  the current rating isn’t really a indication of quality, it’s just about how much I liked it on the first go round and I feel like this is one of those albums that you can really sit with and get more and more out of it with each listen, so I feel like that’s a fair score for my first time. I also feel like this is one of those albums that you’re missing half of that puzzle piece if you’re not looking at the lyrics, which, for some people could be a really good or really bad thing I think sometimes it’s good, and sometimes it’s bad. It’s depends on the situation and the album. This is also one of those albums that you really have to allow space with and you have to give the album space to breathe and to be its own thing without people trying to shove it down your neck and tell you it’s the most amazing album because otherwise you’re just gonna not like it because everybody else likes it and you’re going to have the temptation to be contrarian. I imagine that when Radiohead first wrote this album, I highly doubt that they were trying to write the greatest album ever but they were trying to write the greatest album they could. Where my opinions are on the album again I feel like it’s hard to tell right now because there’s just a lot of it. Not like there’s a lot of songs, but they’re very dense in a way and again without the lyrics I feel like I’m missing a lot. Of course, “Exit Music (For a Film)” is amazing. That song alone is a 10 out of 10 for me every day of the week with nostalgia and memories, and all that. But even taking that out it’s an amazing song. I think one thing that impressed me about the music itself was how the instruments all really seamlessly worked together. They just really kind of molded into one, almost like ball of music if that makes any sense and I thought that was really cool. Also, the singer’s voice is just awesome. I could listen to it all day long, he doesn’t have the most varied emotional range on this album I feel like, but I don’t count that against them. Amazing voice. There’s no real thing that I have against this album at all. Nothing that I can pick out is wrong with it which could mean that I find it to be a perfect album later, but it’s definitely one of those that I’m gonna have to sit with for a while and dig into the lyrics and think about for a while before I go, “Yeah, this is exactly how I feel about it.” This is kind of how I felt about Fetch the Bolt Cutters, and a little bit with TPAB and some of those other albums when I first listened to them. It’s like there’s no denying that they’re great but maybe because you’ve been told that they’re so amazing or maybe they just take more time you just kind a left with this, “Huh, that was interesting.” I don’t know what to think about it yet, but I liked it. Favorite song? Exit Music (For a Film)

  The paranoid masterpiece that ended Britpop's party and predicted the next twenty-five years of unease. Every element — Yorke's falsetto dread, Greenwood's guitar sabotage, the android lullabies between songs — serves a single vision of technology curdling into isolation. "Paranoid Android" and "Let Down" still sound like transmissions from right now.
