That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the lack of hooks since "Kid A" has been a problem for me. I have this theory that it was becoming a problem for EMI, as well. It's hard to market a record with no obvious singles. Granted, I loved "Black Swan," but the rest of Thom Yorke's solo record had that same amorphous quality--you know, like it's all one long song, or as you suggest, like all the albums are part of a larger whole. I suppose I'll probably always *like* Radiohead, but I'm finding them increasingly hard to love. And I've felt the same way about Wilco since "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." Sorry for such a long-winded response. Great to hear from you, and I hope the holidays are treating you well.kathy fennessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652578186517071779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16332425.post-70465742453972574392007-12-10T16:47:00.000-08:002007-12-10T16:47:00.000-08:00I consider Radiohead a commodity at this point -- ...I consider Radiohead a commodity at this point -- they never disappoint me, I'm not weary of them by any stretch of the imagination, but I can't for the life of me discern a qualitative difference among their albums, or maybe even their songs. The new stuff is fresh for a short while -- after that, you could put on anything of theirs and I'd enjoy it equally. At this point in my musical fandom, that's actually a compliment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
