I finally got back from the Borders with my copy of HTTT and listened to it from start to finish.

Alls I can say is, I very very much recommend reading along as you listen to it. They lyrics really take center stage on this album.

It's more like a very intense, jabbing, profound, book of poetry, with a CD of music to accompany it.

I was scoping the preview of the album on MTV for a couple weeks now, but I never realized what was being said till I had the lyrics in my hand.

This is some intense shit.

Yes, the lyrics are really suttle to the real matter he is talking about.. if one was too not really pay attention, they would never know



I think the title was obvious that he had a message to say, regardless if that hurt the sales or not.. obviously it wont because it doesnt matter, its simply good music.

"Hypicrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison
A bully in a china shop

When I turn round
You stay
Frozen to the spot
The pointless snide remarks
Of hammerheaded sharks
The pot will call the kettle black"

OUCH!

as I was almost done listening to the album on MTV's site last nite, I finally realized that radiohead's website had all of the lyrics on it...d'oh! I had to go back and re listen to a few tracks with the lyrics...

I love this album.
Will buy it this afternoon.

THe Q had a wonderful article, btw.

Darin, you should AB-SO-LUTELY take a subscription (is that the right word?) on the English mag called Q. It is TO-TALLY you.
