Radiohead today are a lot more than the bends. Things changed in big ways after Kid A.

I kinda like the song "Paranoid Android" but even that is a song I never volunteer to play unless I'm forcing myself to listen to Radiohead. Oh well, my loss I guess.

Have you given Hail to the Theif a listen yet? Its so much different from any of their previous albums, maybe you'll like that better

I would have called it a progression from the experimentation of Kid A and Amnesiac. I feel the album combines the best elements of all their past work.

I think Amnesiac and Hail to the Theif are pretty similiar. But if you listen to Pablo Honey, The Bends, or OK Computer, and then listen to Hail to the Theif, you wouldnt even know they were both by the same band.

That's interesting. I've always seen Kid A and Amnesiac as going hand in hand.

It's probably true what you say about the first three albums and Httt, but I still think Httt wouldn't be what it is without the first three albums. It's got the electronic elements of Kid A and Amensiac but in a few tracks they combine this with their earlier rock sound.

It sounds like a mature, well rounded album, one in which the band were able to compose their many ideas into one work... that's how I've been seeing it.

Ive always said that HttT is their best album all the way through. Their isnt a second of filler on that whole album.

I agree that Kid A and Amnesiac go hand in hand. For me there are two different Radioheads, the Pablo Honey, Bends, and Ok Computer Radiohead, and the Kid A, Amnesiac, and HttT Radiohead. Both are great, but with very different sounds.

I like lots of songs on HttT, but I find that there IS a lot of filler. I haven't listened in a while, but one song that I REALLY dislike is Scatterbrain. I think the album would have such an awesome finish going Punchup, Myomatosis, Wolf at the Door.

ahh its all subjective ( did i use that word right? ) i really like Scatterbrain
