38# in my chart
Strangely i was quite indifferent to Radiohead and There There, was a music revelation to me Angel i couldn't believe my ears when i listened to the whole album. it's still the radiohead's album with the most perfect songs (Sail To The Moon, Backdrifts, Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased), There There, A Wolf At The Door). but i have to admit the only album with 2 unnecessary songs Confused (well with Pablo Honey actually Neutral )
95/100 a MASTERPIECE !

A very good record. "There There" is obviously the highlight, but on the whole, it's solid work, both innovative and cashing in on classic structures. Nice job. If you like this, listen to Lali Puna, the band which Yorke admlitted was his big influence at the time. Try Scary World Theory first.

This album has Radiohead´s most underrated song on it: "I will".
There is another version of it though that´s even better.
Not the LA version, a third one...

Besides "I will", "2+2=5" is the standout track for me.
