Title: right now, they can do no wrong
Product review: It's difficult for me to objectively criticize the best major band on the planet, especially when they might be the only decent major band on the planet. (Check the Top 40, then puke.) When was the last time a band or artist with massive commercial draw released work that is simultaneously so blatantly experimental (for a rock band) and so damn good? As Thom Yorke himself has said, "I don't know if there's any value in being a rock band anymore." Radiohead, with the "Kid A/Amnesiac" sessions, has certainly transcended that limiting label.This isn't just genre-hopping. It's the melding of avant, electronica and guitar rock into a new kind of music -- and the journey is extremely rewarding. They aren't the only ones out there on the frontier doing this, but they have exerted a major gravitational influence on everyone else who is. Why? Take a listen.
