Just listened to it with a whiskey double in my hand. I loved it, but....like all Radiohead albums thus far, it failed to touch me deep down in my I-get-chills-and-cry-at-music spot. That being said, I think it's brilliant.
One thing struck me, though, and I could be totally wrong about this because I just listen to music casually. I'm not a critic...unlike their earlier works, this album doesn't have a cohesive musical voice. This isn't a criticism, just noting the contrast. Having said that, there is a sublime moment of cohesion between "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief" and "True Love Waits". |

Oh yes, I like this very much, the first few and last few tracks especially. As it stands now this is definitely a 4.5 star album for me, might possibly rise close to a clear 5 if the middle of the album grows on me even more. Gonna round it up to a 5 for the purposes of the poll. Favorite track currently is probably Daydreaming.

Every great band has a golden age before their albums get worse. Zeppelin's golden age ended with Physical Graffiti, Sabbath's ended in the early 80's... Radiohead is still popping out great albums 20 years after their first grand hit, The Bends.

I would say that I sort of agree with this but maybe not as harshly. It certainly has its moments of impressive instrumentation and subtle excitement but overall I just get sleepy toward the last couple tracks. Not that that's a bad, I ended up rating it a four because it's still a solid Radiohead album, but it just didn't really smash the sh*t out of me like In Rainbows did. I'd rate this with their last effort and that's definitely lower than Kid A, In Rainbows, Amnesiac, and OK Computer.
