Wow, your rating is nearly right, and I was expecting a 4 lol. Album needs to leak now so mutatedfreek can hype the shit out of this.



Edit: Stupid Ross didn't read Observers comment.

Also O.K. Computer is a perfectly valid recommended album.

Also I'd just like to point out that the official first single is, I believe, This Orient. I almost made that mistake too.

i love links to streams

Radiohead is alright. They really aren't all that great.

"Yeah, honestly I think you hold yourself back sometimes by your matter-of-fact tone" Yeah, I'd agree with that. My reasoning is that I like my reviews to be informative to as many people as possible. It sort of annoys me when I read a review and I have no idea what's going on, predominantly because of the reviewer trying to appeal to only fans of that genre. If I want to read a metal review, I should be able to follow it, even if I am not a huge fan of metal.



"Also, I'm completely in agreement with Adam, it's so nice to see you write as boldly as you did in your intro there." Thanks Alex. I guess, I thought it was worth the risk on an album that I have rated so highly and could turn out to be my AOTY. (Sort of like my Emery review last year... LOL).



"concurring with adam and alex, this is some of your strongest writing yet" Thanks Caleb. It did take me over a week to write this review btw, so maybe that also came into play.



Thanks Jared & Gary.



Give it a go Yeti. And give it more chances DoubtGin. It does grow on you.



Ali, I really really really think you will like this.

Anything else to say Triple Post Rosco. LOL. Yeah, this album was a solid 4 for a week & snuck up to a 4.3 over the past 2-3 days. Like I said in my very 1st comment, when I tried to narrow down my reco tracks, i realised the rating had to go up.



As for the lead single nonsense, I should stop quoting that since it's just too hard to tell nowadays. I was more going on the fact that there was a music video for 'SS'. To me, if there's a video, it's a single... Although that is not the technical definition.



LG begins the Radiohead talk. Loverleeee.



Oooh, Atavan has already raised his rating from 3.5 to 4. Good Shit indeed!

Hmmm, I like how you always try to reply to all of us. I'm sure it takes up a lot of time, but I'm sure it helps keep discussion flowing.

This is growing more on me. Great surprise of an album.

"Hmmm, I like how you always try to reply to all of us. I'm sure it takes up a lot of time, but I'm sure it helps keep discussion flowing." Yeah, that... But also because most people take the time to write about the review and/or music, so I figure I should take the time to reply. I know not every reviewer feels that way, and so be it. To each their own.



"This is growing more on me. Great surprise of an album" Let it grow, let it grow. Just to give an example, I initially thought 'Black Gold' was only ok. But that was because it was dwarfed by 'Spanish Sahara'. That's when I use my little trick of listening to the album in a different order. Try it. It also helped me with the closer.



"this is a 5." Why are you always wrong Rosco? LOL. Oooh, your review is up... You should write for NME.

"Dude if anyone knows about giving out wrong 5s it's you CK". Hmmm, a case can be made for you to fall under this classification also.



"I wish, it would pay more than this shitty gig." Become staff & then you'll be rolling on the moolah.



"listened to spanish sahara, loved it." That's all anyone has to do. Listen & you will love.

"That's all anyone has to do. Listen & you will love."

I disagree. Good review Davey, and I had to throw that little bit in about Radiohead, most overrated band ever.

I gotta agree with Atavan bout that PapaDave, perfect example...coughdefleppardcough.
