Their ninth album just came out. A Moon Shaped Pool. Diving into it right now. Any thoughts?

Disagree.
In Rainbows is their 3rd-4th best album depending on my mood.
King of Limbs is the only disappointment in their catalog and even that produced a couple of their best songs.

Codex is one of my favorites. I'm also a sucker for Radiohead piano ballads.Disagree.

Really digging this so far. Daydreaming and Decks Dark are my two favorite tracks so far.

I'm always blown away at everything going on instrumentally. So many layers and unique sounds.

The Numbers is the best on this one, I think.

Been listening to the album all week. I like it, but it's probably their third worst album, which is a compliment of the band's catalog.
OK Computer
The Bends
Kid A
Hail to the Thief
In Rainbows
Amnesiac
Moon Shaped Pool
King of Limbs
Pablo Honey

I like their early stuff. I'm not sophisticated enough to comprehend the later work.

OK Computer at 20.

Anniversary came and went unnoticed for me...but getting back into it now.
They also re-released OK Computer with a dozen or so previously unreleased songs from that era. The video for "I Promise" is here and sounds just as good as anything they've ever released.

They've been shit since Kid A
Been on a Radiohead kick lately, so I've softened my stance on this.
I still think "The Bends" through "Kid A" is as good a three album effort as most bands ever (maybe Dylan, Springsteen and the Beatles did better)? Maybe I was rough on them because those three albums are so good. I still think their bottom 3-4 albums are all pretty bad.
Thief is OK, I guess. But Amnesiac, King of Limbs and Pablo Honey I just can't get into.
But the top 3 are all 10/10 and In Rainbows is much much better than I originally gave it credit for. Still really like Moon Shaped Pool too.
Happy, NMS? Lol.

I should also add that I think OK Computer is the second or third best album ever.

I probably posted this already but I go:
1. OK Computer - agreed with your assessment. One of the best albums of all time.
2. The Bends - This for me is when Radiohead became Radiohead.
3. Kid A - I could never really appreciate this as much as others but I have come around a lot throughout the years.
4. In Rainbows - Really loved the return to what felt like a studio album for them after some experimentation.
5. Hail to the Thief - Very underrated. Long, but very few misses.
6. Amnesiac - Some good atmospheric stuff. Feels like a B side album to Kid A.
7. A Moon Shaped Pool - Much better than KOL, still left me feeling underwhelmed.
8. King of Limbs - Codex is one of their best songs ever and Lotus Flower is a solid single, otherwise, nothing.
9. Pablo Honey - Is this really a Radiohead album?
