Phil has said more than once that they’re not done. I believe Ed has said that there has not been a conversation between them that has made it clear that it’s over. (Tbf, I think most of these statements were said after this video was made). They always take a while to put out a record, I think all this stuff about it being their last is in part because of just how melancholic amsp was. They’re all just doing their own thing and enjoying that, I’m not convinced it’s radically different between them (except perhaps for some personal growth).

It's funny that Radiohead is almost my life discography, first listening to them as a kid due to my brother liking them and later keeping listening to their albums as I grow older. Moon Shaped Pool felt so fitting in the moment I was living too. However I don't think it feels like a final goodbye to the band, I think there's at least one more that could pull that feeling, or that is just me lingering and not letting the band go. Still, Radiohead had such positive impact on me, feels like a very long time friend.

I knew who they were since like 2014 but i only properly listened to them about a month ago

There is this weird synchronicity between radiohead album releases and my big personal break ups: In Rainbow was the end of an 11 month manic relationship King of Limbs was the end of my next long term relationship 2.5 years. the longest I had had to that point Moon Shaped Pool was the end of the most intense 4.5 year relationship. I played "true love waits" to my GF after she came home from an affair she had been having, I knew something was wrong, we tried to get past it for months, then Radiohead dropped MSP and I got chills when I saw the album ended with "true love waits". shortly after we broke up officially. I am married now with 2 kids, so I kind of hope Radiohead might be done making records cause I'd rather not loss my family. ;) The interesting thing about this synchronicity is despite this strange occurrence, I don't emotionally connect radiohead with only breakups. I was listening to In rainbows this morning for the first time in years and it wasn't just heart break and nostalgia, radiohead has this strange way of always sounding new or maybe timeless, the themes are so much bigger and obscure than "heart break" or dare I say "melancholy". Radiohead songs are kind of like tarot card readings or Rorschach paintings they are whatever the listener needs them to be. I think it is part of their magic.

A Moon Shaped Pool is my favourite Radiohead album personally maybe because I'm prone to melancholy. I got into Radiohead I would say in around 2019 where nearly Ill Wind just got released I would say. I've listened to all Radiohead albums and non intentionally in order which was somewhat coincidental but the point im trying to make is that perhaps A Moon Shaped Pool is the perfect conclusion to the discography of Radiohead. It's somewhat right of Radiohead to use their old tracks like for example True Love Waits. This song has been waiting for it's right place (no pun intended) since it's debut. The song however never made sense until the era of A Moon Shaped Pool which strikes as a tragedy. To me it becomes really haunting and perhaps perfect. I stated before in reddit "A moon shaped pool is probably my favourite Radiohead album because its so consistent and cold. I don't find Radioheads other albums depressing compared to this one. It has my favourite opener and I still remember hearing it for the first time (burn the witch). The album is so orchestral and cold. Even when its warm it just allows the atmosphere to be cold somehow. I can nearly taste winter with this album. I seriously love every song and the strings were a masterpiece here. Every song keeps you excited for the next one. Whenever I listen to it I just imagine Thom walking around the city walking through people without staring hence the song glass eyes and daydreaming existence. Its like walking around somewhere you thought existed trying to find somewhere warm but you can't. It's like different stories into one album. Its like walking around without caring. Its like a beautiful walk around somewhere cold as I've actually experienced it. If Radiohead ended with this being the final album I mean I seriously wouldn't mind as this is literally the perfect closure and ending. Its their old works all added to a new album. Its heartbreaking as what Thom went through. He lost his wife to cancer and songs like daydreaming and especially true love waits must've been hard to record. I really love the anticipation of true love waits for an actual place and especially a way to close the album. I personally love the true love waits (album version) more as it tells a different tale much more different than the live version. It was a song waiting for perfection and its time. I'd honestly give this album a 10 and it definitely deserves it's S tier rank. This is definitely in my top 3 albums of all time and everytime I keep changing opinions but I truly believe ill stick with this being my favourite."

That analysis on the “half of my life” line was brilliant

As much as I should want Radiohead to come back with a new album, A Moon Shaped Pool feels like a perfect ending in many ways, so I can't blame them if they decide they don't need to make any more studio albums. Also, Spectre at this point might be one of my Top 10 Radiohead Songs.

They definitely don't want their last album to be that sad. The final album will be something of a hopeful or clean break or something to inspire the next generation I imagine. I anticipate they're going to go all out on it and the reason Thom is doing The Smile is to clear the air and get a certain creative spark running and to feel like fresh again

Maybe I'm being too hopeful but I have a feeling they will still do at least one more album. I'd bet on something new around 2024/2025. Thom has released a little something every year since the release of AMSP and idk if it's just my impression but he just seems to be too musically restless to just stop with the band, especially considering the members don't have any type of interpersonal drama (that we know of, of course) that would force them to quit. And they've already reached that point in their career where they don't have to rush anything new, so I think it's just a matter of time. However if they decided to quit now AMSP really is a good way to go.

Imagine if they had already announced their retirement before they made this video

These Radiohead videos have been fantastic as I finally got into them just this year. I had heard random songs countless times for well over a decade, but it never "clicked" until I started listening to their albums as a whole. It's an incredibly feeling to find new favorites, and these dissections played no small part in helping me understand why I love them so much.

I love AMSP. I recently found the white vinyl randomly in my favorite shop and picked it up, since I had been looking for it. Great video. True Love Waits, has a special place for me. It is without a doubt their most depressing song, but also one of their most beautiful. I always interpreted it as, waiting for something/someone you love will hurt more than anything, but it is relentless and refuses to let go, like a small candle that is almost burnt out but keeps going. To wait means to suffer, but time is also limited in a way, cause one day, one way or another, the waiting will finally be over, the suffering will be gone, and only pure love has carried you all that way. The wait is finally over and we are reunited with that small piece we were missing that meant everything. True Love Waits.

I recently had an amazing experience walking around The National Gallery in London for an entire day and listening to Radiohead the entire time. I heard The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesia, In Rainbows and capped it with A Moon Shaped Pool - all in chronological order. These aren't all their studio albums of course, but it's a big chunk of them, and certainly what I'd say is the essential Radiohead listening experience. I've heard all these albums before, but never this way, this close to each other, and with very little distraction other than looking at paintings. I'm almost convinced that A Moon Shaped Pool is their final statement. Perhaps, more aptly, Thom's final statement with Radiohead. The quick listening means I was able to have the sounds of the various albums fresh in my mind, and A Moon Shaped Pool is where they synthesize every era of their trajectory into what I think is the 'most Radiohead' album of their catalog, if that makes any sense. There is no hesitation, no second-guessing with that album - it is the work of a supremely confident band. The fact that it ends with a reworked version of True Love Waits. a song that has existed since 1995 and therefore almost as old as the band itself, speaks volumes to me. Radiohead starts and ends with True Love Waits.

As much as i love radiohead, i still feel like they have the creativity and the energy to make one more album. As a fan i really want more radiohead music but i can understand if this is their last project as a band. This album feels so personal, its soft, calm and very mellow. The sound they produced on this album is so much different from their other projects and it does feel like a perfect send off album to what has been an amazing discography. I dont mind if they take more time to release another album, they can retire and still be one of the greatest bands to bless us with their music.

Insane that it's been the longest gap between albums now, the wait from TKOL to AMSP felt much longer than the release of AMSP til now

I love Radiohead. My mother and father listened to them while I was still in the womb and ever since. They've been there from the beginning for me. The songs resonate with me on a level nothing else in my life does. When I listen to their songs, I feel like myself, the music runs deep in my mind. So when I type this, I don't mean it lightly; I would be absolutely fine with A Moon Shaped Pool being the last album. The songs they've given us are so timeless and never get old, so I feel like it's all more than enough (atleast personally) The lads will probably never stop making music, I'm guessing, but honestly? I'm satisfied with everything they've given us. One day I'll listen to all they've made when it's all said and done, but I'm in no rush, I still listen to every song like it's the first time. Absolutely love this band.

Radiohead have released some of my all-time favourite albums, and A Moon Shaped Pool has been up there with their best for me. Obviously classics like In Rainbows and OK Computer will always be hard to beat. If they do release new music someday, I'm pretty sure it won't disappoint, but they've given us so much great music it's hard to be too disappointed if Moon Shaped Pool is their swansong.

I hope it’s not their last album. 😢

It’s so interesting to me that MSP came up as the saddest Radiohead album. It doesn’t feel depressing to me. For whatever reason, a lot of the songs, especially True Love Waits, has a very warm and comforting effect on me. Hail to the Thief is usually the one that ends up bumming me out the most.

Awesome! Your videos about Radiohead are the reason why I started listening to them and why they eventually became my favourite band! However, I mostly listened to the albums from the Bends to in Rainbows, but apparently I've got another Album to check out. Oh and in my opinion it's definitely the right choice they waited with burn the witch. I recently discovered it and was surprised by how good it was. Without the orchestra it would not have the same incredible feeling.

I said to a mate it seems like it could be a fitting end. I think Yorke and Greenwood have such a well of creativity that they almost need all of their groups just to satisfy all their creative avenues that they want to explore. I guess with Radiohead, comes the expectation of massive 2 year long tours etc, and at this stage of the game given their age and they’ve done it for years could mean AMSP was their last album. Time will tell.

A moon shaped pool marked a point of no return in my life, really love this album with my soul.

We'll always need one more.

ive been hoping for the longest time for a video about a moon shaped pool, its by far my favourite of their albums, its just such a beautiful record front to back

This is really good! Great how you put this altogether...one of your best videos man! Thank you!

Ayyy! Finally! My man you definitely gotta do a video on Mezzanine by Massive Attack. How that album came out in 1998 blows my mind, if it came out tomorrow it'd still sound so fresh and like the future, and the production is fucking godly, easily some of the best and most unique I've ever heard

Production on these vids is SO good

havent even listened to this album in full but your videos are so damn good

The fact the closure "True Love Awaits" has been in development for over two decades makes me cry! Definitely the best way to say "farewell"!

Finally someone has done a video on this thought I’ve long had.

I love the motion graphics here, very well done!

very cool video !!!! good job man. really enjoyed it. much love

I listen to this album at least once a week ever since it’s release and it never gets old. It’s like a comforting place to go and just be.

this video just made me love radiohead even more thanks

Excellent upload. I’m nearly 50. A huge Radiohead fan. And this is brilliant. Very insightful. And genuine.

I love this album so much! It’s also my favourite Radiohead album. I was on a trip in Norway and listened this in it’s entirely. Really like the sound & theme. and stories are pretty interesting.

I hope they keep doing it as long as they feel they can keep it not only fresh and creative but also as long as the bands rapport remains so positive. Also I think that Thom is a creative force of nature, even if it's not with Radiohead, I feel he'll be writing music till the day he dies. I think the current state of the world is either causing some inspiration or it's an area where they may not feel they're not wanting to release anything at the current moment. Regardless, I geuss we'll just have to wait and see

A Moon Shaped Pool made its way deeper and deeper into my heart through the years, slowly becoming my favorite album (from my favorite band). So sad to think this could be the last, but it truly is a perfect end, as bittersweet as it is🥲

Beautiful video. Fits delicate aesthetic of the album itself.

I've been invested in their back catalogue, so it's nice to hear takes from the more recent material, it'll make me focus on it more

Just don’t leave 😢 I’m still hoping I get the chance to see Radiohead live or to hear a new album of theirs.

How fitting is it that they never come out with a “10th” studio album. It’s so, Radiohead of them.

my favorite radiohead tribute channel

Surely my favorite album of all time, till 2017 it still keeps growing on me! "Born of a light, one i didn't know, totally alive..."

So grateful I got to see Radiohead live at Lollapalooza in 2016, amazing show, you can watch it on here still. One of the favorite concerts I was lucky enough to get to be present for.

Got into them after Moon Shaped Pool so I want to experience the release of at least one album.

I honestly don't mind what they do next, like you said, this wouldn't be a bad ending to one of the greatest discographies of a band I've ever seen. But, me being a massive fan, I really hope they make more stuff. I don't think more music would take away from the impact that AMSP had, since, like Greenwood said, it was the end of a chapter.

@middle8, job well done on yet another well informed and delivered band release video! I predicted soon after fully absorbing this album back in 2016 that it would indeed be Radiohead's last. There is a sense on finality in it, tying up loose ends and paying homage to their fans in studio recording long awaited for previously shelved tracks. Upon hearing the recent release of Yorke/Greeenwood's side project The Smile (A Light for Attracting Attention), I am further convinced Radiohead is no more. AMSP, the perfect bookend to their illustrious discography.

I've been following Radiohead since Pablo Honey. Saw them live for the first time on the Amnesiac tour and many times since. I can't begin to wrap my head around a world where the band doesn't exist anymore. Having said that, I agree with the video and the comments: If this were the last album, it would not only make sense, but it would quite literally be the perfect final album. I will say this: The last time I saw them (Moon Shaped Pool tour), they were as incredible and fresh as any other time I've seen them. They've never disappointed and it didn't feel like I was a watching a band that was done. The Smile proves that Thom and Jonny clearly have more to say. And while it's a fantastic album, it's not Radiohead. I'm going to hold onto hope that once this Smile tour is over, and Thom and Jonny have had a bit of a rest, the band will reconvene for a proper follow-up. Something tells me they (as a 5-piece) have more stories to tell. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

This album is a masterpiece! Oh…and so is this video. Great job!

I'm pretty sure that Ed said in a interview that Radiohead will make another alb,he just didn't know when Though I won't be mad if this is Radioheads last album

I think they'll get together anytime in the next decade or so. There's no hurry, it's just timing. The Smile is fantastic and shows just how into it they still are! Always awesome.

Great video. A Moon Shape Pool is a beautiful album and it does indeed sound like a final goodbye. But I do hope we will get more Radiohead still.

The excellent totally free and fun time Thom and Jonny had doing their work on the Smile album makes me think MORE so that LP10 IS COMING!!!! Ed did his solo album - Phil has always worked on his own stuff, Jonny has become THE go to movie music composer and upper echelon modern classical music writer, and none of us are sure what Colin does, but probably sit around love his amazing life and write ludicrously amazing basslines. The Smile is a really awesome piece of work, but Thom and Jonnny on their own - that does not foretell the end. Watch them play "You" acoustic, then they did a series of 2 man acoustic/electric shows promoting "Hail to the Thief" - amazing by the way for any RH listener who never heard them - their is an audio performance "Capital Records" and an astonishing live set from some French program - the version of "There, There" is my favorite moment in Radiohead history - then they did a bunch of stuff in 2018 to pre-covid here and there just having a blast with laptops, guitars, loopers and synths - Sisterio some venue in Italy - whole show is on YT - it is an obvious lead-up to The Smile. And Thom's solo and Atoms for Peace stuff and composing Suspirium - he has always been at it. I think with Nigel and Stanley and still very much in musical prime in their early to mid 50's, they have got to have a lot to bring together and my hope is the most recent side stuff like EOB and the obvious joy behind The Smile - it has got to have them wanting to go into collaboration mode again to see where they are at now. I can see a very dense and maybe like - it takes 3 years before it hits you type album - or an emphasis on fun and all of the incredible skills they have all acquired - who knows if they'd want to find out how this would end up with them all back together but 9 while a super cool number, 10 - the whole binary thing - is an old RH trope and I believe - people I believe!!! Late 2023 or early 2024. Oh and if you are as much of a mega fan as I am and have seen the mentioned sets, you are in for an absolute Radiohead treasure treat X100, please check them out! Support The Smile - it may be our best way to influence them back in. And tell PTA to take a few years off from films so we don't have Jonny distracted (actually he is a genius I don't want that - Jonny can do both).

I hope they do 1 more, as I've only become a fan in the last year or so, and would love to go through an album release

@@kadenw8068 for me it totally worked I mean it was exactly the kind of album that if radiohead would have released It it would have become one of my favourite album of theirs, but it's just my opinion

I remember starting to listen Radiohead back in 2015 because it sounded so different to all I was hearing at the time. I became really obsessed with them for months and when A Moon Shaped Pool came out, it caught me off guard. It quickly became my second favorite album (after the masterpice: Kid A) because it was way melancholic and somehow everything in the album felt good, different from start to finish. Now, 6 years later, I can say that if this was their last album, it would be sad but they said goodbye with a masterpiece. I mean, Daydreaming is one of their best and the video is like a recap of all their career. But let's hope they reunite soon and keep making some good music.

Can totally relate. That was the time I started exploring them too. Someone recommended to me that Radiohead's music evolved a lot and that intrigued me. So I started listening to each album in chronological order over a year and was amazed. No band like Radiohead.

A very interesting thing that wasn't mentioned was Nigel's thoughts on the production of AMSP. He said he basically had to create the entire album through editing and splicing takes together because "thom doesn't write like he used to" Nigel made it seem like the band wasn't in the right headspace to actually make an album, resulting in a difficult production session but the final product is so good that any issues aren't really noticeable. What's funny is that after that interview with Nigel came out, The Smile debuted so clearly Thom (and Jonny) can still write. I hope The Smile serves as a creative output for them so they can bring other ideas to Radiohead. I've been wanting them to do a more straightforward, guitar-centric album ever since In Rainbows and A Light for Attracting Attention fits that perfectly. I can see a new Radiohead album coming in a year or two. Especially since they've said countless times that they want to stop making full albums yet they always come back with another one after some time.

I agree that True Love Waits would be a perfectly fitting final song for the band, however Ed O'Brien said that a new album "will definitely happen" but he doesn't know when.

As an old-new radiohead fan (my mom listened to their music when I was a baby and I discovered them later into my mid-20s), I really enjoyed this album after jumping all the way from Ok Computer! True Love Wait’s lyric “I’m not living, I’m just killing time” especially hits me hard despite me not especially relating to it, I sing that one sentence to myself all the time. I also love Decks Dark 🥰

Started listening to Radiohead only after A Moon Shaped Pool came out. Feels like I'm so very late to the party, but hey its an amazing end to an amazing discography.

This is my most favourite Radiohead album. The mastering quality is amazing!

Top level video as always. It would be a shame to never see them release something new again.

I have fond memories of this and OK Computer. I was 16 when Moon came out and having a very hard time at school, with my friends, with a girl I loved and with my parents. It was both a time of low points and blissful youth. One year later I got into OK and I was a maturing into a different person, learning from what my life had forced me to learn until that point. I viewed those same people and situations in a different light. Its awesome how some music instantly takes us back to very specific times in our lives.

When it came out, it didn’t immediately hit me like some others. I still saw them on that tour of course and the songs were amazing live. Since then, however, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it. I think it’s perfect and it’s one of my favorites.
