Extremely Fast and Pointless Music Review: Radiohead 'A Moon Shaped Pool' (2016)

A Moon Shaped Pool is more than a good Radiohead album, it's just a good album in general.  After their last effort, The King of Limbs, I was left with an empty feeling and a hook-less, fairly musically joyless record.  A Moon Shaped Pool is as if their albums In Rainbows and Amnesiac had a baby, and it is a melancholy masterwork.   It is as inspired and emotional as I could have hoped; almost dangerous in it's ability to pull you in. The most brilliant thing about it (and it sounds like bullshit) is that the album grows on you and drips and seeps into you until it finds those cracks that move you.  It makes you feel anxious, lost, alone, and disillusioned.  Let it in.  Live with it.

Five stars.
