    I have been a mad Radiohead fan since the release of The Bends, this is the first Radiohead CD that has disappointed me. The great live versions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits are almost worth the money on their own for Radiohead fanatics, but the other 6 tracks are nothing special, I prefer the album versions.

The main reason I rate this so lowly is that it's such a missed opportunity. I have a hard disk full of bootleg Radiohead MP3s of their various live and unreleased tracks. There are dozens that I think are much better than the tracks on I Might Be Wrong. The live version of National Anthem Radiohead used is one of the least interesting I have heard. Only putting 8 tracks on the CD doesn't seem very generous when you consider how many great Radiohead recordings are around. If there were a few more unreleased tracks, b-sides, or maybe some live versions of OK Computer songs then I would have given this a much higher rating.… Expand

    I don't really understand the hype. They're a great live band and you should see them if you get the chance. The recording is really muffled and distorted, sounds nothing like they do live. However, it's worth the purchase for the song "True Love Waits" which is a great great song.

    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.
