Thom Yorke - The Eraser

Anyone heard it yet? Official release seems to be July 10th, but I'm guessing it's already available somewhere.

 

I've only given it a cursory listen but so far it just sounds like a lot of derivitive twaddle. Kind of like Yorke has spent a year or so just listening to some minimal techno/electronica/blip music with a little experimental thrown in.

There are an awful lot of folks that do it a lot better than this but this is merely my first impression. WHen I've given it some more time I'll post a little review.

It got 2/5 in the Sunday Times yesterday. Safe to assume it's rubbish I think.

i rather like it. grows on you. think you should like electronic music before trying it...

 

The music doesnt sound too bad, but his voice ruins it.
