A Moon Shaped Pool is one of Radiohead’s most personal works, an incredible feat when one considers that their discography includes albums like In Rainbows. However, A Moon Shaped Pool leans perhaps farther away from conventional rock than any other Radiohead album before it. It favors stripped-down piano arrangements and orchestral and choral elements that only elevate the impact of the beautiful lyrics and musicianship.
