Its just taken me a few days to decide how I feel about them.
Nothing of much interest happens until the halfway mark, when various haunted synths start making themselves known.
And…thats sort of it.
I dont want to look a gift horse in the mouth here.
This is an enjoyable listen.
Its just not quite up to the lofty standard that this superfan holds Yorke to.
Right now, this one is at best my third-favorite of the Reckoner-related renditions mentioned in this paragraph.
But hey, maybe itll grow on me?
As for The Hollow Earth, that one gets an unqualified rave from me.
Cant get em out of my head.
Im especially fond of the sick drum-machine solos (yes, solos plural) at roughly 1:27 and 3:35.
The Hollow Earth even comes with a cool-looking YouTube video, which you’re able to watch below.
So go ahead, click play, then chime in: Have you heard Thom Yorkes new single?
Which side do you like better?
