Query: The Meandering Thom

There are a few shining moments on this CD but as of the last couple of years, Mr. Yorke and company have veered so far away from what they are truly good at: writing good songs. While I appreciate the detours this band has taken to broaden their sound, it's depressing to see a band this great forge ahead in such aimless ways. Mr. Yorke compounds the problem here. Some good songs but overall this CD is a bore. Nobody is asking him or them to duplicate The Bends or OK Computer, but this isn't working in the slightest any more and one would seem to think that they would want to get back and just write some good songs. Not everything in the world is disaffected and disassociated and Radiohead and Mr. Yorke seem hellbent on staying in that very rut.
