Radiohead

Considering the anticipation that has been attached to the new Radiohead material, for those of us who haven’t been bothered to download it already, the new single ‘There There’ is a disappointment. Thom York’s signature whine saves the song from sounding like a Talking Heads cover of an Oasis song, but ultimately that seems the more attractive concept. You simply can’t decipher what the hell he’s droning on about; York is almost becoming a self-parody. ‘There There’ lacks any identity as a song, and sounds distressingly like a filler. One interesting chord-change is not enough to hide the fact that this song is thoroughly dull.
