I don't know whether it's because I'm in the mood right now but this album is working for me. They claimed that this record was the closest they've done to 'The Bends' - well, guys, that's just not true. It sounds something like Thom Yorke's solo album (if anyone has seen 'A Scanner Darkly' they will have heard 'Black Swan' as the closing track) with a hint of 'Hail to the Thief'. If you don't like either of those albums then don't bother with this one.
Yes, I'm talking about the new Radiohead album. It's only available right now as a download. You can also choose what you want to pay for it. I splashed out and paid £1 sterling. I got surprised by the 45p debit card charge. Jeez, I'm a student guys! Steady on!
In short: I like it.
I suppose this is what you get when a very rich band has no record deal with a publisher. They pay for their own studio time and release their music however they see fit. Well, I like it. This should happen more often. Damnit.
