The Eraser reviewed
Thom Yorke’s The Eraser is out on Monday. Here are some reviews of the album.
PopMatters has a lengthy article/review on The Eraser by Joseph Tate. No need to quote Joseph, always a good read.
PowPowPow: “An album, then, worth your attention, and not because of the Radiohead ‘thing’, but because it’s a roaring [or should I say, whispering] bubble bath of delight; the invigorated vocals, the stark lyrics, the thriving melodies, the electronica-flavoured shimmers. It’s all good. Very good.”
Socialist Worker: “Yorke’s anger and sometimes despair is always tempered with defiance. The Eraser’s title track reminds our rulers that their lies won’t work and will come back to haunt them. Our movement needs more musicians prepared to stick their necks out and take risks like this.”
Entertainmentwise.com: “Despite initial fears, ‘The Eraser’ doesn’t sound like an aimless collection of Radiohead B-Sides. Thom Yorke has sculpted an album with an agenda and substance, and more importantly has offered tantalising glimpses of his genius.” (4/5)
MusicOMH: “This record completes a picture of a sometime prog rock god who’s just as happy - and competent - in the role of an electronica wizard”. (4/5)
Sydney Morning Herald: “Yorke and regular Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich have made an often sumptuous sounding record (listen to this with headphones if you can); the longer it goes also pricks and provokes with angularities”
ic Scotland: “The Eraser is an album full of ‘moments’ some of them are familiar, some of them are brand new and exciting but they are all undeniably Thom Yorke and that is what he will be remembered for; constantly striving to go slightly left of the middle.”
BlogCritics: “The songs are cohesive, seemingly working for the same goal from beginning to end. And The Eraser is more than just a supplement to your Radiohead catalogue. I can guarantee that it will become an integral part of your collection. And in the end, Thom Yorke proves just how indie he is with The Eraser, because he is reminding us once again that he didn’t follow us. We followed him.”
Sunday Times: “In the case of Radiohead though, The Eraser might just constitute a lifeline. If this outlet aids their rediscovery of a common purpose, Yorke’s bandmates may be only too happy to give him custody of the Kids.”
