you sir, are absolutely right. i never really liked radiohead until countless listens. now, kid A and amnisiac and that last one, hail to the thief, i think are brilliant pieces of pop song writing.
in fact, i'd go so far to say that a lot of what i consider my all time favourite pop albums or experimental albums i hated upon initial listen. i used to sell that kind of stuff, only to find myself rebuying it a later point in time, kicking myself for selling it in the first place. but that's the process i go through. close- mindedness eventually yielding to truth.

As with anything of Yorke and Radiohead, it takes a few listens to enjoy completely, but that's the sign of a good work. I like the minimalist approach and think that it's a solid piece of work.

had a bootleg way before it came out and i never listened to it properly. then i bought the real deal when it came out and still haven't had the motivation to really give it a good listen. i saw radiohead in toronto and was bored to death. they sounded like a really good radiohead cover band. every note in the right place. i just kind of ODed on the whole thing. like when i stopped listening to björk. it was like: enough already. we get it. sincerity refined to a science.
from my initial impression, the sound design and beats on eraser are nothing groundbreaking. if anything, a bit dated, drained of emotion and energy. but i suppose, just like kid A and whatnot, it'll seem more progressive to those outside electronic music, which isn't entirely a bad thing. in the long run, that is.
what i really liked, though, is johnny greenwood's 'bodysong' soundtrack. that's pretty damn cool. check that out.
