Example, Up The Ladder, who really wants to hear "I Might Be Wrong" again, it wasn't all that good 6 years ago. Four Minute Warning and Down is the New Up are decent, but nowhere near the quality on CD1, basically pretty good B-sides. The rest of the songs don't even add up to good B sides. Radiohead have put out some execellent b-sides in their career (Life, Fog, Worrywort) but these are not even that good, most fizzle out without any build up or production at all.

I have to say this: POOR. Honestly, I didn't like the CD1 so much, except for two or three songs (Faust Arp is amazing, Jigsaw too). But CD2 is terrible. Felt like the songs are soooo long and unsurprising. And sadly I think that's because most of the songs on this record are just bad. I respect all others who liked IR, I think the production is good. And it's ok: Nigel wanted instruments to sound with presence and Thom's voice in front. But the level of songs is just low. "Last flowers" and DITNU should last 1 minute less, "4 min warning" arrangement sucks (not to mention "Reckoner", just horrible). I could go on but the idea is: they wanted to re invent their sounding and they did it well, but for a listener who has gone through Kid A and Amnesiac, this is just not challenging at all. End.

They bring so much joy to my soul and my heart. Thank you Radiohead for coming to my rescue. I found so much joy from the band ever since I was in my friend Chris's room and heard Creep on KROQ in California for the first time. So many smiles and tears this band has brought to my soul. Thank The Lord Jesus for giving me ears and for Radiohead. I am blessed to have such a creative and talented band in my era as Radiohead. They bring so much joy to my soul and my heart.

I had been waiting excitedly for it ever since I heard the "cutting room floor" piece. And I was curious to see if they'd keep the high-pitch thing (they did!). Last Flowers kinda sounds like his brother's band (Andy Yorke, Unbelievable Truth). Bangers & Mash, a song I didn't like too much from the live or cutting floor versions, has gotten a lot funner to listen to! And I hate to say this, but I was REALLY looking forward to 4 Minute Warning (from hearing the live recording) and was quite disappointed. The 1st minute is just "in the way" to me, and the beginning vocals don't sound right at all (VERY quiet). And they fade in awkwardly. It sounds poorly mastered. Also, they replaced the piano with... I have no clue. Some strange synth or amp. Down Is The New Up is quite good! I had been waiting excitedly for it ever since I heard the “cutting room floor” piece.

They're great, but I do miss the ending of up on the ladder. Otherwise awesome, I especially like "go slowly". You can listen to the songs on youtube.
