Title: Sadness
Product review: This is not a great album. You can tell it comes from the same sessions as 'Kid A' as there is a distinct lack of innovative guitar work ( if isolated, the thing that made radiohead songs vital to the ear?) and no real regard for melody. I understand that the band needed to experiment, needed to move on - but they seem to have lost their way. Like Kid A , a lot of this is meandering around in search of a song foundation. To do it once is an acceptable statement, to do it twice could be taking the [dive]. It reminds me, to an extent, of the way that REM spluttered after going gargantuan and never reached the heights we hoped for. If this were a new band, we would all say "Hmm, when they grow up they could be quite good" and they would attain minor indie status. I fear the best of Radiohead is past us.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
