Best tracks - Just, Street Spirit (Fade Out), Planet Telex
Worst Tracks - Sulk
Short overview: Improving drastically on Pablo Honey, Radiohead created the most exhilarating guitar album of all time. While most of it is straight forward rock, it packs quite an emotional punch on Black Star and the classic Street Spirit.
