Amen. IR was a decent album, but not up to Radiohead's par. It was very pretty, but, not a whole lot else. TKOL is chilling in a very neutral, detached way, which is terrifying when you think about it and just lovely if you don't. The only thing people knock it for (if you ask me) is the lack of closure it gives. I understand being frustrated with waiting five years for a half an hour of music, but that music was excellent.
I never got the claim that it didn't change it up enough either. IR was basically a slightly more upbeat re-up of music on HTTT. There are only a couple of traces of past material on stuff like "Codex" or "Separator" or
maybe "Give Up the Ghost," which is acoustic like that one other song they did on HTTT.
