Album Rating: 5.0
It's been my strongest 4.5 for quite some time, but then autumn hit and sombre walks through sunlit woods and there was no denying anymore. That album is a way of life.
@Keynote: Agreed, the diversity between utter depression and trascendent hope spots is definitely one of this album's best features, and one of the things that set it apart from Amnesiac (and above it).

Life in a Glasshouse is easily one of my favourite Radiohead tracks. Love the jazzy influence and the raw force of the final chorus.

But Kid A obviously tops that album. Reminds me of Unknown Pleasures - a start to finish transcendental experience.

How to Disappear Completely is one of my favorite songs ever. But I can't listen to it often because of how crushing it is.

One of their best songs.

Agreed. Life in a Glasshouse is their best closer and my #3 radiohead track of all time

It's a beaut agreed. I'm a huge fan of Separator though, that track is so beautifully produced, nicely floaty and sunny and relaxed.
God they've made many classic closers. Blow Out (< 3), Street Spirit, The Tourist, Videotape, A Wolf At The Door, True Love Waits. Quite the competition.

bro you forgot Motion Picture Soundtrack which is one of the best

Omg yes how could I! Haha, those are all of their closers aren't they? Oops.
Well I guess all of them rule. Even the Pablo one, that's the best track there and it's amazing! Love the guitar freakout.

I had you tagged as a Radiohead fanboy Trifo, but then I see your 4.0 for this masterpiece and think otherwise.

I am, but this never clicked as much for me as it does for others. Am a bigger fan of the post Kid A output. Although this is still stunning, I almost never come back to it anymore.

I don't either, but then you have to preserve greatness. An album like 'In Rainbows' (or even TKOL) is so much easier to throw on whenever. The impact this (and OKC) had on my musical journey is essentially incomparable and when I revisit, this seems the more interesting of the two these days.

Yeah I've only hopped on board the RH train shortly before TKOL was released so I didn't experience any of the excitement etc. this caused back in the day. It's more like the older classics in that regard, which you know are universally loved and admired, but which need to personally connect too. And that didn't really happen yet.
I know people feel this flows very well as an album, but for me there are a few hiccups and a few tracks I don't really enjoy, hence the 4.0. There also are some of their absolute best moments (Everything In Its Right Place, Idioteque, Optimistic, Motion Picture Soundtrack).

Idioteque is top-tier RH, some days I might even give it the cake.
And yeah, it's been a good 15+ years since I got into these guys, so that definitely has an impact on your perception of them. The first release I actually remember coming out was HTTF. That might be why I don't get on with that one thinking about it, expectation can be a bitch.

I appreciate this album much more now than when it came out. It has some of the best songs of the band but when it came out I hated the sound of the album. Youth...

I don't listen to 'Kid A' all the time, but looking over my highest rated albums, that's true for *a lot* of them. Demon makes a good point about preserving the greatness, but albums like 'Kid A' also take a lot out of me. It's not an album I just fire up when I simply want something to listen to. Whenever I start 'Kid A', I'm fully prepared to listen to it in its entirety and give it (nearly) full attention.
And finding ~45 minutes of free time is getting harder & harder these days.

''Idioteque is top-tier RH, some days I might even give it the cake.''
Wouldn't disagree with that. If one track has to win it might as well be that one.

Album Rating: 4.5
this is my 1000th rating, not that that means anything, but a cool album to land in that spot. I only rank albums that I feel deserve it or I run across here
this jams but not In Rainbows, which will forever be their best

I like ok computer, how can you not, but they kept getting better, when they let themselves play their groove mixes so fantastically with their tech stuff
