Just a personal opinion.
Judging by your choosing of The Bends you like Radiohead as some what of a user friendly rock band. These Are My Twisted Words is far from anything like that. It's not catchy, there is no awesome Greenwood riff. It's drawn out and arty like a jam session the band recorded. The arpeggio guitar works sounds like a relative of Weird Fishes off In Rainbows, an album which had a more natural less energetic sound than any of their other albums. Excluding 15 Step and Bodysnatchers the album is somewhat calm and there aren't a lot of electronics at work, which is similar to what is going on in These Are My Twisted.
