Matt at Hahamusic was bold enough to ask the question all of us have been thinking. Who stole Radiohead’s manly bits? (paraphrase). I want to go show them the overdrive button on their amp, but they know exactly where it is, they’re just being weenies about not using it.
Neutered guitar tone or no, I must concede this album is badass, and well worth snagging at http://www.inrainbows.com for 40 pence and up, depending on your level of generosity for the rich and/or confusion about the nature of the dollar-pound exchange rate.
Hopefully Nate will have some more intelligent things to say about all this… thoughtful analysis is not really my domain. My job here is to photoshop Thom Yorke’s head on the the bodies of shrugging 8 year old girls. Here’s some music. Yorke FTW!

Thanks for linking and understanding my bit of frustration!
