.
-
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 -
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.

Dec 17, 2020This album, like nearly all Radiohead albums, is an incredible creation. It creates a very sonic/filmic landscape with the sounds and melodies. The songs have this calming and mesmerising quality. Personal favourites include ‘ Burn the Witch’, ‘Decks dark’ and ‘Present Tense’. I really enjoy how Radiohead have once again found a different sound to master. Great work.

Oct 22, 2020Beautiful. They have proven themselves many times before and it is amazing how they continue to release albums of this quality
-
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.

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. -
Jul 2, 2019All the songs seem infused with both hyper sensibility and grounded bass lines. Hope and distress. Even if it gets high in ethereal propositions, it never fails to stay connected emotionally. Can't get enough, it's addictive.

Dec 30, 2018A different album to all, as each of them have a unique style, in this we can appreciate the background story of Yorke and his ex-wife Rachel that more than one will make us feel different emotions.
-
Jul 12, 2018Very weird album. Yes, it's a praise, considering that it is a Radiohead's characteristic. Electronic and at the same time orchestral sonority, with many textures of classical instruments, beats and electronic effects makes the album a bit dense but without put aside all the beauty that also marks band sound. Still worthwhile, as Radiohead fans as good music fans.
-
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

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.
-
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.
-
Oct 12, 2017Definitely the most omnipotent and spiritual of the Radiohead albums. As can always be expected from a Radiohead album, it's dark, it's experimental, and rich with flavor. Probably the easiest, yet the most depressing of their albums to get into.
-
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.

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]
