i don't know if tolstoyed has changed her mind over the years....but since i first bought the ok computer tape back in 90s and then the cd....i think it's radiohead's best album. they can pack and draw the curtaings down.
i'm listening to it now ....it sounds so emo cause of that yorkism all around....but it's very good.

I dislike Thom's voice a lot and his lyrics and whole schtick don't do anything for me now but the music on this album still lays me out. The ringing guitar starting at 3:43 of Let Down is one of my Special Music Moments.

And pretentious probably wasn't the best word to use... because I think they're honest as all get out. Maybe ''monochromatic emotionally'', or something. I don't know. I definitely don't agree with what I said in 2004 though.

The backing tracks as they are now... I think would be an interesting listen sans vocals, there's a lot to hear. But the songs were designed to house vocals, so I don't think I'd be too crazy about it except as a curiousity...
...but an album that uses the same sounds and tricks and everything would be awesome if it was specifically designed to be instrumental.

but if you say you like jamie lidell - i might be the first person on xlt to begin to really like you the way you are.
cause some of the versions on multiply-additions are great.

lidell is alright, he did couple of ace songs, and both his albums are strong though nothing too exceptional music wise. it's good fun music, makes you feel good and doesn't need too much thinking. also he seems like a swell dude and does an ace live show. and above all i like his attitude towards music and world. i think there's a bit of a nihilist in him.

he's a bit mad, that's what i like best of him. a bit of madness in you saves you from taking this clueless world/existence too serious.
