Just had a chance to listen to this, and it brought the same reaction as the last few albums....meh. I guess I'm just tired of the blippety bleeps and the whiny Yorke vocals, and wish they had more melodies like they did with the first few albums.
OK Computer is still the pinnacle of Radiohead for me, and honestly my favorite album from the 90s. It managed to be fresh and interesting, while not forgetting that music is supposed to be enjoyable too. The Bends and Pablo Honey are close right behind for me. The rest of them? There's always a song or two I like, but a good majority live somewhere between forgettable and annoying.
