I got the same! Then 20 minutes later, I hear the postman put something through the door and there they are! Talk about quick delivery.

However, I can see why they thought that a 9.2 was just out of reach.

The Greatest Hits 4.0 is a superb read on Pitchfork.

1.9/10 for Lateralus. Our generation's Dark Side of the Moon.

Even if you think TOOL are the worst band of all time, 1.9/10 would still be harsh

Blasphemy!

This review is just hilarious. He then talks about what his parents listened to.

My favourite terrible Pitchfork review is their largely positive but totally clueless review of Original Pirate Material.

Confession time.  My name is Stuartbert Two Hats and I :

• Am not bothered by either version of True Love Waits.  Just skipped it and went back to the start
• Don't feel the urge to ever listen to the non-album songs other than Supercollider.  That includes The Daily Mail.

Huge slurs! Talk Show Host? These Are My Twisted Words? Staircase? Banana Co.? Pearly?

Man permanently scarred by four-star review of Radiohead album

As hard as I try, I'm struggling to get

"Broken Hearts, Make It Rain ... Broken Hearts, Make It Raaaaiiiiinnnn"

out of my head!

And also the image of Thom throwing dollar bills over strippers.

I'm exactly the same, Sir! I think when the choir kicks in singing it is my favourite part of the whole album so far. I know everybody is loving "The Numbers" and I do love it, but is anybody else disappointed by the crescendo at the end which amounts to nothing? I was hoping they'd go all Sigur Ros on us!

I would certainly agree that when the choir kicks in on Identikit is the highlight of the album for me. 

The thought at the possibility of this with a live choir at the Roundhouse is mouth-watering to say the least!

1. In Rainbows

2. OK Computer

3. The Bends

4. The King Of Limbs 

5. Hail To The Thief

That changes quite a lot, but I think this new album is destined to be one of my least favourites. 

Listening through the albums to verify this. Turns out The Bends isn't as good as I remember being. Bit boring and I probably enjoyed Pablo Honey more. Step forward Kid A. 

[stuartbert two hats]

1. Identikit
2. Daydreaming
3. Decks Dark
4. Burn The Witch
5. Ful Stop
6. Present Tense
7. Desert Island Disk
8. The Numbers
9. Tinker etc.
10. True Love Waits
11. Glass Eyes

It's way too soon to do this list.

BTW, anyone else think that Ful Stop could easily be on HTTT?

[Hugh Jass]

Vinyls still available here if anyone still wants one.

i am not a big radiohead fan but I did get apple music recently and so i listened to the latest three albums. I think the latest one is very accomplished musically but it doesn't do a right lot for me.

It has however made me realise that in rainbows is an utter classic and tour de force. You'll make a fan out of me yet. can't believe it is almost 10 years old in Rainbows. I think I was too caught up in the indie pop scene of 2005-2008 at that time to appreciate it properly.

7. Present Tense

8. True Love Waits

9. Desert Island Disk

10. The Numbers

Very jealous of anyone going to the Roundhouse, even though I'm seeing them in Berlin it feels like aaaages away. If they do take the string orchestra on the tour with them I still hope they'll keep them for the festivals!

[SwedgeAntilles]

1. Indentikit

2. Daydreaming

3. The Numbers

4. Burn The Witch

5. Present Tense

6. Ful Stop

7. Decks Dark

8. Glass Eyes

9. True Love Waits

10. Desert Island Disk

11. Tinker Tailor...

Daydreaming has been playing in my head since the day it came out, properly burrowed it's way in there, I think it's wonderful. It's a testament to Identikit that I've rated that higher. 

Agree it's early days to be listing the songs though. If it wasn't already the opener I could see myself skipping to Burn The Witch every time I put the album on. It's such a visceral track (oh yeah, I went with 'visceral', I know what thread I'm in). 

[jparx]

1. Present Tense
2. Identikit
3. True Love Waits
4. Decks Dark
5. Burn the Witch
6. The Numbers
7. Ful Stop
8. Daydreaming
9. Desert Island Disk
10. Glass Eyes
11. Tinker Tailor

Very hard to choose between the top 6 though.

The Eminem Show one is my favourite. I'm not sure what the author was on when he wrote it but it's brilliant, I think there was some sort of deal that his review wouldn't be edited so he could put whatever he wanted. it get's the same score as A Moon Shaped Pool to. 9.1/10

Pitchfork gave Lateralus 1.9?

Pitchfork can fuck off. Lateralus is as you have said an extremely important and influential album and they give it 1.9? PLEASE! MY DOG DESERVES MORE THAN 1.9 AND MY DOG IS SHIT*
