Myxomatosis sounds quite good at the start but doesn't really do anything. I can't really defend it.
I'm a big fan of Backdrifts.
But still, you picked out 3 of 14 tracks. I would kill to hear my favorite bands make awesome songs 78% of the time. HTTT gets too much hate and their first two albums get way too much love.

I don't say HttT is a **** album, I just think they couldn't really keep the level top-notch all the time. More examples:
Scatterbrain is just another Radiohead lullaby. It's not bad, but pretty underwhelming as it barely has anythign to add to the album.
Sail to the Moon has some amazing instrumentals, but these cheesy lyrics are cringeworthy.
Backdrifts has grown on me some more since I heard it first, but it's still not *that* good.
Oh, on an unrelated note:
