Vice Magazine has been around for a long time now so the magazine is reputable, although they are kind of grunge magazine in the sense that they truly stick to their own style of writing and topics. The only thing that makes me suspicious that this is a joke is the title Creep II. Who knows though, we'll have to wait till Saturday.

How about the lyrics on the outro?

Listening to some Radiohead in anticipation. Planet Telex right now. Entirety of Hail to the Thief earlier. I used to think HTTT had some weak tracks, but now I'm really digging them all. Great album all the way through.

In some chronological order: Lurgee (admittedly raw and a bit banal, but i thought this was a positive preface to later stuff), Black Star, Street Spirit, No Surprises, Lucky, Idioteque (this one is amazing live), Morning Bell (great transition between it and Idioteque), I Might Be Wrong, A Wolf at the Door, Nude, Reckoner.
My favorite is still OK Computer. Just a complete album and barely edges out Kid A for me, mostly from the lyrical side. But I will say that when I first played Kid A for a group of my friends in grad school (I had left the lab to buy the CD and bring it back), we were all somewhat dumbfounded and looking around at each other. I think that speaks a lot to what they did.
The Bends my favorite is Planet Telex and, lately, (Nice Dream).
OK Computer has so many works of incredible beauty, but Let Down's build up and lyrics gave me the strongest emotional reaction to music I've ever had. It was the first song where the power of music became clear to me.
Kid A, the composition blows me away to this day. How anyone even thinks to create songs like Kid A or The National Anthem is beyond me. Even if the songs didn't quite work, the ambition would be admirable. But every song does work and incredibly well.
Amnesiac gets a bad rap for being a "b-side album", which is completely false. It flows from song to song maybe better than any other album, and the songs are of equal quality to Kid A. The two albums have an entirely different feel as well. Amnesiac is more jazzy, sad and resigned, where Kid A is hopeful, angry and paranoid. Dollars and Cents is my favorite track.
Hail to the Thief I always felt was the least polished of the albums, but lately it has really clicked. Definitely the angriest of the albums, it just seems to pulsate with rage. A lot of really good rock songs. There There is a masterpiece. Sail to the Moon is beautiful if you have a good sound system or headphones.
In Rainbows' hallmark is its rhythm. Yorke was very influenced by hip hop and DJs during this time and it comes through in the music. Weird Fishes, Reckoner, All I Need, and 15 Step all explore rhythm in different ways. Reckoner is my favorite from this album.

I have to agree with the love for Let Down. That's music at its best. Songs like that are the reason people go crazy over Radiohead. Its hard to compare other "normal" music after you've heard something so authentic and emotionally charged and powerful. But its the tip of the iceberg of what makes Radiohead such a great band.
