Can we please talk, for a moment, about how bad their lyrics are? They're not good.

Also the best song Thom Yorke ever put out is Black Swan.

Also Thom Yorke described Radio Head as "the least annoying song on True Stories," so I don't think he appreciates great music.

Yeah their lyrics are actually really bad. They are always just vague enough to seem deep and important.

The best is when Thom Yorke tries to do solo stuff and it is just limp dick as gently caress

One of the funniest shits on somethingawful.com from back in the day was the music review of radiohead by dr thorpe

people were stupid back in the day and wrote it off as some sort of Kid A b-sides album but actually they saved the better half of the songs from the session for last, deliberately. and that's what it is

True Stories was the worst TH album, and Radio Head was not one of the better songs on the album. So he's in the ballpark but slightly off, much like his pitch.

True Stories is better than Little Creatures, Naked, and Speaking in Tongues.

True Stories isn't a great album, but the film is the closest thing I have to religion and the songs on the soundtrack- sung by the individual actors, rather than by the band- is much better. Thom Yorke is just a bad man and I want to bat him around his face with angry open palms for three uninterrupted minutes.

Can't believe everyone loves 'Street spirit' so much, it is the most boring song on The Bends and easily one of the most generic radiohead songs. That generic-rear end guitar part.

I can see plausible arguments for Little Creatures being worse, but not the other two. The bad production on Speaking in Tongues doesn't stop the songs from being better written and more enjoyable (for me anyway). And Naked, while very uneven, has some of the band's best songs (Bill, Cool Water, Ruby Dear).

The movie is good, yes. For some weird reason, watching David Byrne have autism in Texas is therapeutic.

Speaking in Tongues could just be 45 minutes of Dave moaning while jacking it and it would still be 5 stars as long as it finished with this must be the place.
