Where's physicsgenius? PG needs to state how much it loves this song to put everyone off-kilter. Just googled "off kilter" and found that it's a Celtic Rock Band. Coincidence? Radiohead/off kilter/celtic rock
I happen to like this song but unless it's a Jefferson Airplane ditty I'll pretty much enjoy it.


You know I saw Off Kilter play at Epcot in FL and while some things were typical of that kind of music, you couldn't deny the energy they were getting out of people. (Which is hard to do when people are walking around an amusement park and just happen to walk by your stage. ^_^)

There are a couple tracks on this album that made me ask "What was he thinking; This is terrible!" This song included, there may be 3 songs I liked.

I bought it strictly because I'm a huge Radiohead fan. I was terribly disappointed.

I can. It's that lame Yessian syncopation. It just plain doesn't work against his voice, and I don't think his singing is horrible, but it is very dissonant with the musical concept. Bad idea.

Tell when Thom isn't creepy? Give me a creepy Thom and I am happy. Don't know why. It's just great music.

I fall into the latter group. Keep opening my eyes RP.

Everything's off balance. Probably deliberately. I like to hear at least a couple of things that keep a song grounded.

Yup. It's a joke song. The joke is on the people who like it, not realizing they're supposed to laugh. Bitterly.
