Radiohead, “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi”

To my own amazement, there is something in the last Radiohead (free) album that is actually interesting. “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” is their first song with more to it than some kind of weak lament covered by what I consider to be poor arrangements.

Funnily enough, the last track on the last Chemical Brothers, “The Pills won't Help you Now,” comes with an identical development in its rhythmics (well, at least in my twisted vision of the matter).

Precisions:
  1. Yes, “paying what you like” means “free” to me, they still owe me for their previous overpriced records.
  2. Yes, I do consider the full Radiohead career to have been less inventive than the first fourteen notes from King Crimson's “Starless.”
  3. Wow, that's my first “plain rock” post!
