I'm not trying to debase your personal opinion, I just fail to see how it's monotonous or lifeless... There's so much going on in those 50-odd minutes, Paranoid Android in itself comprises of about three different songs in 6 minutes!

It has a schizophrenic, somewhat unhinged quality that perfectly conveyed the paranoia prevalent in British society as it edged ever closer to the millennium. It's a commentary on humanity and it's relationship with capitalism, technology and death, which for me makes it an engrossing listen.

I'm not accusing you of this at all, but I do feel as if some people give it raw deal because they resent the adulation it has received, it's just too 'mainstream' and 'conventional' for Radiohead fans. It's a shame, because I think it's an album that oozes quality.
