While “Eraser” lacks the manic fluctuations of favorite Radiohead tracks, and while Yorke’s voice slips rarely into his characteristic Brit-sneer, its expression of its creator’s singular vision—lyrical, musical, and otherwise—makes it one of the most intriguing albums of the past summer.TV on the Radio: “Return to Cookie Mountain”In which yesterday’s next...
