I always feel like I am being unfair on HTTT because there's some very strong tracks on there.

'the bends' isn't even that bad, it's a little dated and unsubtle but there's some great tracks on there...

It's hit and miss but definitely better than The Bends.

Werd. It does feel horribly dated.

It's a good album but most of their albums are better.

Bullet Proof... I wish I was is good and some of the B-sides to come out of the recording session give you the first hints of Kid A's beginnings but it is very much a product of it's time; as was Pablo Honey. I don't think The Bends is a bad album it's just a transitional record, the build up to OK Computer which shit on every prog rock album since Pink Floyd were king.

While we're at it:

1. Amnesiac
2. Ok Computer
3. Kid A
3. The Bends (Kid A and The Bends are tied)
5. Hail To The Thief
6. Pablo Honey
7. In Rainbows

Haven't heard the new one yet.

HTTT has a good tune or two. Pablo Honey isn't that good, but at least it's memorable and thus ahead of In Rainbows. Kid A is slightly overrated and compared to their critically highly rated records, The Bends is pretty underrated. Britty pop songs that are totally from the mid '90s? Hellz yes, but executed with very good songwriting.

i literally can't understand why you don't like 'in rainbows'. how many times did you listen to it?

Loving The King of Limbs. Seriously goood. Coherent and every track is perfect. Morning Mr. Magpie is maybe the only very slight weak point imo and thats saying something cos its a great track.

Bloom, Fera, Lotus Flower and Codex are my favorites atm.

Quite a number of times, but after a while I just couldn't sit through it anymore. Always felt like just putting something else on which I eventually did.

Surprised to see Amnesiac get this much love. I mean, it's my favorite, but I've often been the lone wolf for prefering it.

Same. All my mates say Kid A, OK Computer or In Rainbows.
