From Derek in White Bear Lake..

"I'm not going to lie, i've been listening to it since I woke up this morning. It's not really that I'm that huge a Radiohead fan, I just hardly ever buy new albums anymore and it's fun to feel like you're hearing something brand new. It seems like more of a return to the melodic roots, which I love. I totally respected their "eccentric artist" phase but it's nice to have an album you can sit down and listen to."
