This is still not a return to the Radiohead of old, but they continue to push the boundaries and explore their musical abilities. Radiohead are still an immensely talented band and invaluable to the music world. Credit should be given for the want to continually shy away from the consumer ideals of the commercial music market. Radiohead are by no means past it and this album shows it, another chapter in the lives of this mysterious bunch of pals. A return to guitar based music, with some superbly classic guitar rifts, should be welcome to Radiohead fans alienated by the last album Amnesiac. This IS Radiohead on form but this is NOT Radiohead at their best. Things just might be looking up for the Oxford lads and their incredibly intellectual and mature audience, such as myself. I fully recommend this album to anybody that likes Radiohead. OFFICIALLY the worlds best band (in my own words, no offence intended to people who like any other band, in any other country, in any far slung corner of the world). One critiscm I do have is the confusing play list, every song has two names, hence the reason I couldnt pick out any individual songs for praise!!!
