Description
Radiohead's fifth album is possibly the album that OK Computer fans were hoping for instead of the experimental tunes showcased on Kid A. The 11 tracks reveal the band still embracing their new found interest in experimentalism, yet with more of an eye on the sort of tunefulness that brought the massive response to both The Bends and OK Computer.The much vaunted Knives Out will be the one that brings back those fans which were lost on Kid A, as will the disturbing Morning Bell/ Amnesiac and the first single, the unnerving Pyramid Song.
The great work on Kid A has not been banished however, with Like Spinning Plates and Hunting Bears being standout tracks. The album also reveals a new side to Radiohead with Life In A Glasshouse showing their keenness to embrace a brass section led by the multi-talented Humphrey Lyttelton.
A fascinating album with a rich selection. Not as immediately user friendly as earlier albums, but with just as much depth and passion.
