I mean yeah its name is apt because all memory of it has been erased.
Nah, I lie. I like this. Feels like a nice addendum to Amnesiac or sth. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
love this album. harrowdown hill in particular... it's such a simple song with a ton of repetition, but it gets me right in the feels. my first dog died a few days after the release. i was in high school, working the summer as a custodian, and i had this album in my cd player on repeat that entire day while i was scrubbing toilets and definitely not crying. that's probably a pretty big contributor, but all that aside, i really think this is a great album.

Now I like that track even more. What a harrowing memory. Sometimes pain and the growth therefrom are the best memories though. Hoping it's the latter. Also custodian work was the best with music - hours of music and ignoring the world while doing mostly hypnotic (albeit tiring, but lucky for me almost never gross) work. I couldn't imagine doing that for an elementary school though. 5am at the university one semester for me... then I decided I couldn't do mornings like that anymore.
I love that track because it was kinda a wet dream to think Flea and Thom Yorke teamed up and came up with it... something tells me it was just Thom and Flea just played along, but idk.
Seeing the two onstage being equally weird still gives me the fanboi chills:
Also only 116 albums left and I'll have finished my library listen. It's nice to go through the whole thing every so often.
Anyway, this is probs his best solo record? I haven't heard that Anima release yet though and it seemed like peeps went ape shit over that (more than Tomorrow's Modern Boxes?)

hard to say which record is his "best". sort of apples to oranges. for me, the eraser and anima are easily his two best non-radiohead efforts. anima is probably more imaginative and less derivative, but the eraser has more of a pop quality with earworms and more distinct structure.
tomorrow's modern boxes, atoms for peace, and suspiria are all somewhere on the ok to good spectrum for me. if it wasn't THE tomas york, i probably wouldn't give those a second spin. but the eraser and anima are definitely where it's at.
maybe the only album I can think of where its remix album counterpart is infinitely superior. idk most of these tracks feel weirdly empty to me, and some of the production choices feel almost idk amateurish? like the kind of shit you'd make while you're still learning your way around a new DAW or something. Thom's vocals help tie it together a bit but the whole thing just maintains this sense of really missing something. maybe that's why I prefer the remix album as much as I do, I feel like a lot of that aural white space got filled in in a (usually) fairly interesting manner, or at least one that made the individual tracks feel less interchangeable _________________ A Variety of Artists
