That's the thing, Radiohead clearly has talented, amazing, interesting musicians in their ranks, too bad they often make boring music.
thanks for posting that video, I posted a video response and am expecting a billion views in 5 seconds.
as for the single itself, I think it's about as mediocre as you can get, but for some reason it sounds better than all of IN RAINBOWS combined.
the organ thing that starts at 2:09 is quite awesome. the main beat gets old very quickly though.
All in all, it just sounds so glossy, weird studio production instant-songwriting that IN RAINBOWS had, where it has this real minimal feel to it, like the songs were based on just bass and drums or something and they just piled on different sounds, instead of having prewritten songs that flow from part to part like they did on HAIL TO THE THIEF and stuff. I mean, it's not as bad as ST. ANGER or something, where the songs are obviously just random riffs over Lars drumming to whatever, but ... how did they get from "Paranoid Android" to this? It's SO nauseatingly repetetive... Still the best thing they've done in like 6 years.
