coldplay is great...

and the new radiohead cd is amazing.
dance you f*cker, dance you f*cker
a flan in the face
like a bullet in a china shop...

i'm listening to HT3 now...

I bought it about a week ago. It took a couple of times for me to fully "get" it. I must admit at first I didn't really like it, but now I appreciate it just as much as Kid A and OK Computer. I really like "Myxomatosis."

Totally love HTTT. I've totally loved every Radiohead album (well... I <i>liked</I> Pablo Honey, but I didn't love it). For sure, each one has its own personality.

HTTT has the guitar rock backbone of The Bends, but with the songwriting maturity developed through the arc of Ok Computer/Kid A/Amnesiac. It's interesting, though, that except for a few traditionally-crafted tunes, Hail to the Thief would be just as fragmented, distant, and difficult as amnesiac. So they're sort-of back to their roots, but at a remove informed by the ground they've covered since Pablo Honey.

I've had "Sit Down. Stand Up." in my head off and on for about a week now. That and "Where I End and You Begin".

I like the album, but The songs sound very similar.
