100This album contains just eight tracks--but each one of them is a testament to the unshakable power of the group.
-
90These eight tracks positively bristle with energy and exuberance.
-
Why limit this disc to just 40 minutes? [7 Dec 2001, p.105]
-
80It's amazing that a band renowned for studio wizardry can succeed at duplicating, much less eclipsing, its magic onstage. [Jan 2002, p.76]
-
'I Might Be Wrong' sounds significantly better than both of the studio albums that spawned it.
-
80While some moments are absolutely stellar, I Might Be Wrong is only a shadow of what a Radiohead live album could have been.
-
80Far from the usual collision of greatest hits and "Hello, Cleveland"-type bluster. [#4, p.122]
-
80Its charms are bound up with the subtle pleasures of listening to these songs anew and re-understanding their make-up. [#184, p.127]
-
If their recent studio work has been distinguished by additive, layer-by-layer composition, in concert Radiohead's magic comes from subtraction: The elegy "Like Spinning Plates" relies almost entirely on Yorke's famously anguished voice.
-
80'I Might Be Wrong' is Radiohead trashing the notion that 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' were difficult and sterile studio bound affairs.
-
Sounds how Radiohead should sound live: brutal (the cacophonous sample layering in “Everything in its Right Place”), catchy (the bass line of “I Might Be Wrong”), danceable (the beats on “Idioteque”) and mesmerizing (the simplicity of “True Love Waits”).
-
70Such uniformly dark material makes one long for a tune or two to lighten the vibe.
-
Though marred by characteristically unrevealing packaging and inexplicable brevity, I Might Be Wrong casts new light on the band's much-examined recent material
-
60A vague air of missed opportunity hangs over this frustratingly short snapshot. [Dec 2001, p.124]
-
An uneven and incoherent set of "Kid A Sessions" material that is sometimes strong but sometimes uninspired.
-
40It's a puzzler.... Given brilliant execution, no doubt we'd still have come out with out hands up. Instead, it's patchy and the worst comes first. [Dec 2001, p.114]
