Q101 has been playing a bunch of the songs over the past couple days, and has a poll on their website for people to pick their favorite, which they say they'll add into their regular rotation.

to be very high fidelity about it...isn't the line "this is the 21st century" in the bridge of bodysnatchers and not in jigsaw?

you can be
and are
wrong.

ummm.

dangit. yer right. I really miss having artwork and lyrics, cuz i like to look at them as I listen to the cd the first few times (if its of a band i really like) to get a better feel for the album.

So yeah - bodysnatchers.

I finally got a chance to listen to most of it today. I agree that the strings sound incredible! I will get a chance to listen again tomorrow during my hour-long round-trip commute to work. Right now, anything I say will fall into the "I like this, it is good" category.

I listened to it all day when it came out, on the plane out to California, in California, on the plane from California, and this morning when I got into work. I REALLY like it. I think the songs are accessible, but still not overly friendly or poppy. But I guess that's Radiohead's way - because The Bends isn't really all that "poppy" either... kind of, and moreso that say Kid A, but they always have those few songs that can connect with most people, but I love how this album progresses. It seems to make sense, at least to me. And the strings are definitely great.
