Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 86.7/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

The standout tracks: Burn the Witch is such a dynamic and hypnotic opening track that it makes me wish the rest of the album kept up this pace. Desert Island Disk is sublime and True Love Waits is a heartbreaking closer.
This is probably either my third or fourth favourite Radiohead album. It's that good.
Such a chill album but emotional at the same time
In no way, shape or form should this album be in the Top 100 Greatest Albums Of All Time.

One of my favorite records of Radiohead just because of the overall depressing feeling it has. Decks Dark is a perfect song.

Calculo que habré escuchado este álbum unas 5 veces, considerando que he repetido algunas canciones cientas de veces, como Daydreaming, Decks Dark y True Love Waits, mis 3 favoritas personalmente, seguidas de cerca por Present Tense. Probablemente el último álbum que nos entregue Radiohead. No tienen que lanzar otro más. Es un gran cierre a una genial discografía. Por supuesto que me gustaría que lancen otro, ¿cómo no? Mas eso escapa de mi poder. Thom y Jonny están enfocados en proyectos como The Smile.
En fin, hablemos de A Moon Shaped Pool, la frase que repite Thom armonizando en Identikit y que le da el título al álbum. Es muy sólido, pero como cualquiera tiene sus ups and downs: están Desert Island Disk y Tinker Tailor que son throw-away tracks, Desert siendo un poco superior. El resto goza de una solidez innegable. Burn the Witch abre el álbum de manera solemne, cuasi-vanguardista, una canción cuyo videoclip no puede ser pasado por alto. Daydreaming es quizá el punto álgido del disco, tan solo como segundo tema. La melancolía condensada que define el estilo de Radiohead mimetiza su epítome sonoro para inmortalizar una de las mejores canciones de la banda. Al final se incluyen ronquidos reminiscentes a los de A Day in the Life, la mejor canción de la historia. Decks Dark es un tema que mejora cuanto más se escucha, sobre todo la última parte, el outro o el bridge si se quiere así. Ful Stop y Glass Eyes forman una dupla curiosa hacia la mitad del álbum, no creo personalmente que lo sostengan tan bien, pero eso varía entre gustos. Siento que Ful Stop está muy altamente calificada en este sitio web. Glass Eyes, con menos de 3 minutos, podría ser tranquilamente una throw-away track de ser otra banda, pero desde que comienza la producción te sobrecoge de manera inenarrable. Identikit es una obra maestra, de la misma manera que Present Tense, esta última quizá cara a cara con Daydreaming como la mejor canción del disco. The Numbers n'est pas mal. El cierre es brillante. Si Thom no había podido completar True Love Waits hacia los 90s, menos mal que se decidió postergar su lanzamiento, así como con Nude, para finalmente ofrecernos esta bellísima, personalísima y desgarradora versión de un tema que inmortaliza a la banda como el último tema de su último disco hasta la fecha.
A Moon Shaped Pool es un disco que debe ser escuchado por lo menos una vez, pues todos los caminos -OKC, Kid A-Amnesiac-HTTT-In Rainbows, conducen al magnífico cierre al que evolucionó una experimental y vanguardista (de todo menos pusilánime) agrupación musical como Radiohead.
A Moon Shaped Pool has all of the hallmarks of a Radiohead album but it feels far more mature in it's delivery and influences. The time spent away from each other learning different crafts has been to the betterment of the band especially Johnny Greenwood's time composing film scores. It comes together to create an album of intense emotion and flair that uses new instrumentation to further extend the talents of the band.
With Radiohead's most recent album, they explore a more spacious and melancholic sound. While this leads to some tracks being potentially less memorable, this makes A Moon Shaped Pool a deeply emotional listen from start to finish, with references to Thom Yorke's personal life alongside global topics like climate change. Radiohead as a group prove that they have remained musical geniuses over several decades of music production , and I sincerely hope that this is not the last we see of them.
Top 3 tracks: True Love Waits, Ful Stop, Daydreaming
What a surprise! I though such a newer album wouldn't hold up as well as the classics. Boy was I wrong!
