    Prob through the album twenty or so times. Love it. Glad I got the newspaper can't wait to see it and hear these songs on vinyl.

    I like the comparison others have made with these songs and Pyramid Song. I think it captures a lot of the essence of House of Cards too. Great album. Better each listen.

    Oh my... this is perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

    I adore this band.

    And yes, I acquired the taste. Grew to love them. The first time I put Kid A on I could not go through to the end. Then one day it hit me and I have never gone back.

    But this one is love at first listen.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    It's has grown on me, but Bloom and Feral are complete garbage. Really picks up with the last 3 tunes.

    I gotta say I'm not really getting into it. Kinda boring. And it seems like we've been here before. Really like "Little By Little" though. Maybe it'll grow on me. I've only listened to it twice.

    Listening for the second time and I must say that I really like it. I wish it were longer. Good stuff once again from a top notch band.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I've listened 4 times. A really good album that will definitely grow on me. Bloom and Feral are my least favorite but I believe they will grow on me, too. I would give it a 4/5 at this point. In Rainbows was a 5/5.

    I bought the newspaper album + WAV that I've burned to a CD-R and put on my iPod. It will be nice to get the 2x10" with all the artwork in May...

    I listened and it is fuckin' Radiohead. If someone would have asked me what the new album might sound like, I don't think I would have been far off by saying, "Like Radiohead"

    And it's good. Listen to it with head phones. Layer after layer.

    I think im in the minority here but I think the first half of the album is much better. thats what I concluded after 3 listens. The second half, especially the two slow piano/acoustic songs sound pretty generic to me. I think the first 3 tracks are alot more creative. Feral is more of an interlude but even that is pretty cool IMO. And I dont see whats all that good about Separator. overall id give it a 3.5/5

    Really don't think there's a weak track on this thing. "Feral" will probably be singled out as its low point but it's a cool song to listen to on headphones.

    unreal stuff. despite a mere 8 tracks, these guys create another masterpiece. Can they do any wrong?

    It took me 20-30 listens to really get into the sweet spot of this album. its gorgeous.

    THEY DID IT AGAIN!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

    Would be nice if Radiohead does some interviews about this eventually. Wouldn't mind knowing more about the recording process for this record.

    I didn't know what to think at first, but after several listens, I really, really enjoy it. And that makes me happy -- a band that can challenge the shit out of you, make you say "what the fuck?!" and still draw you into the music. my favorite is "separator." one of the best songs they've ever done, and dreamy with the echoey lyrics and fadeout music. fucking awesome way to end the record, too. anyone who doesn't like some of it -- someone mentioned not liking 'feral' -- listen to it with either headphones or with the bass blasted. some of the best bass work -- actually, probably the best bass on any RH album.

    Haha! So true.

    I'll likely write a massive long tirade about my feelings towards Radiohead, just as soon I clean the last bits of puke off my keyboard from reading all the sycophantic shite written in this thread.
