The Smile | Wall Of Eyes FIRST REACTION | Part 1 

You have no idea the amount of stuff I just abandoned to watch this video. Been waiting for it, it's like sharing an album I love with a friend.

The title track is one of the best things I've ever heard

Read The Room is genius! One of the best songs to come out of Thom and Jonny (& Tom) in a long time. Instant classic.

seeing them live in Amsterdam this year was a dream come true!

Honestly, Wall of Eyes, the title track, is probably my favourite song of the year. When it released as the first single I actually found it underwhelming! Grew on me massively when the album released.

I saw them live for the first time back in March and they blew me away

Under Our Pillows is sp trippy. I love it.

That groove that starts in the middle of "Under Our Pillows", so good!

“Where we going?!” Thom- “Soon you’ll be there” ❤

*Read the Room* was the music I was most looking forward to since they played it back in 2022! 🧡

Finally! So glad you're back. The songs really unlock themselves with repeated listens. There are a couple incredible songs in the second half. Looking forward to your next video!

I've been watching your content since your first Radiohead reaction, and with no insult to your early content, it's been really cool to see your commentary and observations mature and refine!

Really, really like both albums. Many moments on those records I likes as much as Radiohead or even more so. I’ve been saying I think Thom and Jonny are in another golden age of songwriting. New songs they’ve been playing sound awesome too. Really looking forward to LP3!

I like your abstract description of Radioheads sound ( beautiful and disturbing etc.). Loving the Smile right now. I like the jammy meandering kraut-rocky direction. Similar but still distinct from Radiohead. I think you'd really like the band Can (and anyone else here who enjoys when Radiohead/Smile get all hypnotic). 70's psychedelic droney, percussion driven music. I'm certain Radiohead members must be fans. It's missing Radioheads beautiful soaring vocals and melody's, but they have the interesting and delicate grooves. "Future Days" & "Tago Mago" are good places to start. Even though Can didn't use computers or much electronics, it's almost like they invented electronic music / IDM before the technology was available. They're often cited as a large influence on early electronic artists. Great for setting a certain background vibe too.

Loved seeing your initial impressions of some new (not)Radiohead material, as always. My hype for your reaction to Bending Hectic is immeasurable lol.

I missed you!! ❤❤❤. I LOVE the album, I hope you too. Bending Hectic it's just amazing. Kisses from Argentina

Really looking forward to the part 2 here. Hope youre doing well mate!

Yes do the second half. It's all amazing

OMFG IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE THIS CAME OUT!!!!!!!!!

I missed you😊 going to watch asap

I think you will love this record the second half is even better (to me). I love the Beatles vibe on this album.

Great points/thoughts made. Looking forward to part II.

At times this record seems like the Beatles made it when they were in their 50s or formed in the 90s.

Bending Hectic is my favorite song of the decade so far, but I didn’t like the album near as much as A Light for Attracting Attention.

DO A PART 2, the 2 best songs on the album are in the second half

I like the second album better than the first one but they're both good records.

I preferred their first album

Teleharmonic though..? Mmmmm

Weird place to ask kinda, but are you gonna play and possibly record your playthrough of shadow of the erdtree? It'd be good content for the second channel. I'm excited for it, counting down the days until release.

For me it’s another great album but not as good as the first one. It’s also a little on the short side. They have several other tracks they’ve been performing live that they could have also included. However this is a minor point. It’s another album that’s at least an 8/10

i didn't quite like this album as a whole, but i loved Teleharmonic, Read the Room and Friend of a Friend

Similar to In Rainbows, the second half is weaker than the first.
