That said, it's like "He's done it again." Then oen thinks: "Well, actually, THEY'VE done it again." The album has Thom stamped all over it, and, at first, one thinks the rest of the boys are background. Then reality creeps in like a good creeper weed, and one begins to slowly realize howseemless these guys really are--they're a unit, and they just roll along. In Rainbows isn't the best album Radiohead has ever released. I agree with one of the above fellows who said they set the bar so high with OK Computer, they can't out-do themselves. Orson Welles had that problem with Citizen Kane. The difference is that this album, expecially its more intricate tracks, such as Reckoner, Nude, All I Need and House of Cards are virtually flawless for their time. It’s not OK Computer.

The rock bands I like I can count on the fingers of one hand. Therefore The Duke Spirit should be glad that I care about their music. Perhaps I like the spunk of Liela Moss their lead singer. Perhaps I’m giving them a chance to worm their way into my head in the hope that other bands will follow and rock music can gain a foothold in popular music rankings again. Maybe. I haven’t tired of my In Rainbows package yet nor the Burial album. Both not rock. [...] [...] Life During Wartime. The rock bands I like I can count on the fingers of one hand.
