I just finished listening to a RealAudio stream of the while album, and I
dunno if I'd call it the "best electronica album of the year", but it's
pretty damn close. Looks like the band let Thom Yorke's love of IDM really
influence the songwriting and recording, and the result is pretty fucking
impressive indeed. This record is miles removed from "OK Computer" (which
I also liked, but for totally different reasons), and as Mark says...

Oh, I can hardly wait! And I also don't plan on rushing down to the record
shop to buy a copy on the day of release, 'cause I know if I wait a day or
two, there'll be a good number of them hitting the shelves of the used
shops. :)

Kids already listen to "electronica" - y'know, Moby and Fatboy Slim and
that sort of thing. Heh.
