"Not many lyricists would adopt the voice of a Third World town in thrall to a neo-imperialist multinational. But Thom was about to prove that he wasn't like many lyricists. Marking his first foray beyond misfit introspection, he appears to draw on Gabriel Garcia Marquez' magic realist classic 'One Hundred Years Of Solitude.'
The moment When Thom leaps into falsetto (at the ends of the lines "everything's underground, we gotta dig it up somehow") against Jonny's spidery, guitar line is a great Radiohead moment- skilfully inferring, once again, something is very wrong."
