Radiohead play 93 Feet East

Listen to full tracks now. Users outside the UK can hear 30-second clips of each song.

Or the one that, according to Thom Yorke, “sounds like that new Australian band Wolfmother”. Post the whole ‘‘they’re revolutionising the music industry!’ business, there’s something quite rubbish about Radiohead releasing something as orthodox as a single for radio, rather than a pill available only in exchange for your certificate of carbon footprint reduction. What’s the use of a revolution if its impact isn’t sustained, eh?

What? Is this a joke? have you actually listened to the track at all as you seem to have forgotten to put your opinion in the review? Your obviously a great journalist Hamish hope you got paid a lot for this piece of 'work'.

Really talking about the politics instead of the song. Top notch reviewing there :/ Could've mentioned the drifting riffs and intoxicating lyrics and such and such but no, let's talk about the all exciting carbon footprint.

Might be interesting if I knew what the hell you're waffling on about, so what's the song like?

Of course he's listened to the fucking song - everyone has, its free! Spot on Hamish, Radiohead are talented, but charisma-free arseholes. Judging by the comments here, the latter can also be applied to their fans.

This is a terribly unhelpful single review, however, much as I hate to say it, I pretty much agree with the 5/10 grade. The track's interetsing enough in an album context but, to me, it's not single material. By far the weakest Radiohead have ever released.

I have to disagree with siamesecollie, as this is one of their best in ages in terms of rock and roll. Admittedly bias because i love radiohead but this is a great track and the bridge is awesome, cant help but tap my feet!! and as for this review well i havent got a clue!
