    Upon release this album had a lot of positive reviews, which is nothing new for Radiohead. The band formed in 1985, but released their first album only in 1993, where they found success quickly with their early hit “Creep”. From there on they moved away from their grunge based roots and album after album they kept releasing something different, starting to add up some electronic and experimental influences in their most successful album to date, OK Computer, that ended up being completely embraced by the time their 2000 album, Kid A, was released.

    Most of the releases after Kid A seem to embrace completely that electronic and experimental side of Radiohead, but that differs with A Moon Shaped Pool. This album isn’t a return to the roots for the band, if anything, it’s actually more similar to their later output, but it’s far more acoustic and laid back on the electronica, and the result is also a far more somber release.

    I really didn’t think that this album started the best way, the alphabetic order that this album was put in places “Burn The Witch” as the first track of the album, and it’s one of my least favourite on the entire album. If you want to know my favourite, it’s the beautiful fourth track, “Desert Island Disk”.

    All the tracks though bring up exactly the feeling that the cover exhausts. A dark, somber and mellow experience. Listening to this album makes you feel alone, no matter where you are, distant from the world. Like you’re swimming alone in the ocean at night… or maybe in their moon shaped pool.
