An amazing work of art!
I don't understand how ppl said it wasd closer 2 Kid A and Amnesiac when it's CHOCK-FULL of guitars, and it's all song-based. It reminds me most of the Bends, but it's really a move forward not back.
Actually, a lot of the tracks r more like poems put to music, particularly since many lack definable choruses. At the same time, tho, Thom developed this skill over the last 2 albums, of using his voice as another instrument in an organic whole, rather than having the vocals as an overlayt on an instrumental backing. So, on the one hand he twists and stretches the words for their sonal value so that u can't understand what he's saying, while on the other hand the lyrics r astounding poetry.
The depth, the multiple layers of lyrics and music, the power. My God, I could go on, but I think I'll just press play coz the wolf has just left the door and it's time to get lukewarm again!

I'm happy you are enjoying it!

it's all I've listened to for the past week!

I came out against the album pretty harshly, after my first listen.

I changed my mind on the second. It's not a masterpiece, but it is enjoyable.

When did Clay Aiken become the new lead singer

I've listened to it twice now, and so far I like about half of it.

yeah, i finally scrounged up the cash to buy it. it was on sale for 9.99, so i needed to take advantage of that!

f'n great cd. i always know that radiohead will be the best album of the year when they release something

This cd is amazing to me.

2+2=5 kicks ass!! One of the best rockin numbers they've ever done.

sail to the moon is BEAUTY in music

other favs:

we suck young blood
go to sleep
punchup
wolf at the door
the gloaming

I love this band!!!

"Scatterbrain" has been getting some heavy airplay in my car LOL

OK, so I finally got to listen to the new album, so here's my judgement: I like it more for its production values than the actual songs. I like the last 4 tracks on the album, but the rest are just the usual dullness they're known for.

Ok - I've had it 2 days, and listened 2 it 6 times.

Verdict - it's like sex w/ some1 u love. Each time is a brand new mindblowing xperience. U learn and notice new things which deepen ur appreciation and leave u wanting more...

You know, I don't find anything on the alubm dull, but I do agree that the last four songs are especially good. If I were to burn this CD for someone uninitiated to Radiohead's sound, I'd rearrange the song order and do some flip-flopping to bring those tunes to the foreground.

Oh no, I just said FLIP-FLOPping...heeere we go...
