Title: Overall, a disappointing effort.
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.
