When did Futures start writing, ahem, critiquing for Rolling Stone (but on Sputnik!)? Who promoted this man to the ultimate source on what is funny and what makes the milk curdle? Was it Old Mother Hubbard? Was it Jom? (Yes, I understand the meaning of redundancy). I bet it was Sowing. He's making Sputnik Girly Again. Not the good girly either. Not the half my tits showing, ass hanging out of my shorts girly. The respect me because I'm a woman girly.
Futures, you haven't bled nearly enough for anyone's respect. Now go put a pad underneath your butthole and go post where you really belong: the IGN boards.

@LordePots
"that doesn't characterize the band at all. it characterizes a couple of their albums."
The Bends has sinister undercurrents on several tracks. OKC has heaps. Kid A, virtually every song. Amnesiac, virtually every song. HttT, virtually every song. TKOL has some. AMSP has some. These Are My Twisted Words. The Daily Mail... yeah, I really think pretty alt rock with a sense of impending doom is their stock in trade tbh. Their whole shtick is millennial paranoia, human emotion lost in a sea of advertising and ones and zeroes. They are a band of paranoid androids for god sake. On this album that whole massive part of their sound is just... kinda... absent.
"15 step, all i need, videotape = tense"
15 Step agreed, even if it is very pretty. All I Need is not tense at all. It is a mid tempo song with piano and glockenspiel. Self-deprecating lyrics does not a tense song make. Videotape has an air of resignation to it, not of tension. The percussion in the second half is amazing, but it is hardly The National Anthem.
"15 step, all i need, videotape = experimental"
Again, three lovely songs, with some interesting rhythmic ideas. But if that qualifies as experimental music, then that is easily the most listenable experimental music I have EVER heard.
"never found radiohead to be very unpredictable with how their music flows"
I'm talking the stark contrasts between one track and the next, like the stunning and effective contrasts you get through Amnesiac, Kid A and AMSP. As I said before, other than Bodysnatchers, this is all smooth sailing.
"After the seventeenth falsetto over twinkly guitars, don't you just crave something out of left field? Nothing too schizo, or that would probably burst this album's serene little bubble... but just like a Ful Stop or even a Daydreaming type track"
Literally both mid tempo piano ballads. They don't stimulate so much as soothe. They don't shock feeling back into your system. I'd take an album with inferior flow but sharp, exciting contrasts (AMSP) over an album that flows perfectly but sustains a similar vibe throughout (this).
