The Smile - Wall Of Eyes | Critical Consensus

The Smile, a project that brings together Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood with drummer Tom Skinner, has distinguished itself from other Radiohead side projects, particularly with the release of 'Wall Of Eyes'. This album follows their debut 'A Light for Attracting Attention' and captures the essence of Radiohead while forging a unique identity. The album, evolving from their extensive 2023 world tour, showcases a blend of intricate guitar work, Yorke’s distinctive vocals, and Skinner's experimental jazz influence. It marks a continuation of the group's exploration into new musical territories, with a sound that feels both familiar to Radiohead fans and distinctly its own​​. But is it a worthy album? Let’s dig into what the critics have to say.
