This is a astonishing album that literally takes your breath away with its consistant magnificence. The raw power and energy of Pablo Honey, the forerunner to this album, was superb in itself, but hinted nothing to what was to come on this heartbreaking masterpiece. The mixture of Thom Yorke's brutally pained vocals and the torturous beauty of the guitars make for a majestic album. Every track is outstanding, but personal favourites include the mighty 'Just' (superb video too!), High and Dry, and Planet Telex. An extraordinary album that seems to improve with every listen.
