This album is definitely in my top five of all time. Even though i'm a young music fan I can fully appreciate the effort, genius and triumph of what this album is. All the awards it's nominated with deserve to be won hands down.

The album firstly has a similar sound to Kid A era music, the first song (15 Steps) being slightly similar but somewhat completely different from Idioteque (the genius of Radiohead).

Coming in second Bodysnatchers is a fuzzy heavily bass ridden but soothingly sung fast passed masterpiece especially in the interlude.

Third, Nude slows down the whole tempo of this album; my friends and I describe this song as a child singing in its mothers womb and it's easy to see why, very slow, airy and floaty but incredibly important.

Next up, Weird Fish/Arpeggi brings a rather new sound to the grossly large Radiohead catalogue the rhythms being simple but not boring, soft but entertain and slowly build into a marvelous crescendo of what Radiohead… more »

All I Need follows and again slows down the album, quite a depressing song but one which you have to love for its simplicity with every instrument although clearly alot of think has gone into creating this mellow sound.

Acoustic genius in Faust Arp with it's catchy and random lines which could mean absolutely anything to anyone again allowing the listener to make their own choices; something which I personally love about music.

Reckoner, backboned by Thom's guitar this falsetto anthem has brilliance in every corner, a pretty standard layout but again, the band do this so well, why fix something if it's not broken!

House of Cards, released as the promotional single (along with Bodysnatcher) diversifies the whole album and this is a likely for listen for many budding Radiohead fans! It's slightly poppy but has a very alternative sound. Check out the video for this one!

Second to last, Jigsaw Falling Into Place seems to me that if I had to pick a best song of this album, reluctantly I would pick this song (I say reluctantly because all the songs are worthy of numerous honours throughout the music world). I love the acoustic feel to it and the way again it builds very subtely but becomes an immense amount of energy in its ending 30secs.

Finally but by no means least, Videotape, a classic, Thom Yorke and a piano, what better simplicity. Perfect example of song writing in its purist form. And the final line sums the day I listened to this album first through:

"No matter what happens now, I won't be afraid, Because I know, Today has been the most perfect day I have ever seen."

Or heard in this case.

I hope this review proved beneficial for you and I really sincerely hope you buy this album above all others this year! I'm getting a new minisystem just to play it!
