Personally, I've never quite "got" the hype over Radiohead, and especially this album, despite the respect I have for their changing styles from album to album.

One of the albums strongest elements for me is that it manages to go from slower works to heavier numbers without losing its momentum and unified atmosphere. All the songs here are strong and well written, with good musical elements and lyrics. There aren't any filler moments here. (Even Fitter Happier has its place.)

Airbag (7/10) Paranoid Android (9/10) Subterranean Homesick Alien (8/10) Exit Music for a Film (7/10) Let Down (9/10) Karma Police (8/10) Fitter Happier (6/10) Electioneering (7/10) Climbing up the Walls (8/10) No Suprises (8/10) Lucky (9/10) The Tourist (9/10)

My main issues with the album is that there some of the better instrumental moments are a little on the short side, and could perhaps have been brought out a little more, and also I am admittedly not a great fan of Yorke's more mumbled moments, especially when his voice sounds so good when he sings more "cleanly." I find that the album never bores me, yet only occasionally rather than consistently 'wows' me. Definately a excellent addition to any collection, but I dont consider it a masterpiece.
