Said by a band member to be a far sunnier recording process than what produced the arctic and emotionally sanitized \u003cem\u003eKid A\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAmnesiac\u003c\/em\u003e albums, this record was recorded with longtime collaborating producer \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/search?q=nigel+godrich\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNigel Godrich\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in Los Angeles and Oxford. Although the band apparently has become more comfortable with the critical attention and the width of musical avenues they've traversed in their career, this record confirms that they haven't let superstardom pacify their dissatisfaction with big business government. Yet, Thom Yorke's penchant for extended syllables delivers his restless message on the strength of melody and does not low ball you in an over articulated, collegiate fashion. It's almost as if this refusal to stop being tortured validates all previous lyrical parlays \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/search?q=radiohead\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadiohead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e have recorded for the world to hear?

Where's the toss off disco record? The later career, cringe\/ wretch cameos? The officially sanctioned dancehall\/drum n bass\/house remixes? Perhaps their crowning achievement will be sustained hunger for a new voice, voices they're able to cultivate because of actual talent. \"2+2=5\" is the hard evidence I sight, with a \u003cem\u003eThe Bends\u003c\/em\u003e era explosion transitioning seam fully into a manic, strummy, rock combo directness. The album's conclusion, \"A Wolf at the Door\" combines echoes of \u003cstrong\u003eTim Buckley\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Joel's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"We didn't start the fire\" and the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/search?q=beatles\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBeatles\u003c\/a\u003e'\u003c\/strong\u003e \"I want you (she's so heavy)\", and yet delivers on the wings of trademark Radiohead keyboard swells.
