Included in Magnet's 20 Best Albums of 2001.
Magnet (12/01/2002)
...Another adventuresome, aloof, non-rock joint that's more an album of
concepts than a concept album...
CMJ (06/04/2001)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Similarly shy, textural and embroidered by
electronica, but where it differs vitally from KID A is in being 1) better
balanced, 2) more emotionally intelligible and 3) even more grimly
beautiful...
Q (07/01/2001)
7 out of 10 - ...Lullabies for the compressed present...abandoning
verse-chorus-verse motion to let the tracks just roll out, like bolts of
cloth...
Spin (07/01/2001)
3.5 stars out of 5 - ...Clear proof that the progressive-rock impulse
survived the 20th century....full of computerized clicks and hums...and of
instruments and voices so heavily filtered they sound alienated even from
themselves....It's like ZZ Top kidnapped by Autechre...
Rolling Stone (06/21/2001)
8 out of 10 - ...It complements KID A beautifully....the jazz spasms and
electronic pulsings, the chill blood, and most of all, the chronic
hypersensitivity to the world outside...
NME (06/02/2001)
...Deliriously provocative....as splendidly other and awkward as its sister
album [KID A]...
Mojo (07/01/2001)
9 out of 10 - ...Quintessentially Radiohead, full of existential rock songs
powered by Yorke's delicate, aching, soaring vocals...
Alternative Press (07/01/2001)
...It works for as long as you can keep other - weighted, braver, graver -
examples or exemplars out of your mind, The moment you summon Jeff Buckley
or John Cale, PiL or Can, Talk Talk or David Sylvian, the spell is broken...
The Wire (06/01/2001)
4 discs out of 5 - ...Populated with skittish techno beats, water-damaged
samples and the kind of vocal mastery you would hear from a wounded
donkey....If genuises are slightly mad, then Radiohead is stark, raving
bonkers...

penso che doveva uscire un doppio disco assieme a kid A, č sarebbe stato uno
dei piů grandi di tutti i tempi, una roba colossale.


probabilmente il migliore che hanno fatto, ma fatico a disgiungerlo da kida

 10. Like Spinning Plates
Meglio live.

Un 7 glielo passo sicuramente, anche se, come Kid A, lo trovo un po' pesante
da digerire.
Un doppio, come propone Decadenza, sarebbe si stato un evento, ma,
personalmente, mi avrebbe portato ad ascoltarlo una volta ogni eclisse su
Giza. ;-)
Trovo molto piu' immediato e viscerale "The Bends". I successivi sono via
via piu'.... rerefatti ed astratti.
ciao
A.
