"the vocal refrain in give up the ghost is just annoying

first 2 or 3 tracks prevent this from being completely uninteresting"

Finally somebody else that views this meh album the same way I do.

you were saying?

also, i'm actually considering 5ing this... both Live from the Basement and TKOL RMX just really make me appreciate this album even more than i already did, and i loved this thing on first listen.

real talk: this isn't very good



i think radiohead always defined themselves in opposition to the audience's expectations (nobody expected ok computer after the bends, nobody expected kid a after that, nobody expected the "return to normalcy" of in rainbows, etc.). this may sound like a bad thing to define yourself by but at the very least radiohead were always smart about it and made really good music



and i feel like they were sort of stuck after in rainbows and directionless and were just like "fuck it" and released some half-baked tracks and jam sessions as their way of -unleashing something totally unexpected- (see: the fact that this thing is eight tracks long, the fact that nobody knew about it until right before it was released) and that plan backfired on them because, like, most of these songs are boring and not very good. so, (note to james blake and das racist), artists should probably stop doing that whole 'releasing things seemingly for the purpose of frustrating your loyal fanbase' thing

about half of it is acceptable/good but not very exciting.



other half is downright monotonous. i can't understand someone listening to "morning mr. magpie" or "little by little" and being like "WOW this is good!"

"Bloom", "Magpie", "Lotus Flower", "Little By Little", and "Codex" are all exceptional. The rest aren't as good - hence the 4.

this is approximately the opposite of my opinion



little by little totally sounds like a (not particularly good) b-side.

That's why this is a "grower" album. When first gave this a spin to be honest, I thought it was shit.
