Just got around to reading this and i thought it would be worth noting that the hat Thom Yorke is wearing in the Lotus Flower video is not a fedora as the review mentions.

Fuck, so I've just not been listening hard enough?
It sounds smart the way you put it though. Just a shame it isn't.

Honestly I think there's at least some validity to that statement. It probably doesn't apply to everyone (does anything ever?) but my main point was that a lot of people went into this record expecting to be absolutely blown away. But, the record itself is extremely subdued and the true strength of it lies in its subtleties: album cohesiveness, song arrangement/album progression, and continuity of atmosphere (all of which are complemented by its brevity). The nature of the album doesn't lend itself to the instant gratification that many people were searching for. So, those people that expected such instant gratification and to hear singularly stunning songs such as those that were found on In Rainbows likely overlooked what the album really has to offer in their disappointment of not hearing what they expected.
I'm not saying you're one of those people, and that everyone who doesn't enjoy this album doesn't get it or isn't "listening hard enough" as you put it (why is it that everyone seems to jump to that?). I'm simply saying the album is one that thrives on subtlety as opposed to theatrics, and it's hard to really appreciate the subtlety when all you're doing is searching for the theatrics. It just seems like a lot of people are listening to this album within the context of what they wanted it to be instead of what they actually got, and that context makes it much harder to appreciate the album for what it is.
EDIT: I realized this probably needs clarifcation.. The statement I was referring to as having some validity was the one I previously made that you were responding to, not your statement that you aren't listening to this hard enough. Just trying to avoid any uncessary confrontation haha.

Haha thanks man. Concision clearly isn't my strong suit though haha. I think I might have the longest average comment on this site (which probably also means least read I would imagine). Appreciate the vote of confidence though!

What about those who didn't think In Rainbows had 'singularly stunning songs'?
