Almost the same

Tom Skinner's doing a charity gig for Gaza aid next month. Dude rules.

"if you take the 10 best songs from the three Smile projects, you have a very solid album"

so Wall of Eyes?

Yeah I def prefer Wall of Eyes but this was cool

what you removing to at least make space for a hairdryer and free in the knowledge

I like all the smile records, but feel they're distinct enough album to album

if I viewed them as the same the best I can say is they all sound like albums made after the same band made a moon shaped pool previously though

wouldnt mind a major change in sound but maybe thats not the point of the smile

Grooviest the Smile album

Mostly.

rescinding this statement

which part of it?

That I like wall of eyes more. Sat with this new one for a week now and like it a lot more than on my first listen, it’s really good

Their best so far

Fantano gave this a 5 but he spends the whole review saying he likes the album outside of 3 songs

i love this album. But tbh i am ready for a new radiohead

Mid but I appreciate the ambition

Never knew this existed, nice

relisten

zero sum
eyes & mouth (best song)
the slip
no words
bodies laughing

so i give it a 5/10.

You is better than most songs on in rainbows

new Thom interview. some good stuff in here about Cutouts and The Smile's process in general, but on Radiohead:

"No offence to anyone and err, thanks for caring. But I think we've earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else's historical idea of what we should be doing."

"I don't think we feel the need to live up to anything," Yorke continues. "That feels like a non-problem.

"We are in this privileged position where we are still able to make music because of Radiohead, so no complaints."

basically stop asking him about Radiohead. abc.net.au/news/2024-10-21/thom-yorke-the-smile-interview-cutouts-australian-solo-tour/104490320
