Personally, I found their stuff before "Kid A" to be boring and overdone--yet another whiny Brit-rock/pop band consigned to fall apart after a handful of overhyped albums. Can anyone say "The Verve" or "Mansun"?

Radiohead will always be an 'alternative' band, which is the term used these days to name bands which make music so screwed up that no one gets it.

Fine state of affairs Q magazine has created. What do critics know.

Not much, I agree with you on that rhetorical question. But then again, the critics did not pick Radiohead as Best Act In The World Today, the fans did. Voting was open to all readers of the magazine and visitors of the, publicly available, web-site. In short, WE didn't vote enough for U2 so WE didn't make them Best Act In The World Today/Best Live Act/having the Best Album. Why criticize Q and their critics when WE had the power to award them?
C ya!

are you saying that Aphex Twin's albums aren't cohesive?Originally posted by foray:
Why? - mostly because it is cohesive and its themes are well brought out in the music and lyrics. Forget about how R'head were pushing the envelope with regards to this album; other people did this sort of shit already, say, Aphex Twin. The true achievement of Kid A lies in the reasons stated above.

Fugazi? Help!! I'm caught in a time warp!! It's 1991 again!! Save me!! Actually a lot of good music is going to be released in the next two and a half years. Save me when it's 1994.
Mostly kidding. Fugazi are pretty cool but this just goes to show how fleeting the alterna-darling label can be. Nobody talks about Ian and co anymore and if Thom and co don't get their act together soon they'll suffer the same fate.

no track on "Selected Ambient Vol. 1" could have been on "Richard D. James Album" and no track on "Classics" could have been on "I Care, Because You Do"
in conclusion:
Aphex Twin albums
--> cohesive: yes
--> Thom York lyrics: no (but I don't miss them)

because other people have done this kind of music before, eg. Aphex Twin.

true, but it speaks for itself that Aphex Twin by far surpasses Radiohead musicallyOriginally posted by foray:
Btw, I don't think it's fair to compare AT's music to only Thom's lyrics. R'head's overall music should come into question as well.
since I can't find it in the stores I will have to order it SOON!!!Say, what do you think of AT's latest record?[/B]
