@ayayrawn I assumed that would probably be next on the docket.
@ThePakoBuelna I'll have to give TKoL a listen. I'm not sure I've ever listened to it all the way through.

Hail to the thief is a masterpiece too imo

@Crabbers HttT is one I remember when it was released... like the rest, it's been far too long since I revisited.

Just get em all hah. TKoL is fantastic. I have the 45RPM Hail To The Thief and remember it sounding fantastic and I believe it's quite cheap. The biggest issue with Radiohead's pressings for me was knowing which ones to buy since the US pressings typically suck and other albums have tons of pressings.

Don't sleep on A Moon Shaped Pool. I prefer it to TKOL or HTTT.

Also, talking about awesome writers tackling Radiohead; one of my favorite music writers, Steven Hyden's next book coincidentally about Radiohead is up for Pre-order.

@TenderLovingKiller® I was recently streaming In Rainbows (hehe... "streaming in rainbows") and after the album finished a track from AMSP played. It had been long enough since listening to In Rainbows that I didn't remember that it was not a song on that album.

@TenderLovingKiller® Having already order the record, I was bummed that the song wasn't gonna be on there and that I might have to consider purchasing AMSP at some point. 😂

@TenderLovingKiller® a lot of people seem to say that AMSP doesn't have any good pressings (yet), which is why I don't normally recommend it to people. My US Optimal pressing sounds pretty good to me though. I just know a lot of people complained about it.

Although I will say, songs that I've heard live that are off of TKOL really helped me with the enjoyment of the album itself. TKOL live renditions generally slap!

@MikeH My AMSP is noisy. I just have a standard US black pressing. Maybe they will eventually get to a deluxe quality repress of this but until then this will have to do. I would rather listen to a noisy AMSP than a perfectly pressed 45 RPM TKOL.

To echo @Barry Lird sentiment regarding TKOL, I really enjoy The King Of Limbs: Live from the Basement, I would listen to this before I would put on TKOL studio LP, unfortunately it is not available on wax but is easily downloadable and definitely worth checking out.
