Maybe it's just because I'm a white, middle-aged male and occasional Guardian reader, but I've always kind of liked this album.

My least favourite Radiohead album but it's still good. Just not brilliant. However I think #123 is far too high a rating for it. It's not up there with the best of the best IMHO.

I used to listen to this like every day for probably a year (I never use hyperbole). Anyway, eventually it just got so depressing and sucked the hope out of me so much so, I didn't listen to it for like 5 years.
Musically and conceptually I find it fantastic, but it does grind on me and turns me off eventually. I suffer enough from cognitive dissonance, I don't need to be reminded on how screwed up we all are all the time. Just sometimes.
It's incredibly powerful that way though, imo

I find its ideas very interesting and I get that it's their most overtly political album and they were venting a lot of anger about things like the war in Iraq and stuff. And I like the aggression and the cynicism on the album. But for me it just lacks TUNES. Melody seems to have got lost on the way. Maybe this is deliberate on their part Idk. But then again I love The King Of Limbs so...
It just doesn't grab me like their other albums. Plus it's too long to sustain my interest.
