I just think the sounds are really old and boring. For someone who's meant to be so 'innovative' Yorke really doesn't make much of an effort - and when he does, he's just nicking ideas from other people. People give him too much credit because he's a rock musician being 'different'. I don't know why people would listen to average behind the times lo-fi electronica from him, when they can listen to progressive stuff. I don't know, it's like ordering a steak in Brassarie na Mara. |

If you're not familiar with lo-fi electronica though you won't know that it's behind the times, you'll just judge it on it's merits and not in the pantheon of the wider genre.
For the most part I can't stand the music made by Richard James under his various guises who some people have cited as an influence on Yorke but I like this. |

For someone who likes Muse, who blatantly rip off Radiohead I'm somewhat puzzled accusing Yorke of ripping people off.

It's definitely a grower, although tracks like 'analyse' and 'harrowdown hill' appeal straight from the off
for me, it's yorke's voice which lifts it out of the ordinary
was very surpised to see it amongst the mercury nominations though

Unicron rip arms off Matt Bellemy so that he can't make music anymore? Only in my dreams. |

Seriously, everytime I heard the sreeching of Muse it just reminds me of Radiohead. Several friends have said the same. |

him. Well both bands feature people. so yes! they are the same.
The only similarity between them is probably that occasionally, they hit the same genre. Bellamy's voice is far superior to Yorke's recent slurring.

Bellamy has a great voice, no question and he hits some obscenely high notes but I prefer Yorke's vocals, there's an expressiveness there which very few other singers can match, even on The Eraser (after a few listens - seriously, it gets better!)
I've been listening to Radiohead's live album lately and Yorke's voice is just incredible, especially on the simpler tracks like the gorgeous acoustic 'True Love Waits'

Muse were compared to Radiohead when Showbiz came out but I thought they quickly escaped from that comparison especially when they started going in their prog direction with Origin of Symmetry (tracks like Space Dementia, Micro cuts and Citizen Erased are nothing like radiohead even in their most avante gard of attempts at being 'out there'). By now that comparison is a bit out dated if you ask me mostly because both bands sound nothing similar |
