    I hope it’s more like the 1st album…. The 2nd did nothing for me.

    Based on the singles so far, this album it’s own thing.

    Excited for this. I loved Bending Hectic on the last album.

    Hope they tour again in the states. The show I saw was fantastic.

    It about made me fall asleep. Big pitchfork score though.

    I should give it a second listen, but man... the first time through was so incredibly underwhelming and uninspiring. By contrast, there were many tracks off the 1st album that had me immediately hooked.

    I'll definitely check out the new album, and will definitely see them live if they come around again (Their one Boston show a couple years ago was phenomenal). 

    What's going on w/ Radiohead? Clearly TY & JG don't want to stop making music. I wonder who's behind the hold up / Radiohead hiatus.

    My feeling is that they're just in such a groove now w/ The Smile that they're not focused on anything else. I feel like RH will come around and this side project will be on hiatus @ some point.....1 or 5 years from now....

    agreed. 

    they took a break to do solo projects. the pandemic happened. projects just started getting done and now here they are. 


    As an entity they haven't said they were done. They've all said RH will get together at some point. I'm sure their feeling is, we accomplished all we wanted to do as RH so we do here on out is a cherry on top.

    if The Smile started playing RH tunes, I'd get nervous. But they'll want to at least play those tunes together again.
