I guess this song isnt for everybody; but count me in, I like it.

I still say this is the ideal music to kill yourself by.

Should you be so inclined.

Please don't. I was only kidding.
Geeze.

Great CD Cover art. Boring song.

Nope. I just don't get it.

depressing the music isn't bad so much as I think the singer is on ludes with a hangover.

i love this song so much.

To me, this is Radiohead's best album. I still listen to it every so often and think, "wow, that is an awesome piece of work."

It encompasses the best of their previous efforts, with the full-on, thrashing indie rock, but it has tinges of their more experimental side, which became much more prevalent in their later albums - this is their last album which I can just sit and listen to all the way through, and enjoy doing so (minimal thought required to 'decode' the music, like with their most recent albums) but it has a little more intelligence imbued into its soul than their older, rawer albums.

I dunno, I guess I just feel that this is their 'perfect' work - it encapsulates their attitude, their style, and a few of the songs are verging on the sublime. My favourite Radiohead album, hands down.

Still trying to figure out the hype...I keep hearing how they're the new "Pink Floyd". I get the atmospheric vibe they have..but I just can't groove on any of it yet...This tune is pretty meandering...Maybe I need weed?

Does anyone else think this sounds like it could be a Cowboy Junkies song? Consider the bit at the beginning, then take out Thom's voice and put in Margo Timmins.

That voice... it just hurts my ears most of the time.

Mmmmmm Radiohead....

and now Radiohead - Idioteque after this and we'll be okay.

SECONDED!! This song is easily one of my favs, particularly if you listen to the lyrics and read the background on the song. Jonny, the writer of the song, was in a beautiful square in France on a sunny day, and watching all theses American tourists being wheeled around, frantically trying to see everything in 10 minutes. Jonny was shocked at how these people could be in a place so beautiful and so special and not realize it because they weren't taking the time to just stop and look around. Thus the refrain "Hey man, slow down, slow down; idiot, slow down, slow down." Poetic, no?

Wow.

I've never heard this song before, I own a few of their albums but never got round to buying OK,

I love Thom's voice when he HOOOOOOLDS the notes.

A 9 from me.

I can understand if it isn't your cup of tea.

But I love Thom's voice. And I appreciate hearing anything by Radiohead on RP. it makes my day.

unnecessarily bombastic production. Doesn't help the plodding or vocals much. Nice guitar work though.

god we had such a good break from these whiners, now they are back. you're fvcking millionaires! - STFU!
