Reviews
"The overall mood is austere and claustrophobic....THE ERASER cultivated uneasiness with snaky melodies..." -- Grade: B-, 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE ERASER showcases Yorke's ability to shape-change in all its peerlessness....THE ERASER plots a new course for becalmed electronica...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "This is his most personal, confessional work. Call it a blog with beats -- low on guitars and high on abstract expressive moodiness.", Ranked #17 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "THE ERASER was a low-key, unassertive, largely electronic reminder of Yorke's winning way with song textures...", Ranked #34 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "The sound recalls KID A's quiet glitch-tronic moments, in disarmingly straight-forward verse-chorus-verse tunes.", Ranked #28 in Spin's "The 40 Best Albums of 2006" -- "THE ERASER pulls off a neat trick, making the dour almost danceable and weighty weirdness not only palatable, but impossible to turn away from.", "He's crammed the album with swirling pianos, sampled drums and even his own voice as a chordal backing instrument....It sounds remarkable.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Yorke is in fine, soulful voice...relishing its sound as much as his words. THE ERASER has him firing on all cylinders.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Yorke's voice has never sounded so fragile; his melodies have never sounded so mournful....Something different, something we haven't heard before."
