British album certifications – Thom Yorke – The Eraser". British Phonographic Industry. Select albums in the Format field. Select Gold in the Certification field. Type The Eraser in the "Search BPI Awards" field and then press Enter. I thought The Eraser was awesome from the day I bought it (which I think was the day, or at least the week of its first release). Its kind of like Radiohead light. It has a similar mood and atmosphere, but its more of a bitesize collection of electronica songs. The glitches and beeps compliment Thom's vocals and the piano work really well. The lyrics are also excellent. "Harrowdown Hill" has very intruiging lyrics about some PM guy who may have been killed but it looked like suicide or something (I know NOTHING about politics, and I never watch the news lol). But I learnt a little something from this, "did he slip or was he pushed?" questions Thom. "Cymbal Rush" is a freakin awesome closer and the album always makes me think, wow Thom really can sing! His vocal performance MAKES this album! He met the future members of Radiohead - Colin and Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway - at the Abingdon public school in Oxford.

I felt very sad listening to the song but I couldn't give it some solid meaning. eaten by the worms, thank you so much, I realized why it was. Its a love song. I cant believe thom can write love songs still, he's married, not to mention. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I really wasn't excited about a Thom Yorke solo album. I mean, we've all heard the stories of what Radiohead has been like ever since OK Computer - according to most sources, Thom Yorke has pushed and pulled the band in various directions that other members weren't happy about (at least initially), and only the majority voice from O'Brien, the Greenwoods, and the bald one has kept him in any sort of realm that resembled the Radiohead of yesteryear. There are moments on Kid A and Amnesiac that felt like the solo meanderings of Yorke, and they're frankly the worst songs in Radiohead's catalogue. I Might Be Wrong, for me the most revealing moment in Radiohead's catalogue, gives weight to that theory. Observe how "Like Spinning Plates", a useless, boring doodle, is transformed into a thing of majestic beauty when the other 4 get their hands on it. Michaels, Sean.
