#852 Radiohead - Com Lag: 2 + 2 = 5

A messy collection of remixes, live tracks, and meandering experimental pieces, light on guitars and heavy on dissonance and distorted vocals. The songs are mostly sub-Amnesiac electronic skitterers, with a few stripped-down alone-with-Thom ballads peppered in. Only I Am a Wicked Child sounds anything like a rock and roll song, even that sounds like a song off Hail to the Thief (not a complement), its bluesy harmonic touches notwithstanding. It's all pretty bloodless, with no album-level cohesion at all - as an odds and ends collection, its no Airbag / How Am I Driving 2.5/5
