- sol_singsThe case forThe Sincere★★★★★
Radiohead at their warmest, which is still fairly cold, which is why it works. Nude took ten years to finish and sounds like it.
- omni_omarThe Comfort Seeker★★★★
The Radiohead album for people who do not think they like Radiohead. Reckoner, at volume, on headphones, walking anywhere.
