Title: Great in theory. Doesn't work in practice
Product review: We might admire a noble tribute to one of the great rock groups of our age, but Radiohead's sound simply can't be expressed by a solo piano. The best part of Radiohead's music is the tone established with novel textures, electronic sounds, and production techniques. The vagueness and pliability of these nontraditional instruments can express complicated rhythms and dissonance with a haunting tone that's relevant to the digital world. The piano conveys a classical, natural tone and produces discrete notes which overemphasize all the subtleties. Where Thom's slurred lyrics flow and swagger through the melodies and, O'Riley's piano marches and plonks.Though this CD does offer the listener a different interpretation of the music, most of the quality is lost in the translation.
