Pink Floyd Bracket: There There (3) v. Dollars and Cents (14)

There There. (The Boney King of Nowhere.)

Hail to the Thief (3) While this song might have fit the mantle of Radiohead's "return to rock," it also confirms that Radiohead has reached the point of no return. Nothing rock-like tackled (even sans electronics) post-OK Computer seems unaffected by the band's new trajectory. They like where they're at. Stop asking them to come back.


VS

Dollars and Cents

Amnesiac (14) This song is the best kind of interlude - one that you don't skip over. It doesn't seem fully formed, but its patient calm makes up for that.

First, off isn't D & C on Amnesiac? Second, I think this is a pretty underrated little guy, and the only one to be overtly krautrock influenced, owing alot to Can. Hard to pull off, but they do good.
