I'm still not totally convinced that Radiohead is the best band ever, but after hearing so much about how this album was more accessible, more like the 'old' Radiohead, I decided to give it a try. It didn't take. Still couldn't get into it. After being asked for the 100 millionth time why I didn't like Radiohead I decided give it one more try. Jen suggested 'Reckoner'. I played it, let the CD go and have slowly come around on it. I'm thinking that maybe the complexity of the sounds was probably something that really threw me off - much like it took me a little while to come around of Broken Social Scene's self titled, and Patrick Watson's Close to Paradise. Maybe this is a lesson in patience. Or that I need to succumb to peer pressure more often. Are you all happy now!
In case you haven't seen it. 'Reckoner' from Radiohead's 11/9/2007 webcast.
