Pompous, whiney, millionaire rockstar twat whinges about the shallowness of fame. And then goes on to sell more records than ever before. Then makes rather good album on which most of the lyrics are submerged in the production to the point of virtual inaudibility (which is never a bad thing in Radiohead's case). Then reverts to type and band becomes boring again. Sack the singer ferfecksake! The world doesn't need another Roger Waters.
i think this record is more reprehensible for what it inspired: the kind of populist middle class white boy/bed wetting formula of coldplay/muse/keane that in the past few years has sold by the bucketload from sainsburys/asda/tescos. I assume by rather good album you are referring to Kid A? Thats the only one I own and is pretty sublime in places esp 'How To Disappear' with its beautiful muted trumpet parts
