"I'm let down with Hail to the Thief"

It has some really good songs on it but then there's a load of balls on it and is only a slight step forward from Kid A/Amnesiac I feel. For a band that was so insistent on changing after Ok Computer they've managed to produce three albums of the same music area. It's still a good album though and but even the live songs last year in Spain were a lot better, I saw a version of 'There There' on radiohead.tv from 2001 last night and it has the same musical angle as Ok Computer and The Bends which makes me think they now feel like they must manipulate their music when really bah whatever.

Even though I've been listening to the songs since February and such it's not until now I've kinda concluded that I expected a bit more from it. And after posting on many Radiohead message boards I've came to the conclusion that the majority are arty student pr.cks that say Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors are their favourite tracks and they LOVE!!! the There There b-sides. And if you express a different view then you're scum, knobheads.

2+2=5 is excellent though.

Basically they got a few good songs, some as singles, and decided to compile another album. However they realised they only had about 4/5 decent tracks for it and so messed about in the recording studio for a few days and made some filler material so they could release an album.

Let's talk about the album again, I'm bored.

So... The Gloaming

Sail to the Moon is the best track on that album, although I just rediscovered 2+2=5 in a big way last night

Where I End And You Begin grew on me last night

So did Myxa

I'm actually liking it quite a lot now

Myxamatosis is great, quite unlike anything they've done before. The bassline reminds me of Airbag, another of my favourites.

Am I the only one that thinks "Where I end and you begin" is the best?

There's one bit, about 2:26 in when a weird synth noise screams and climbs all over and through the song.
Reminds me of Scotland.

I love Wolf At The Door, 2+2=5, Myxamotosis,Scatterbrain and Sail To The Moon.

Yes, you're wrong.
