Dog’s reconstruction of their premiere 2001 record of the same name, with new recordings and re-recordings, 15 years later. 1.With 2015 leaving listeners with impressive stacks of albums, the bar is set high for album releases in 2016. Fans of all genres are expected to be pleased subsequent to announcements from artists ranging from Kanye West to Bon Jovi to Explosions in the Sky. Records of note that have already been released this year are the late, great David Bowie’s ★ (Blackstar), “Jesu/Sun Kill Moon’s” eponymous collaboration, and Dream Theater’s “The Astonishing.” Even then, it’s a stretch to pick anything remotely decent about this track. Harrison: It is not the worst synth-pop, but it is not the greatest.

This is annoying enough to satisfy PC Music devotees and melodic enough to capture the attention of pop purists so in that way it’s very clever but best of all it’s just a glossy, glitterbomb of a tune. Caroline Polacheck is such a choice move as a vocalist for this song because there’s a certain texture to her voice that sounds like it’s been pitched-up even when it hasn’t. He’s bridging his PC Music stylings with the mainstream pop and pop world domination is edging closer for him. Standard, right? Seriously, though, this is a pretty groovy track.

James: This wouldn’t sound out of place on the soundtrack of a vaguely erotic (why, Japan?) anime TV series about a group of schoolgirls striving together to save the world from a mutant octopus, or something like that. A great muso just appreciates why they are so respected. An inspiration for so many artists out there, and this is coming from someone who isn’t a massive Radiohead fan. Harrison: One should appreciate an artist, group or band that has done this much for music as Radiohead has. I am fully aware that it’s a federal crime in many countries to express this opinion. As a film score it’s beautiful but as a standalone song without the video it just doesn’t capture my attention. It makes me feel anxious and a little bit concerned about how weathered Thom Yorke looks in the video. It’s sparse, haunting and expertly demure but personally it just does nothing for me. Sam: I know it’s good and that’s not just because people are telling me it’s good. Thom, you’re not young anymore and beige is not your colour. But, honestly, I feel as though the real talking point here should be Thom Yorke’s appearance in this video – basically, if Kanye West were to become Gollum’s stylist. The video is so intriguing as well, vintage Paul Thomas Anderson. James: In case you were/are wondering, this is definitely the best song from Radiohead’s new album – it conjures profound imagery, and painfully familiar emotions, recalling loneliness particularly, for me. It’s hard to knock or bad mouth this record, with Radio Silence shining as one of the records best. Harrison: Can we just acknowledge how crazy this weekend was, even before knowing the release of ‘The Colour In Anything’ was coming. It’s so finely and beautifully textured that it’s hard not to constantly marvel at its soundscape. While the whole album is excellent, it doesn’t get much better than this expanding, swelling opus. This is Blake embracing his role as a songwriter and singer rather than a producer and it’s paid off in a huge way. Sam: I found the first two songs we heard off The Colour In Anything quite difficult to latch onto to be honest but now in the context of the album they make sense. I gave the album a 10, breaking my golden rule, so I’d be a hypocrite not to break another now and give this diamond of a track the perfect five.
James: I think I said, quite comprehensively, all that I could possibly say about this track (and the album from which it has been taken) in my extensive review.
