• It’s maybe the most accessible disc they’ve made since The Bends.
  • 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.
