what do people think about the last line, that httt will not have an impact on rock in general. i tend to agree there. actually you could expand httt to radiohead themselves and i would agree as well...

i mean, that's what the grammar is saying, and that's what the piece as a whole is saying: he's countering the argt that they are merely unfunky white-brit blah blah by saying EVEN GRANTED ALL THIS there is something going on here

"But no matter who's right, if anyone is, the future of Hail to the Thief is unlikely to have much bearing on the future of rock or anything else."
suggest that there is NOTHING going on there?

he could be calling h.t.t.t. a world-historical masterpiece but the piece still irks in spots.

I think what convinces me he is saying this is that if he is not, why even bring it up? At least lead rock vocalists aspiring to some kind of soul ambitions is a time-honored tradition (if not something I'm really looking for as a criterion) -- but, does anyone care that Thom Yorke doesn't have the "sound of Africa" in his voice? If Christgau is going to compare all of the music he reviews to African music, how am I supposed to ever know what he's talking about (given my admittedly ignorant experience with African music)?

What's with that "Radiohead are no Nirvana range-wise" line? WTF, has he ever listened to either band?
I think he's saying exactly the opposite of what someone would normally mean with that sentence (ie, Radiohead has a wider musical range than Nirvana).

james i think "tune" is not to the point here: the sound r'head make if you screen out yorke has a wide sonic and emotional range is what i'm saying
i don't know the names of hardly any of their songs so i can't back this up with a graph sadly

Oddly enough, Myxomatosis has elements in common with some African folkloric music in that it basically feels like a triple meter and a duple meter at the same time (two speeds of duple time really, since it has that 2:3 polyrhythm going through it).

in fact, if you do a GIS, you can find a lovely pic of him with a roll of toilet paper on his head.
this leads me to believe that the japanese are the greatest people on the planet, except for that whole "gang-rape as a popular fixture of hentai anime/porn" thing.
