Top 79 Music Albums of 2016 by

After #41 this is a complete mess (obviously I like all of these records, but they're in no kind of order whatsoever, largely because I haven't yet figured out how much I like them). Will get it sorted properly when I have the time (maybe).

I'm no Radiohead stan (I loved OK Computer when I was 13, but it's largely lost its lustre over the years; I think Kid A is really cool but still vastly overrated; I found their last album to be a total chore; all that said, I have lots and lots of love for Amnesiac, The Bends, and particularly In Rainbows), but A Moon Shaped Pool is one of my favourite albums of the year. It's dense, perfect for twilight listening, and utterly heartbreaking. Love the synthesis of their now-trademark subtle, gloomy electronics, spidery guitar work, and Greenwood's newly honed vibrant orchestral arrangements, not to mention the welcome addition of a distinct British folk rock vibe on a few of the tracks. Yorke's lyrics still feature that classic Radiohead cynicism and anxiety, but this time they feel more direct and personal than ever, often referring very specifically to tragically doomed romance. It might be their most laidback album musically, but it's still a heavy album, full of sonic nooks and crannies to hibernate in, with more than a few moments calling to mind the likes of Gavin Bryars, Brian Eno, William Basinski - it might even be their most accessible album, at least in terms of traditionally pretty melodies, since OK Computer (whisper it, but a significant proportion of these songs are downright catchy), though it cleverly eschews that album's sometimes cringeworthy youthful angst in favour of something far more mature and nuanced.
