Radiohead have just about made this epic claustrophobic sound all their own, and this the first single, taken from upcoming album Amnesiac, does indeed mix the pop grandeur of OK Computer with the faux experimentalism of Kid A. A stark lurching piano gives way to offbeat drums and whirring strained strings. Frankly, it's very difficult to see these experienced campaigners putting out a bad record ever again.
