"The negative reviews are funny. Try listening to the album more than once before embarrassing yourselves next time. At the beginning of my first listen, all I could hear was Thom Yorke doing a Mick Jagger impression as well. Eventually, and it shouldn't take long, you'll be able to appreciate the..." [+] Reply
