Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Thom Yorke, main man of Radiohead, releases his debut solo album entitled ERASER. Featuring nine new tracks produced by Nigel Godrich.

Amazon.com

Some writers and fans have taken to calling this album Kid B, the (obvious) implication that it's the companion piece to Radiohead's masterpiece of electronic rock. And while The Eraser does compare favorably to that work, it's no longer ahead of its time, just simply of its time. We can't all be visionaries all the time, however, and it's understandable that Yorke wants to play with his computer more than he gets to with his rock and roll band. Looped bubbly bloops, sleight drones, and curious bleeps complement Yorke's distinctive vocals throughout. The album at times sounds like demo versions, as if they were an update of the way Pete Townshend used to do solo versions of all his songs for the Who. It's tough not to expect the rest of the band to come in and "complete" a particular song. But once you get used to the fact that this isn't going to happen, the album reveals itself as a delightful, occasionally brave work that's as playful as it is melancholic. --Mike McGonigal

A good solo

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2006

Verified Purchase

As far as solo albums go, this one from Thom Yorke is pretty good. I have to admit that the electronic music is not always my cup of tea, but with his vocals and incredible lyrics, Thom makes it work. My favorite off the album right now is Atoms for Peace. He has some achingly beautiful vocals on that track. What I love about Thom's lyrics is that the metaphors he uses are so simple, but so beautiful, and they make you go, "That's so Yorke!" For example, on Atoms, "Peel off all your layers, I want to eat your artichoke heart." See what I mean? And there's more just like it on Eraser. I could listen to almost the whole album and like it, but there are definitely four tracks that I truly enjoy: The Eraser, Black Swan, Atoms for Peace, and Harrowdown Hill. I remember first hearing Black Swan on the radio while I was driving my car at night, and I was totally hypnotized by Yorke's voice, the guitar work, and the lyrics themselves. I felt like at any moment I was going to start driving in this weird psychedelic world...an acid trip without the acid. So all in all, a good album...though the electronic stuff can get a little tedious if you're not that into it. However, I would still recommend this album to anyone who is a Radiohead fan. (And if you aren't, or have not experienced Radiohead, then don't start with this album...go with either The Bends or OK Computer first, then move on to this one.)

Idioteque

Thom Yorke is not Radiohead....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2006

Verified Purchase

While being an electronic work, "The Eraser" s nothing like Kid A. The cold, expansive, soudscapes of Kid A are completely different from the rather claustrophobic and dark sound of Thom's solo release.

In fact I would probably liken this album's sound to be more akin to the electronic cuts off "Hail to the Theif". Some sounds, and thematic elements are eerily similar to songs like "Sit down, Stand Up", "Backdrifts", and "The Gloaming".

The album, while surprisingly short, is platform on which Thom is able to freely explore sound and rhythm. The result is a lyrically beautiful and sonically fascinating piece of work.

Too many reviewers have blasted Thom for not creating an album that is up to par with past Radiohead releases. While this is true to some extent; "The Eraser" is not a Radiohead album, however focusing on how each track off Eraser stacks up against Kid A, Amnesiac, or Hail to the Thief, is a futile waste of time.

The mere fact that an individual, Thom Yorke, a piece of the wonderfully intricate puzzle that is Radiohead, can put together an album of this dimension...by himself, speaks about how incredible an artist he is. Additionally, it also helps to put the talent of Radiohead, as a band, in perspective; Thom is not Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood is not Radiohead, Ed O'brian is not Radiohead, Colin Greenwood is not Radiohead, Phil Selway is not Radiohead. Together (their powers combined!), they make Radiohead.

Don't think of "The Eraser" as a Radiohead album, becasue it couldn't be farther from. Simply admire it as the collective thoughts and interests of one individual who aspires to explore the universe of music and sound.

The success of one, benefits and shines light onto the rest.

Fantastic album in a cheap sleeve.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

OK, so the only reason I docked a star on this is for the sleeve. It is rough cheap cardboard. Compared to every other LP in my collection this one is noticeably poor quality. That said, the album is fantastic. No noise that I can hear, and the songs are top notch. I've come to expect nothing but perfection from Thom Yorke and Radiohead, and that is exactly what I got. If you like the Kid A and Amnesiac era of Radiohead, that pretty similar to what you get here. I highly recommend this album. It's a shame the packaging isn't up to the same level as the record within.

Great Vinyl Copy, includes full album on CD

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have always enjoyed Thom Yorke’s music, as well as his work with his band Radiohead. I feel this is a good album to become accustomed to his solo work, because it embodies the style(s) of his other releases. I recommend checking out his album titled Anima, as that is a well done piece of work as well. The vinyl copy I received from Amazon includes a copy of the full album, sealed, on CD.

beautifully intimate and haunting all at once

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2006

Verified Purchase

in some ways this record reminds me so much of the way bjork talked about creating vespertine--it was just her and her computer in the kitchen late at night, making these amazingly beautiful songs. the eraser sounds a lot like it was done in much the same way.

i see a lot of people talking about how cold this record is; to me the eraser is deeply personal and vulnerable. some of the lyrics make me blush (atoms for peace) while others make me feel totally disturbed (skip divided) and that's a great thing.

thom's voice is the main instrument here and it's wonderful to hear that great falsetto again. his voice is just stunning. listen to this on headphones and you will be very pleased at the artful way in which it's mixed. my favorites are probably harrowdown hill, skip divided and atoms for peace, but the whole thing is just amazing. honestly, i can't praise it enough.

i think people are getting too caught up in 'what is this'--whether or not it's electronica or ambient or whatever--who cares? listen to it and enjoy it. whatever you want to call it, the eraser is very, very good stuff and the songs stay with you. it will definitely stay in heavy rotation on my winamp.

beautiful stuff, thanks thom.

Thom Yorkes 'solo' delight!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been a massive fan of Radiohead from the beginning. Pablo honey was (is), a sketchy album. However, this album was a clear signpost to greater things. The rest is history as far as the band Radiohead go. Every subsequent album at least 9 out of 10. I knew Thom Yorke had released a 'solo' album. I decided to purchase this album very recently following excellent reviews on here at Amazon. I have listened to the album at least twice a day since the prompt delivery from the excellent music magpie. The eraser is as expected a 'difficult' Yorke/Radiohead album. This 'difficulty' is always a good sign with 'difficult' artists. I'm finally becoming acquainted with the lyrics, craftsmanship etc. The title track is brilliant. Thoms frail falsetto an absolute delight. Black swan is also an excellent track. This album is a (very) slow burner. Anyone reading this review who has interest in Radiohead, I implore you to add this CD to your collection. I'm really looking forward to getting right into this album. You music lovers will know what I mean by that! Thom Yorke you really are a fantastic talent, and so modest as well. Thom Yorke and Damon Alburn are the most talented British musicians of the last 20+ years. Radiohead, Blur, Thom Yorke hit the right spots!

Wow. Go on, take a punt.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

After being intrigued by Thom Yorke's performance on 'Later... with Jules Holland' I took a punt on this album and didn't regret it at all. There are some gems on here. The sound is unique, no-one can replicate Thom Yorke. After drifting away from Radiohead during the KidA/Amnesia period, this brought me back to the band too, although it's a bit different from their output. This album gets a lot of play in the office. Black Swan, in particular, is truly awesome.

Fine Solo Effort

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

Mellow, electronic/synth based fayre from Radiohead's frontman. Fine for those needing a chillout, ambient sound but look elswhere if you want a bit of pace and energy. The vinyl recording is good quality with reasonable packaging. Not quite up to the sort of packaging standards that Radiohead fans might expect so don't expect lots of marketing extras a la King of Limbs, etc.

Robot Music, Thom Yorke style

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

An album that gets you thinking, bemuses you, surprises you and ultimately leaves you appreciating a form of music you probably didn't beforehand. That's all I can truly say about The Eraser because if I start waffling on I'll do the album an injustice.

A must for any Radiohead fan who has really enjoyed their material from 2000 and onwards.
