I'm not blaming Radiohead for it. Their albums have had ups and downs with me, and it's to be expected. But I do have to remark that this is the first time I've only cared about 1 song on one of their albums. After (comparatively) "enough" listens, it's the only one I remember and actually want to hear more.
I'm ok with that.

So far I'm kind of with you on this, except I also like Lotus Flower. I'm only on my 4th listen right now though. And actually I'm really enjoying the beginning of "Little by Little" as I type, so more songs may start to stand out in time.
But yeah overall it's a pleasant album with nothing that's blowing me away or turning me off. Still better than HTTT which I never got into. I should try
again one of these days.
Anyway, I hate to really judge albums so soon. Even if I'd played it 10 times already. It takes
time, not just listens, for an album to sink in.
