Such 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
-
'I Might Be Wrong' is Radiohead trashing the notion that 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' were difficult and sterile studio bound affairs.
-
MixerIt's amazing that a band renowned for studio wizardry can succeed at duplicating, much less eclipsing, its magic onstage. [Jan 2002, p.76]
-
These eight tracks positively bristle with energy and exuberance.
-
Q MagazineIts charms are bound up with the subtle pleasures of listening to these songs anew and re-understanding their make-up. [#184, p.127]
-
While some moments are absolutely stellar, I Might Be Wrong is only a shadow of what a Radiohead live album could have been.
-
'I Might Be Wrong' sounds significantly better than both of the studio albums that spawned it.
-
BlenderFar from the usual collision of greatest hits and "Hello, Cleveland"-type bluster. [#4, p.122]
-
UncutA vague air of missed opportunity hangs over this frustratingly short snapshot. [Dec 2001, p.124]
-
Entertainment WeeklyWhy limit this disc to just 40 minutes? [7 Dec 2001, p.105]
-
This album contains just eight tracks--but each one of them is a testament to the unshakable power of the group.
-
MojoIt'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]
-
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”).
-
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.
-
An uneven and incoherent set of "Kid A Sessions" material that is sometimes strong but sometimes uninspired.
