Divad23's review of Amnesiac is pure gold. Definitely a clever fellow, aspiring critics sit back and take notes.

Just listened to "The Bends" for the first time the other day, as a matter of fact. I did kind of a weird thing in starting from the present and going backwards. If I had liked Radiohead back in those days, I'd be really ticked off now, because they rocked!

This review is cool. Not only that, you made interesting parts and I'm not the only one who thinks that this album was a bit blunder material. Kid A, OK Computer, and The Bends were all better by far. The debut was, but not by far.

I love Radiohead but they do cross the line sometimes. I find Kid A and Amnesiac interesting but I'd lying to say I don't miss their old Bends days. Anyway, an excellent and creative epinion. Good work!

This review rocks!!! (Reply to this comment)

... I keep telling people that if they play Like Spinning Plates the right way round, they hear Thom asking "Let me out". Straight up! I reversed it when I got bored revising... Also, You And Whose Army is an attack on Tony Blair. By Thursdays election result, I'd say actually has quite a big army, but I like Yorkes reasoning...

As I say, this review rocks and makes for a great critique of the album, using clever and innovative writing techniques. I salute you...

Well, I'd say you'd have one of the most innovative and stimulating reviews I've read on a site full of thoughtless, temporal teenage tripe. It's a pain in the watusi (epinions x'd out a_s_s) to read at times, but who said art should be easy? Part of me thinks you're trying to alienate your fans (of whom I am now one) by writing a whole paragraph backwards, but most of me thinks that you did it because you wanted to try something out that no one else around here has the nuts or the brains to try, not worrying whether or not everyone will like it or anyone will understand it but just playing around, because it engages you to create.......

Or, in other words, although I disagree with about half of what you said, this is a truly great review.
