Sounds too much like some of their other work.

There's not exactly a lot of innovation in rock and roll these days, I hate to say. I've pretty much stopped listening to it for the most part.

But I'll listen to Radiohead any time. It's complex and different, but still rock. Their basement sessions from a bit ago are just awesome.

Check the complexity of the drum part and the way they layer sounds in and build tension. Still stunning, years later and I hear something new in it every single time.

This is from In Rainbows, an album they gave away with a "pay what you think it's worth" price instead of dealing with a record company.

If one likes Yes, Rush or any of the prog rock bands, this is their spiritual heir, working something new with all the new forms of music that have appeared between the kind of end of rock in the 80s and where we are now.

Edited to add: If you want to watch them pay all of In Rainbows, you can watch it here:

It's about an hour.
