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.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
