electronica? hmm i would go post-pop (a la post-rock heh heh), if
anything. and from what i've heard, both from myself and from people who
are more into radiohead than, say, autechre, if you like autechre, you'll
think this album is pretty boring.

i think that it's a very good mainstream release, because it is new - from
a mainstream POV. and i get the feeling that most reviews are going to be
favorable, simply because there is a surprisingly high amount of people in
the music *industry* with a softspot for radiohead.

well, if my experience with radiohead fans is worth anything, it will
likely just make them waiting in anticipation for the next radiohead album.
most people who follow bands devoutly don't branch out within the genre -
they simply wait for their fav. bands to release more albums/eps and make
fan-pages.
