That two albums are a band's 'strongest and most moving work' does actually imply that the band's other albums are inferior by comparison. Just thought I'd point out.

I should probably add to that, that anybody who thinks that either HttF or Amnesiac are in any measure better than OK Computer is clearly afflicted with lunacy and should get their nerve endings checked out.

Still was rather harsh, no? People are entitled to their opinions. It's not like it's a claim that can be proven wrong; music is about personal taste ultimately. Just because an album is generally liked more by the consensus, doesn't mean everyone has to like it more.

Only one of us is nearly image conscious to be bothered by that.

Three Radiohead videos to premiere on Myspace | News | NME.COM

I dont really like their fan made videos, I found the video for Reckoner to be boring.

I liked the Reckoner one, but I thought the Weird Fishes one was pretty boring. I think its cool how Radiohead is letting their fans become so involved with everything.
