When A Moon Shaped Pool entered the world in May 2016, many of the horrors Radiohead had spent more than two decades warning us about were coming to fruition. Campaigns for Brexit and Trump were spreading odious strains of nationalism. The Earth’s temperature was reaching precipitous new highs. Nefarious companies were harvesting data from tens of millions of Facebook users in order to undermine American democracy. The record also arrived amid acute personal tragedy for Thom Yorke, who had announced a separation from his partner, Rachel Owen, the year prior. (Seven months after its release, Owen died following a long battle with cancer.) It’s no wonder that, according to one scientific analysis, A Moon Shaped Pool was found to be the infamously bleak band’s most depressing album.

2016年5月,《A Moon Shaped Pool》问世,电台司令在20多年间一直警告我们可能出现的恐怖事件正在成为现实。英国脱欧和特朗普的竞选活动正传播着令人厌恶的民族主义信息。地球的温度也在急剧攀升,突破新高。为了破坏美国的民主氛围,一些心怀不轨的公司盗取了千万Facebook用户的信息。在主唱Thom Yorke个人遭遇了严重悲剧之际,这张唱片还是如期到来,而在去年,他已宣布与乐队成员Rachel Owen分道扬镳。(该唱片发行7个月后,Owen在与癌症长期斗争过后离开了人世)这也难怪,一项科学分析说《A Moon Shaped Pool》被认为是这支已声名狼藉的过气乐队最抑郁而沉闷的专辑。

And yet the record does not wallow. The stubbornly forward-facing quintet allows itself to look back—most notably with “True Love Waits,” a live fan favorite since the mid ’90s, finally put to tape in the studio—while avoiding self-parody or indulgence. On the luminous ballad “Daydreaming,” Yorke sounds like he’s levitating when he sings, “We are just happy to serve... you.” It’s a nod to the symbiotic bond Radiohead keeps with their listeners through the worst of times, a bond that this album elegantly upholds. –Ryan Dombal

然而,这张唱片并未就此衰败。专辑中,依旧坚定向前看的五人组也容许了自己将过去回顾,这一点在歌曲“True Love Waits”中便明显地体现了出来,对于自90年代中期以来便忠于现场演绎的粉丝们,这首歌一定是他们的最爱,而在现场演绎后再将其在录音棚里录制——这样也同时避免了自嘲或放纵行为的发生。在“Daydreaming”这首暖暖的抒情曲中,Yorke整个人都飘了,他唱道:“我们很乐意为你……效劳。”这也是对电台司令与他们的粉丝在时局最艰难之际保持共生关系的一种肯定,且这张专辑也优雅地维持好了这种关系。
