Title: Overall, a disappointing effort.
Product review: I tried to like this album, I really did. I turned off the phone, locked the doors, sank into my listening room chair, killed all the lights, and let her fly. Now, writing this review after 3 complete listenings to the album over a period of a week, I find myself unsatisfied with the release. I like the "feel" of the album; I like the direction Yorke is trying to take it, but it just gets bogged down by the particulars; too long a track here, too underdeveloped a guitar line, or, more predominantly, too much low bass. Not something I enjoyed listening too; it's always a bad sign when I'm eagerly awaiting the NEXT track, hoping it will be something good. The one stand-out track for me is You and Whose Army, which is powerful and beautiful. It reminds me of Exit Music (for a Film) just a bit (my favorite radiohead track ever).. listen to You and Whose Army, in the dark, at high volume, if you've skimmed over it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
