The More You Try To Erase Me

////

So I listened toThom Yorke's leaked "not-a-solo" album The Eraser about six times last night. This isn't going to be a review, since when it comes to anything Radiohead-related I'm unable to attain any sort of distance - my brain shuts down and I start to drool and a review would basically be the sound of me making orgasm sounds.

But man... it's good.

Now, I don't want anyone to think that just because I got my grubby mitts on a copy an entire month before it's to be officially released this means I won't be buying a copy on July 11th like a responsible, law-abiding citizen, because OF COURSE I will buy a copy. I'm far too gone not to. Am I supposed to be sated without all of the album's artwork? Without a pretty, real copy to sit on my shelf and gather dust? Please. And Thom brings me far too much pleasure not to want to line his pockets with gold, anyway. Gotta buy lil' Noah a good education!

Plus, atease web shares this:

"Please note that the sound quality [of the leaked copy] is not as it should be. All promo copies have been watermarked; the removal of this watermark influences the quality"

Ha ha, i feel much the same way.

Also, the cover art is pretty. You don't need any more reasons.
