Has some great tracks, but it's feels too bloated for its own good.

First few songs show promise, albeit false.

It's a good album, if disappointing by their standards.

Several great songs, but these are outweighed by a few pretty average songs (for Radiohead at least). A Wolf at the Door is one of my Radiohead favourites though.

Great stuff. I definitely prefer this to OK Computer, and I'd probably take it over Kid A at this moment in time. I know Radiohead rankings have been done to death, but at the moment mine probably look something like:

Amnesiac > In Rainbows > The Bends > Hail to the Thief > Kid A > OK Computer > The King of Limbs > Pablo Honey

This is their best record. Only album that comes close is Amnesiac. Come on, guys.

Whatever flaws this album has, I think it contains most of Radiohead's best songs. I'm curious which tracks people consider to be the average/filler ones. I like them all, but I agree that dropping a few might create a more cohesive musical experience with a buttery flow.
