I dont really give a **** if Radiohead supports it or not, I'm still going to get it. But its certainly not to early for a extended edition on 2 classics.

My thoughts on HTTT are the Gloaming and There There, are the best tracks on it. 2+2=5 always sounded like a 3rd rate Paranoid Andriod to me, its just boring and well average as is most of the album.

2+2=5 works really well live, lots of energy.

I agree with that 2 + 2 = 5 kicked tail live and absolutely blew the Sydney Entertainment centre (and my mind) apart...

It's a good opener IMO. There There works better live as well.

Could easily have been avoided if they had produced it differently

I love 2+2=5, Scatterbrain, Sit Down, Stand Up and Backdrifts. I really like the album for what it is.

Are you ill? Go To Sleep would be a standout track solely on the merits of it's solo, not to mention the video.

I love all those songs. If i had to take out anything it would be I Will and that's pleasant enough to be fair. Maybe The Gloaming, more of a live song that.

And 2+2=5 is one of my favourite openers ever.

I have to give it to Radiohead fans, they're never angry in private, they can spout as much abuse to a person in thread for not liking Radiohead. But I've never gotten a single PM complaining about my avatar, seriously. I even talk to some radiohead fans here despite the fact that I explicitly bash their favourite band in every post. Kudos.
