I guess since people have such high expectations of the band that anything less than a perfect 10 is "mediocre".

Give them a break, nobody can recreate the same success of that one album over and over again, it's a great album, I hate when people always have to compare a band's album to their previous work instead of just judging the album on it's own.
If you look at how I originally defined mediocre I didn't define it as 'Bad' I defined it as something that doesn't move me enough to reach a decision on whether it's good or bad.

And that's exactly how I feel about In Rainbows. It's nothing i've not heard Radiohead do already and to be honest I found it boring. For the past 2 albums I feel radiohead have found a sound & they're sticking to it. Thom Yorke's solo album had pretty much the same sound too. I've heard them do the same thing 3 times now and it's getting boring. And for a band that was known for being one of the most progressive rock bands of the last decade or so that's a concern.

Sorry Radiohead fanboys , In Rainbows bored me.
