I second that. There's not an ounce of rock here. In Rainbows and HttT, on the other hand, had some rock to speak of.

Imo, Pablo Honey is very underrated. Maybe the hype over Creep made people tired of it, although the other tracks are quite interesting. It should be checked out anyway.

Yes! I always thought Pablo Honey was way underrated, especially on these boards.

It's OK, there's not much to really differentiate it from a lot of other bands of the time though.

Agree, some songs like Blow Out, You or Thinking about you are pretty good.

You and Blowout are pretty good, and the rest are average. It's a decent album however, and the only reason it gets so much hate is because the rest of the bands work is so much better.

I voted 'poor' and I love Radiohead. I just don't enjoy this album. I love Lotus Flower but everything else is just... boring. Personal opinion. I don't know, maybe it will grow on me. I feel as though this album is less Radiohead and more Thom Yorke.

You don't even like Codex? That's one of my favourite Radiohead songs!

^ Actually yes, when I first listened Codex did somewhat move me and I do like the song. But I don't want to undermine Radiohead's earlier stuff which I just absolutely love to bits... in comparison this album was a disappointment for me.
