The new Radiohead rocks about as hard as a sewing circle at a retirement community.
If you're honestly into this record, drop out of rock'n'roll and go into accounting school, you've obviously missed the fucking point.
Except for "Bodysnatchers." "Bodysnatchers" is cool.
Oh yeah. Hey. I'm Charlie ex-Flood. Jerry's letting me post here now because apparently things weren't pessimistic or bitchy enough around here.

i'm first in line to disagree. heartily. have you listened to it with good headphones? since when was radiohead only about rocking? what point have i missed? anything that isn't harsh isn't good music.
your review is lame. you obviously didn't put any time into it. why should we bother to read it, nevermind take your opinion seriously? who is your reader?
what radiohead songs on other albums do you like? are you only into Bends-y guitar stuff?
i straight up love In Rainbows.

p.s. you should change the settings on this blog to allow comments from non-google users. you're alienating people for no reason.
nothin?
Dude, lighten up. Talking shit like 14-year-olds is the best part about the internet.
I like half of the Bends, all of OK Computer, all of Kid A, and a couple songs off each of their records after that, but it's been less and less each time.
They obviously didn't spend a whole lot of effort on the writing process of the record, why should I expend more in return than I feel is earned? You like at least one boring record, possibly more. Deal with it.
They toured extensively practicing new stuff live to work the kinks out. Songs like Nude they've bee working on for at least nine years. Is the decade mark your litmus test for 'enough' effort being put into a record?
It's not a fair assessment to say I should lighten up just because I called you out for commentary that didn't make much sense. You're putting yourself out there -- and inviting feedback with provocative writing -- so maybe you're the one who should lighten up about taking constructive criticism; I thought your review was lame and I told you why. If you don't want comments (e.g. "deal with it") you should shut them off. If you don't want readers, keep writing like an ass.
I still think you should give it another try with good headphones. Just sayin'.
