It never fails to transport me back to the way life felt when you were of a certain age. When even if you may have been lacking a clear direction in life and oftentimes felt a little lost, life also felt boundless and thrilling and feelings were all in technicolour. This album for me captures this all, perhaps not as concised as Teenage kicks did for Jon Peel but I'm guessing in the same way. H*ll I'll play this one over again 


Probably my favorite RH album if I'm being honest...

It is my favourite Radiohead album too, a real classic. One of my brother's favourites, he gave copies to many of his friends.

Finally got around to buying a copy of Peter Gabriel's latest album the other day. I got the 2xCD + BR edition and listened to the "Inside Mix" downmixed to 2 channel audio. Will need to spend some more time with the album and listen to the other mixes but liked it quite a bit on the first go.

I'm not a big fan of orchestral arrangements on rock albums but I've taken a liking to this one. Tommy with the London Symphony Orchestra and Chambre Choir. It has some excellent soloists and singers, even Ringo takes a good part 'Fiddling About'.  The orchestral recordinary give a soundstage and instrument placement that has to be heard, quite excellent through GS gear.
