Yorke's band
Radiohead performed an early version of "FeelingPulledApartByHorses", then titled "Reckoner", in 2001. Yorke likened it to
heavy metal.
Pitchfork described it as a "droning rocker", and
Rolling Stone said it featured "one of the loudest and most sinister riffs in Radiohead's catalog". In 2005, Yorke performed the song on acoustic guitar at a
Trade Justice Movement show. Working on the song for their 2007 album
In Rainbows, Radiohead added a
coda that developed into a different song with the original title, "
Reckoner". Afterwards, Yorke and the Radiohead guitarist
Jonny Greenwood reworked the original song. They omitted the chorus and added bass guitar, "glitchy" drums, "disembodied" vocals, and an extended synthesiser coda.
Rolling Stone described it as "more subdued and textural", in the style of Yorke's 2006 album
The Eraser. Yorke described "TheHollowEarth" as a "bass menace" that began during the recording sessions for
The Eraser. == Release ==
