Rolling Stone (6/21/01, pp.74-5) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Clear proof that the progressive-rock impulse survived the 20th century....full of computerized clicks and hums...and of instruments and voices so heavily filtered they sound alienated even from themselves....It's like ZZ Top kidnapped by Autechre..."
Spin (7/01, pp.123-4) - 7 out of 10 - "...Lullabies for the compressed present...abandoning verse-chorus-verse motion to let the tracks just roll out, like bolts of cloth..."
Q Magazine (7/01, p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Similarly shy, textural and embroidered by electronica, but where it differs vitally from KID A is in being 1) better balanced, 2) more emotionally intelligible and 3) even more grimly beautiful..."
Vibe (8/01, p.160) - 4 discs out of 5 - "...Populated with skittish techno beats, water-damaged samples and the kind of vocal mastery you would hear from a wounded donkey....If genuises are slightly mad, then Radiohead is stark, raving bonkers..."
The Wire (6/01, p.52) - "...It works for as long as you can keep other - weighted, braver, graver - examples or exemplars out of your mind, The moment you summon Jeff Buckley or John Cale, PiL or Can, Talk Talk or David Sylvian, the spell is broken..."
Alternative Press (7/01, p.79) - 9 out of 10 - "...Quintessentially Radiohead, full of existential rock songs powered by Yorke's delicate, aching, soaring vocals..."
Mojo (7/01, p.104) - "...Deliriously provocative....as splendidly other and awkward as its sister album [KID A]..."
NME (6/2/01, p.37) - 8 out of 10 - "...It complements KID A beautifully....the jazz spasms and electronic pulsings, the chill blood, and most of all, the chronic hypersensitivity to the world outside..."
CMJ (6/4/01, p.5) - "...Another adventuresome, aloof, non-rock joint that's more an album of concepts than a concept album..."

スルメ作品過ぎてRadiohead初聴には間違いなくキツイ。 Pyramid SongやLife in a Glasshouseが素晴らしい。鳥肌モン。

おそらくRadioheadの中でも、最も聴きにくいアルバムでしょう。Radioheadを聴きこんでいない方は、何がなんだかわからなくて聴きたくないと思われるかもしれません。しかし、「Radioheadってどんな感じ?」と聴かれると、このアルバムを勧めます。個人的に、このアルバムが一番Radioheadさが出ていると思うからです。変拍子に不思議な電子音、不協和音などの繰り返しで、脳がえぐられる感覚。癖になります。

出た当初は…『KID Aのアウトテイク集ね…』的なとらえ方だったんですが…いやいやなかなかどうして…これはKID Aより深いですよ!よりスルメ度が高いのはこちら!M3のエレクトロニカチューンなんて最高!!音圧が凄い…曲がバラエティに富んでて飽きませんね…以外にKID Aの陰に隠れがちですが…名盤です!これ!
