All-in-all, Radiohead did smash it out of the park with their third album. While I think the album does lose its footing a bit on tracks 7-8 (Fitter is a great concept, but a bit dull, while Electioneering is a great song, but just doesn't compare to the rest of the pack), and 'The Tourist' closes the album off perfectly. The underlying themes of paranoia, technology and the upcoming new digital age are done subtly, but to great effect. The lyrics on the album are so accurate in our modern age, that it's kind of scary. The guitars in the album are a lot more subtle than on The Bends, and, added with the masterful use of electronics, the album manages to be atmospheric without losing its rhythm.

The instruments are wild and take from a lot of other styles, which I do love.

Thom sounds amazing, be it on the epic 'Paranoid Android', to the immense closing chorus of 'The Tourist'. This album is such a step-up from the great, albeit slightly formulaic and generic sound of The Bends, into the masterful territory.

This album is such a step-up While it may have taken about five listens to fully pin down, and enjoy, enjoy it I did, and still do immensely. While it may have taken about five listens to fully pin down, and enjoy, enjoy it I did, and still do immensely.
