Which everyone pretended was hot shit at the time. Gonna be great when they inevitably release a relatively straightforward guitar album in a few years and people will be rolling with "well thank goodness it's not formless, half-assed soundscapes like the old one, which I totally called for what it was at the time."…

Bingo. The fandom fawning is ridiculous.

Nah man. With regards to actively listen/think about the music, let's just say that Deerhoof Does What Radioheadon't.

Elliott Smith subsisted for years on ice cream and heroin and eventually killed himself in the process of making From A Basement On The Hill and it didn't stop that album from being somewhat short of excellent. And Elliott Smith fans didn't contort themselves into ridiculous shapes in its defense, either.

B? Take away the inevitable Radiohead grade, erm, creep…and this one's quite the turd, eh? (That Pitchfork gave KoL something starting with a "7" might've been the biggest insult they ever gave the band.)

Go in peace, friend.

For the great majority of bands.

I beg that people use the opened door of artrock that Radiohead used to represent (they haven't since 2002 or so, frankly) and go in the damn house eventually, there's a lot better stuff sitting around in there

It's hard to separate the artist from the most gullible fanbase in the game. Radiohead fans, well….they do it to themselves.

The insufferable fanboys herein continue to make this band impossible to listen to sans context. Just break up already, Radiohead.

Do we really need one, though? Album 1 was a classic, one of the best of the decade. Albums 2 and 3 were various flavors of "decent," nothing more.

The best part of the Foodfight! saga was that someone found a site where it was continuously streaming. I was funemployed at the time and watched it from start to finish. Three times.

Kid A works as a nice little tossed-off album of B-side material that really tails off at the end. Only "Kid A" and "How To Disappear Completely" are really worth saving for the vault, and of those two, the latter is incredibly frustrating to me because it just can't commit to the sonic nuttiness of its potential.…

Pretty, lovely, fine, fair, comely, pleasant, agreeable, acceptable, adequate, satisfactory, nice, benign, harmless, innocuous, innocent, largely unobjectionable, safe, forgettable.

Duly noted. Also, In Rainbows is overrated as hell. The "see? we can still rock! please like us!" noodling is just depressing, and Gnarls Barkley's cover of "Reckoner" blows Radiohead's off the planet. Also, "Faust Arp" is an Elliott Smith ripoff to end Elliott Smith ripoffs. That album sucks. 2007 Radiohead sucks too.

Mmm. I just remember it came out the same year as Parallax and Kaputt, albums full of soul and smarts and fucking blood, and then when nobody really loved it, they re-released it like 10 times now with even NEWER boo-scary artwork and whatever else bullshit. That album sucks. 2011 Radiohead sucks.
