4 stars The start of the "electronic experiments". Good album...not a "masterpiece" but it has very interesting moments. For example, "Idioteque" seems like a parody on modern "electronic" DJ music but it sounds like a mix of that and Can...how come nobody is complaining about Can being considered progressive, eh? Anyway, that's a good song. The first song, "Everything..." is also pretty good, with all those effects, and a "dark" atmosphere that attracts me. "How To Dissapear..." is not bad either, with a good melody. The title track is mostly electronic and it sounds nice to me. I do understand why some people might hate it. "The National Anthem" sounds like a bunch of noise, it can be entertaining but I could live without it honestly, in spite of its good bassline. "Treefingers" is a bit boring. I like "In Limbo" and "Optimistic", but they are not my favourites. The last 2 are average. A cold, inaccesible album. If you think Radiohead is a pop band as some here seem to think, then you must listen to this one.
