"Looks like you have trouble spotting excellence in general."



I dont think so when youre the one who 4.5s some of the most watered down bland drivel thats ever come out of Radiohead. Album is so underwhelming.

Radiohead haven't released something underwhelming since OKC. And yes, i'm excluding The Bends (which is just so so imo) and including TKOL, which is beginning to grow on people

TKOL I needa revisit. I remember liking it when it first came out and then getting bored of it.

''I really love the second half especially'' [2], and Bloom.

But the whole thing rules.

Thom's Electric Lady Studios performance of "Bloom" is one of the best things I've ever heard. The album version, not so much.

if by that you mean on a track-by-track basis then sure, like 80% of the material on here is very subdued and melancholy. which also means its vastly less interesting, especially in the instances where those limper songs are clumped together. but the highlights aren't those songs anyway.

if you mean as a whole, then no, because the track-listing here is absolutely fucking jarring right up until the coma inducing lull of the last four songs, at which point i guess you could consider it 'smooth'. if you're still conscious enough to call it anything.

On team TKOL too, much better, flows like a dream, one of their tightest albums.

Not even close, the first half of TKOL is kinda useless honestly aside from Little By Little. They also have some amazing b-sides from those sessions that should've been on the main album, like Staircase, Supercollider, and The Butcher.

The live from the basement version of TKOL I can get behind, that gives this a run for its money. The version of Bloom on there is one of their best songs. This album is perfect aside from the not very good sequencing, every song except Burn the Witch is really great. Ill Wind also maybe should've been added to it too, love that one.
