Make this playlist exactly and set a 10 second crossfade on your media player. (10 letters in each album, 10 years apart, 10 second crossfade, so on)
It's a completely hidden album recorded 10 years apart and Thom Yorke confirmed this. Everything flows together, it's really nice to listen to. Lyrics and chords will go together and everything, give it a try.
15 step into Paranoid Android and Electioneering into Reckoner are particularly impressive.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you meant to stop after Karma Police?
It's not exactly a hidden album is it? The songs just transition between each other.

supposedly, lyrical themes from the songs carry into the next as well

To be fair, the songs were written 10 years apart and flow into the other songs on the respective albums AS WELL AS flowing into the songs from the album from 10 years before/after. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me
I've known about this for a few weeks now and am still impressed when I listen to the whole thing. I haven't really read into the albums too much or quite understand what they're about so I know I'll probably get some flak from hardcore Radiohead fans for this, but here we go:
I always thought of OK Computer as an album that painted a bleak picture of the future, capitalism, anxiety, and fear. All of this done in a very sci-fi style. In Rainbows, I always got the impression that it shared the common theme of anxiety with OK Computer. However, In Rainbows had a clear theme that was different than OK Computer's (for me at least, I could be super wrong), mortality. This is really evident in Reckoner and All I Need.
Now, when you mix the albums together you get a great contrast between technological and natural sounds while still sharing a common theme of anxiety and fear. It makes sense that these albums are together, however, the albums stand on their own very well (obviously).

It's a cool easteregg sort of thing, but it doesn't seem that mind-blowing to me. It wasn't premeditated was it? They just decided to make the songs on their new album transition with the songs from one of their older ones? Maybe I'm missing something.

It's basically that but it's just impressive to see how 10 years apart they still match up chords perfectly and have everything transition like that.
