To me this is their masterpiece, its one of the few albums that you want to listen to from start to finish that takes you on a journey,

on its own Tree fingers may not seem much but unlike say Fitter Happier on OK. that disrupts the flow, Tree Fingers acts as a bridge between Disappear and Optimistic.



Good review, agree with most of what you said...

I love The National Anthem.

Fitter Happier is pretty great I think, whereas Treefingers, while great for what it is, is less great.

Album Rating: 3.5

Treefingers is one of my favorite songs on the album. It would just sound really awkward listening to "How to Disappear Completely" and then hearing "Optimistic" right after it.

Treefingers is also one of my fave radiohead songs, and it does segue into optimistic perfectly (another favorite radiohead track)

Just got this along with OK and it's incredible.

Album Rating: 5.0

This is nearing a classic status but I think a 4.5 is best for now.



Incredibly dense and emotional album. Some of the songs on here are the most emotional I've ever heard.

This album was 4.5, pushing a 5 for awhile, and now the magic has died off a little. Still a great record, but i guess i've just listened to it too much :P

Album Rating: 4.5

How to Disappear Completely and Motion Picture Soundtrack are incredibly gorgeous songs.

The National Anthem is so good.

Album Rating: 2.5

Honestly, this is the least impressive Radiohead album to me,

the first 4 tracks are very good and interesting, the rest is just a failed experiment.

Radiohead is one of the best bands out there and

I respect them a lot for trying out new directions, which they were obviously trying with Kid A, on this album however the misses are more frequent than the "hits".

At first 2 listens I heard promising things on songs like "Limbo" and "idiotheque", but later on I had to conclude that these songs do not have a lasting impact; the songwriting is sub-par, and the experiment is - let's be honest - not really ground-breaking; the songs are not even very complex or difficult.

I'm still a bit amazed by the hype this album has created in the USA, in mainland-Europe (= -UK) there has not been this hype.

But the songs arn't meant to be complex and difficult. The whole point of the album - what makes it adored - is it's atmosphere, this whole dripping sense of paranoid crazy thing thats going on. I'm not a big fan of though, so I still get where you're coming from.

WAHTEV SHUTUP YOU ALL. Nah I kid. I rate albums based on how well they execute what they're trying to do. Kid A hits the bullseye with that, an atmospheric mind warp.

Album Rating: 5.0

The ending in National Anthem is pretty much Radiohead's shot at that day in the life ending in my opinion, oh so similar.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

I highly doubt they had "LETS RIP THE BEATLES" in mind while writing The National Anthem.



Silly Atheist, not believing in the almighty God, Radiohead.

Duh Paul McCartney wrote The National Anthem for them.

Album Rating: 4.0

the only song i don't like off of this is "the national anthem." Other than that, really great cd.

The National Anthem rules once you get used to its dissonance.

Album Rating: 4.0

yea i've only had the album for a couple of days, but it's all ive been listening to, so we'll see.

Album Rating: 5.0

The National Anthem is so great. I think it's my favorite song off the album.
