Just giving it a spin now.
"Bloom" - uh... better than expected, Radiohead does glitch, more of this please
"Morning Mr. Magpie" - meh
"Little by Little" - repetitive, sounds like a HTTF b-side, meh again
"Feral" - better, but nothing special, lots of staccato sounds... pleasant enough but still too repetitive
"Lotus Flower" - some very odd sounding beats in a surprisingly conventional mid-tempo time signature... danceable and one of the better songs on the album
"Codex" - This is a surprise, a laid-back post-Kid A Radiohead ballad?
"Give up the Ghost" - another meh track, continues in the upbeat direction of "Codex", but it sounds like nothing new on the whole... so bored of distorted Thom Yorke vocals.
"Seperator" - Some interesting dissonances make this above-average for me, but still nothing close to what they are capable of. What a shame.
4/10
