--> One can only guess at how this love song of gentleness and intimacy reads two decades later, but the effect is like stumbling upon an old love letter years after a relationship has grown cold. Where there was once a hint of redemption in its devastating refrain, "Just don't leave" now sounds like the longest (and saddest) goodbye.

Disambiguated.


* DaylightHorror: Much like [[Film/TheWickerMan1973 the movie that inspired it]], the music video for "Burn the Witch" runs with this trope. Quoth this wiki's article on that movie, "it lets the audience admire the SceneryPorn and also makes the bizarre behavior of the townspeople even more unsettling."

* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The album packaging revolves around elaborate and abstract patterns created by leaving canvases of paint splatters outside to be weathered by the elements. These were then photographed and edited with Photoshop to produce the final results.



** "Daydreaming" has a reversed and slowed down sample of Thom muttering "half of my life" at the end of the track, to Lynchian effect.

No longer a trope


* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Despite the aforementioned loudness war, the album is mostly a 1. Radiohead's softest album to date.

* IndecipherableLyrics: The [[LastNoteNightmare ending]] of "Daydreaming", which has distorted, backmasked voices chanting something unintelligible. [[SubvertedTrope Fans have reportedly confirmed that Thom is sing-muttering "half of my life."]]

Following the mixed response to their previous effort, the experimental, groove-based NewSoundAlbum ''The King of Limbs'', the slightly more conventional style of ''A Moon Shaped Pool'' was greeted with open arms upon its release and dubbed a return to form by fans and critics, with some even considering it to be the [[SpiritualSuccessor true follow-up]] to ''Music/InRainbows'' (which also boasted similarly lush production and reliant heavily on strings).

* BurnTheWitch: Take a wild guess. That said, the song "Burn the Witch" examines this trope in a metaphorical light, subtly criticizing the state of constant paranoia and distrust that encapsulates 21st-century society (the song had been in the works for well over a decade, but remained very much relevant by the time of its eventual release).
