"They all became part of the river. It was the goal of all of them, yearning, desiring, suffering; and the river's voice was full of longing, full of smarting woe, full of insatiable desire. The river flowed on towards to it's goal. Siddartha saw the river hasten, made up of himself and his relatives and all the people he had ever seen. All the waves and water hastened, suffering, towards goals, many goals, to the waterfall, to the sea, to the current, to the ocean and all the goals were reached and each one was succeeded by another. The water changed to vapour and rose, became rain and came down again, became spring, brook and river, changed anew, flowed anew. But the yearning voice had altered. It still echoed sorrowfully, searchingly but other voices accompanied it, voices of pleasure and sorrow, good and evil voices, laughing and lamenting voices, hundreds of voices, thousands of voices............."
Siddartha

Rated 5/5
Review by Mr-Self-Destruct May 18, 2004
Radiohead came in for a lot of criticism when they went to an electronic sound for Kid A and Amnesiac(which were recorded at the same time)but I find it an improvement.
This is a mix of electronic stuff and more guitar-based songs.
Favourites include:
Pyramid Song- a dark,piano-driven track backed by rising strings and Thom's melancholic vocals.
Spinning Plates- the highlight.A swelling electronic riff is joined by Thom's distorted vocals and some bass and guitar.Eerie.
Life in a Glasshouse- a pretty straightforward piano and guitar song apart from a backing of trumpets and other jazz instruments.
