Hell the whole thing kinda sounds the same. Or similar. Kinda.

It sticks with the themes of the album, and theres nothing wrong wit the guitar. Its not so much more guitar driven than say Paranoid Android with its blasts of guitar solos, or say Lucky.

Hell every album ever sounds relatively the same with every track, youre not gonna find a bluegrass track then a ganagsta rap sound on the next track.

Maybe not, but when I do, we can truly tell ourselves we have evolved in music.

I'm sorry but thats bullsh!t. Electioneering is a pivotal track on the album, by far one of the best songs. Fitter Happier is filler. I rate Ok Computer a lot (although not as much as others), but it dooes have some filler... as all Radiohead albums do

Are you referring to Radiohead's discography or music in general with this? Because either way i disagree with you completely

When I made this statement, I also meant that it's mostly acoustic guitar and whatever else is on the track. Not all albums are so consistent with a particular sound.

Just my opinion

You just gained 10 cool points. I kinda like dollars and cents though.
