Love The Eraser. Thom Yorke is a genius. The Drift is a very interesting piece of work. Not at all accessible to the casual fan, but well worth the investment of time for those with patience.

I see it like a trip to a modern art museum. you don't get it at first --but you often end up thinking about it for weeks and months afterwards.

I sometimes find it very unsettling to listen to; to me always the mark of a real piece of art. I really hope the documentary about him (30th Century Man) will be released here.

I've put it on and had to turn it off at times. Sometimes it just kinda freaks me out. But with every listen, it is just more and more interesting. Glad to hear someone else on the board is into it.

I picked up Tilt and Climate of the Hunter a few days ago -- I'm hoping they open up to me like this one has.

I downloaded a few tunes off Tilt. Farmer in The City is incredible (and again, very scary.)

Barry Manilow - Classics of the 50's.

Really good if you're wanting to hear 50's music.

Those are the only 3 albums I've bought for myself this year... but in about 2-3 months, the Eagles are gonna be coming out with an album of all-new material, their first since 1979's "The Long Run", and you can bet I'll fork over for that one, too...
