Ok the highlights on this album were incredible, with “2 + 2 = 5” probably being my favorite, but “There, There” and “Where I End and You Begin” also being standouts. At this point in Radiohead’s discography, there were 2 groups of fans they had: those who preferred their more traditional rock sounds of “The Bends” and “OK Computer”, and the other group of fans who preferred the more experimental/electronic sounds of “Kid A” and “Amnesiac”. Personally I’m in the former, but I feel like this album does a good job of bridging the gap between those two camps. This album is pretty political and that can get pretty one-note and tiring, especially when you add in the fact that this is Radiohead’s longest album, coming in at 56 minutes. Overall, I really enjoyed it, but it wouldn’t be the first Radiohead album I’d recommend to someone. Solid 7/10

I love this record, my fav track is Epitaph, the whole thing gives me Floydian vibes, but with less emphasis on ambience and some very interesting guitar parts. The almost free-form jazz styles in some tracks (notably 21st Century Schizoid Man) has such a unique, fun, chaotic energy to it that I love. Also, the long track-lengths gives lots of room to expand on the musical ideas. Solid 8/10.
