The 4 is for the singles: excellent! The video of Poney (Pt. 2, if I’m not mistaken) literally drives me crazy, (the one with the dogs in the wind, just to be clear)! Very professional reception...

"Still Waiting" is identical to "Almeno Stavolta" by Nek!!! But I "preferred" them when they were less "mature"... Anyway, I wouldn’t have bought the CD just for that vomit-inducing cover! Great review: very detailed, straightforward, and interesting.

Who, among those who rated the album 1, has ever listened to it in its entirety?

I have already said (almost) everything in the review of Zerstorer. Nevertheless, the fact remains that this album is a profound disappointment: since they were at it, they could have changed their name to "The 3 of the Apocalypse" to release such a "revealing" album. Too many musical references, in short, a true mishmash, even messed up here and there. If this July you intend to buy just one CD, save your 20 ¤ for "The Eraser," a much more mature record that, despite being highly ambitious, doesn’t have too many pretensions. Lacking the so-called "trying too hard" of the gentlemen in question.

I sincerely apologize to Thom Yorke: it deserves a re-listen. The truth is that this is an absolutely ambitious and mature album. Pardon! (But then again, the first time I played it was at past midnight and I was a bit sleepy.)

I almost forgot: although the aforementioned songs are, all in all, acceptable, they remain terribly kitsch. So it's a tacky album, cover included (and forgive me, the one who created the artwork for "The Dark Side of the Moon"). I'm done.

The umpteenth partial disappointment. Best song: the single. Strange, but beautiful: "Take a Bow" (a piece that's at times disco or maybe muse-disco), "Starlight" (even though it sounds like the theme to a cartoon or the new song by The Ark), "Soldier's Poem" and the last one (epic, indeed, it makes me think of knights conquering space or maybe I just don't know Morricone). I claim Matt's falsetto!. But then with those lyrics, who do they think they are? The oracle! And they could have really spared us the album commercial rotating on MTV, but they achieved their goal as they are second in the charts only to “Tizzi”! Ah, Sunburn! Ah, Feeling Good! Ah, Hysteria! I give it a 3 purely for encouragement.

Honestly, I expected a bit more from that genius... Anyway, I agree with you: the other Radiohead have a huge influence. I also picked up on "I Might Be Wrong" and "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box." Thom Y had indeed said that he had broken up some old melodies to make them unrecognizable and then reuse them. They don't seem that unrecognizable to me... But maybe it deserves a few more listens (cliché, sorry!)
