father figure ass album

Holy shit what an amazing fucking album. Every song on here hits harder than a mum on Father’s Day. It’s definitely the heaviest Radiohead album I’ve listened to so far and I’m all for it. They all have a pop backbone which make them super memorable and they don’t all sound the same either. They each have their own unique qualities that make them worth coming back to. I’ve rated all of Radioheads albums 5/5 so far but I have a feeling that there won’t be any more perfect ratings. This is probably my favourite of the three.
