Radiohead's Thom Yorke drops a new track from his Atoms For Peace project. Originally, it seemed to be an assembly of musicians used to play live renditions of material from 2009's the Eraser. Now, with a full-length album on the way, Atoms For Peace is becoming so much more.

On these two new Record Store Day tracks to drop from Radiohead, I find myself scratching my head. It's not because these tracks are bad, though. I actually think these tracks are great. I'm just left wondering why the tracks, for me, seemed to surpass a lot of the material on the King of Limbs so easily. These seemed to just be instantly enjoyable. Both develop really well, but let's rely on the audio review below for the details.
Are these tracks for you? Find out in this review.

Reviews15 CommentsRadiohead's latest LP is a fan-pleasing piece of work. It's loaded with beautiful and well-recorded sounds, and even Thom Yorke's songwriting shows some muscle with moments like "Lotus Flower" and "Separator." But there's something that clicks away and eats away at the first half of this album, in my opinion. Though I like what I'm hearing, I can't say I'm enjoying how it's organized. It kinda sounds like the beat arrangements were produced on a "ctrl + c / ctrl + v" basis.
The second half of this album is a bit of a different story, though. "Give Up the Ghost" and "Codex" are a really nice break from the beats, but I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by what's going on here. Nothing here hit me with the emotional impact of earlier albums.
