I think I get your point if you're talking about the music itself. I don't necessarily mean their music is always gloomy. Not at all. But "Videotape" actually bums me right the fuck out, to be honest.
Dollars and Cents is an excellent song but it's been the stuff of more than one real life bad trip for me. "We are the dollars and cents and be pounds and pants and the mark and the yen/ we're gonna crack your little souls, crack your little souls"
I once ate a heroic dose of mushrooms and got way too familiar with Amnesiac for my own good.
*shivers*
Maybe you're right, maybe it's just me. But the fact remains that their music often feels almost soulless to me, even though I've been a fan since I was a pre-pubescent.
I'm not saying I don't love Radiohead. I'm just saying... I don't know. None of the lyrics to "Burn the With" surprise me. The title itself seems like something that would pop into my head if I were asked to invent a Radiohead song on the spot (I know it's an older song, but you take my meaning I hope). The video? A mashup of Trumpton and the Wicker Man? Sounds almost predictably Radiohead. Nursery rhymes and scary shit.
