Title: Self Indulgent Art Rock
Product review: Entertainment Weekly hit the nail on the head comparing Radiohead to Yes in the 70's. This is a band that, after OK Computer, has abandoned traditional rock constraints of song structure and melody. There's a place for this -- challenging "art rock" music has always had a market, and the positive reviews here point that out -- but if you caught on to Radiohead with The Bends or OK Computer, I'll bet the odds are higher that you'll feel put off by this CD.That said, Pyramid Song is a glorious exception on this CD. Had that song been representative of the direction they took with this album, this might have been Radiohead's second masterpiece. As it is, in ten years, nobody will remember this CD.
