Loved OKC, Kid A was "ehh," The Bends was a waste of my time, didn't even bother checking this one out. Based on my idea of those other Radiohead albums is this worth my time?

Definitely. I'm pretty sure you'll like this one more.

Don't think it is. It's much more chilled out than other Radiohead albums (except their latest, of course), I was pretty disappointed the first times I listened to it, now I think it's, well, good, but pretty boring compared to the rest. It's pleasant, but not mind-blowing and what it's doing at #16? I don't know, I don't think it will suit your taste, but you never know!

I think so. It's a shortish album, so you might as well give it a play and see what you think. It's much closer to OK Computer than any of their other albums, but more beat orientated that melody - which it still does very well in. I love this album because it's just 10, stand-alone songs that are all brilliant and sequenced brilliantly. It's probably the most instantly appealing Radiohead album.

A very nearly perfect album. My third favorite Radiohead. Kid A is still my favorite, with OKC coming in second. I don't find it to be quite as wonderfully ambitious or enjoyable as Kid A, but with the possible exception of House Of Cards, there is hardly a low point on this album

Ehh. Enjoyed it maybe a little more than The Bends, but less than Kid A. Moving on.
