As much as it pains me to rate a Radiohead album as a 3, after 4 years of determined grit to enjoy the album I am finally at peace with my rating and the conclusion that, aside from Pablo Honey, this is their weakest album.

Burn the Witch (even though I agree with others here that it is out of place here), Decks Dark and Ful Stop are my standout tracks from the album and can stand up there with some of their best. I also love Present Tense too but feel that it is smothered by landing in between The Numbers and Tinker Tailor which has the effect f all three tracks just merging into one another (and not in a good way).

The album just fails to grip me and especially after Ful Stop - the album slowly goes out with a whimper. Just too many tracks lack any real structure with a reliance on piano and orchestra as the main body of the song leaving the album lacking in substance. It’s certainly atmospheric but possibly went too far leaving the album just too intangible for its own good.

Burn the Witch is lolbad and most of this is forgettable aside from the great True Love Waits

i'm actually not huge on the version of True Love Waits here

like yeah it's technically beautiful but there was an element of levity to the earlier, IMBW version that just made it more pleasing & effective 2 me

mix on here is indeed pristine which is exactly why it's such shit. whats that saying about polishing a turd? aside from this the last two decades of radiohead has been marked by a certain glitchy, janky, surreal edge.
it was very prevalent on amnesiac and kid a, a bit more balanced on httt, and was much more subdued on in rainbows but still floating in the undercurrent (see 15 step, all i need, videotape etc). those elements were the entire reason radiohead became an exciting band. those sounds were surmounted by tkol, an album that split the fanbase in half, alienating the pumpkin spice baking powder basic bitches who want their radiohead to sound as much like U2 as possible from the ones who actually like the idea of innovation and creativity. so radiohead released this as a pacifier for those who were too disturbed by the eclectic percussive shuffle and feverish electronics of tkol, a neutral teat smoothed of all edges and primed for digestion, basically a lubed up commercial suppository to be so gently eased into the supple assholes of the fragile minded masses. the "finding dory" of radiohead releases, a polished turd with a flashy ribbon, dangling from a child mobile over the crib of your fetal brains.

Hahaha Pots, I'll bookmark page 351 so when AMSP comes up again I can just quote that and get it over with.

This ended to being their second worst to me.

If this was a cacophonous mash of parping trumpets, non-sensical lyrics, bullshit bloops and bleeps, esoteric minimilist IDM bilge and directionless melody you saps would 4 it.

A lot of this album just bores me. Need to give it another shot sometime. I’ve already tried with King of Limbs but just don’t get it (Codex is awesome though).
