I totally agree with the review. Radiohead began with alternative rock sad songs for teenagers and ended up being the most famous pseudo-artistic band of all time. With OK Computer and similar albums, you can clearly see what they wanted to do: they still make sad songs for teenager, but this time they throw in a bit of Electronica and strange noises to make the sad teenagers think "wow, this is sooo futuristic and depressive! It really describes my generation and the issues of the computer era". Most of those teenagers have never heard anything aside Rock, Punk or Metal, so they are fascinated with "such a futuristic and artistic band". But, the moment they discover that Rock isn't the only music in the world, they'll soon realize that Radiohead didn't create anything new. I mean, an infinite number of artists, even among Rock musicians, have employed strange noises and Electronica before 1996, and in a better and more noticeable way. Even the concept of "modern depression" had already been explored by a huge amount of artists. In my opinion, people who are used to real Electronica, Noise and depressive music, can't even tell the difference between the Radiohead of "Creep" and the Radiohead of Kid A.
So, I wrote all this thing just to say that, in my opinion, Radiohead never made a real change in the first place. They still make simple sad songs for teenagers. They're still Alternative Rock. The fact that they are so famous and loved by everyone proves that they aren't so artistic and unintelligible as teenagers think they are.
They actually made a little change, yet unnoticeable, only with King Of Limbs, which employs enough Electronica to cast doubt on whether the album is really Alternative Rock or something else.
The only one who really changed, and in my opinion in a very positive way, is lead singer Thom Yorke. He's been experimenting even Future Garage and working with artists such as Modeselektor and Four Tet. Too bad he developed this way only in his solo projects.
