- All the critics and OK Computer addicts who accused 21st Century Radiohead of being “melody-free and meandering” can rest easy now.

- People who cry foul at the fact that the mp3s are only 160kbps, rather than the CD-quality 192 kbps, have too much free time on their hands.
- I do still wish there was packaging, though.
