Glad I kept my Tidal subscription from the Kanye album. Been paying off alot lately. Getting the Beyonce album, access to the Prince discography, and now this has really been awesome.

in your opinion is tidal better than Spotify?
Same thing more or less. Tidal has a bit more so I guess it's better? More of my friends use Spotify though and I like sending them stuff. I have a student account with both so I only pay $5 a month for each. $10 a month to have both is kind of worth it with the amount I listen to music I think.

I'm gonna say a step up from King Of Limbs, just love the atmosphere this album creates. Some really amazing arrangements to be found, here. Highlights to me right now are Ful Stop, Identikit, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor... .
The Numbers > True Love Waits > Ful Stop > Identikit > Decks Dark > Glass Eyes > Burn the Witch > Desert Island Disk > Daydreaming > Present Tense > Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief
It's amazing how this somehow sounds claustrophobic and anxious despite feeling so sparse and airy. Even when there is orchestration - which is as beautiful as you would expect - it never feels dense or crowded at all. It's like no matter how much is going on they are playing in a room that's just a little too large, a little too dimly lit to see the corners. There's a distinct feeling of aloneness even when the music is swelling and rolling over you. I felt like I was developing an arrhythmia while I was listening to the album, like I was getting this sensation of falling backwards while I was sitting still.
It shouldn't surprise you guys that the immediate thing that struck me was the sequencing. The combination of new and old tracks and the fact that they are (presumably intentionally) in alphabetical order makes this particularly interesting. I know a couple of the tracks that had previously been played had slightly or entirely different names, but because the album flows so fluidly, I can't help but wonder if they wrote the songs and sequenced the album to fit the alphabetical order or if they titled things after the fact. Either way, kind of odd.
You can get the feeling for why some of these things happened: Burn the Witch up front makes a lot of sense, and having True Love Waits as the final track continues with the general trend of Radiohead putting their strongest songs last on the album (Street Spirit, Videotape, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Wolf at the Door). Having Present Tense and Tinker Tailor before it gives you this feeling that the album is winding down after the central plateau of Ful Stop through The Numbers, only to have True Love Waits come along and crush the unsuspecting listener. Still, the rest of the alphabetizing is a little baffling. "The Numbers" was obviously renamed to fit, I think, but man, Radiohead love to make us ask questions that may not even have answers, don't they?
