Anybody? It's actually pretty good... sounds a lot like the Kid A/Amnesiac era (which is fine by me).

Thanks for the info

Radiohead are one of the best groups ever!

Got it and love it, its a bit more electronic then Kid A era but i can see why its constantly used in reviews. Id get it!

Had a listen to it (cheers eike) and I think the same. Very Amnesiac. Really liking it.

I'm rather ho-hum. I usually revel in recycled sound, but I haven't longed to hear this one again after two good sit down listens.

Maybe it'll grow on me, but if it doesn't I have next year to look forward to.

yea - I kinda dug this stuff...

I'd definitely wager that if your favorite parts of "Meeting People is Easy" (radiohead's documentary) were the bits with like, Thom sitting outdoors twiddling dials, or alone in the studio - then you'd really like the album

I will say, however - is that all the tracks kinda meld together. Like, every time I listen to just individual tracks, I'm very ho-hum about it, but like - putting it on in the background while doing work = great album

the only individual tracks that I really like are the two that 'bookend' the album

Def an "album" album then a singles album.

i like it a lot. it's not re-inventing the wheel, but it creates a certain mood that only yorke seems to be capable of.

I'm not a huge Radiohead fan...but i REALLY like what I've heard so far...
'And it rained all night', 'atoms for peace', and 'black swan' are very emotion-evoking songs.

in case you havent seen the video for harrowdown hill yet, you can watch it on ut00b:

pretty amazing, works very well with the song (and the context of the song) IMO
