The most pretentious record review ever?

[rev]

"it's clear that Radiohead must be the greatest band alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this record!"

1. No, I don't "know who".

2. If breathing is all that's required to produce a brilliant record, I wouldn't be too proud if I were Mr. Yorke. Obviously, all his fans are undead zombies, or they'd be in greatest-band-in-the-world bands, too.

I had a nasty feeling it was going to be one of mine.

Kid A is a great album, though.

[FrustratedPoet]

Meh. Bends and OK Computer were better.

Lester Bangs wannabe.

I liked OK Computer better, but rank Kid A above Bends.

Having just come back from Florence, with an apartment on the Piazza Sante Croce, I must say the area can bring about that sort of emotional spouting in men. It is a magnificent place. The effect even seeing a duo perform there was quite significant, so I can imagine seeing Radiohead in a place like that would be quite special. Also Kid A is a great album. However the man does take it way to far.

*cough* one hit wonder

[Drogue]

Who? Radiohead?

[FrustratedPoet]

Love them or hate them, they can hardly be described as a one-hit wonder. Is it 5 or 6 high-selling albums they've had so far?

[Buck Birdseed]

From a US perspective they certainly were one-hit wonders IIRC, with "Creep" of course. Goes to show that, except for that one slip of judgement with Craap, americans have way better taste than Old Europe.

The Bends is, right now, my favorite.

7: Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, I Might Be Wrong and Hail to the Thief.

So the fact that OK Computer, Kid A, Hail to the Thief and I think Amnesiac too all got to number 1 in the US album charts means they're one hit wonders?

[FrustratedPoet]

Don't distract Buck with facts when he's on his soapbox Drogue, it's very rude.

Kid A, Amnesiac, I Might Be Wrong and Hail to the Thief

?

I thought "I might be wrong" was the name of a track from Amnesiac, not an album. Or have I missed one....? I know they released a couple in a very short space of time...
