It's layered and elusive but it's not weak. It's most similar to Amnesiac, and unsurprisingly that's the kind of reception it's getting. A few will love it, most won't know what to make of it, and there will be those decrying it as a massive disappointment. Once the dust settles in a year or two, a real critical analysis can be drawn. Usually Radiohead's albums grow in stature as the years go by. We will see with this one.
