Awesome EP,
By "kurdtkobain345" (Hopkins, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airbag/How Am I Driving (Audio CD)
I picked this up new at a record store last month for 8 Bucks. after nearly dying at how cheap it was i listened to it and was generally amazed. the songs are great and most of them are better then the stuff they actually did put on OK Computor. Palo Alto stands out from the rest by far proving to be one of my personal favorite Radiohead tracks.

Some tracks R even better than some OK COMPUTER cuts!,
By Rich Latta (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airbag/How Am I Driving (Audio CD)
Radiohead have put out an astonishing number of grade-A non-album tracks. They could be pooled together to make one incredible (double) album. This mini album contains some of their best ever in my view. Features some anguished and soaring vocals by T. Yorke."Airbag" is a bizarre yet stunningly gorgeous song loaded with shimmering guitar, a quirky funk beat and who-knows-what-all kinds of electronics. It portrays the rush you would feel having survived a major collision thanks to an airbag. Ostensibly a single in this format, it is also the brilliantly uplifting opening track on OK COMPUTER (widely held to be their masterpiece). ***** "Pearly" - Garage-y guitars plus some spacey ones define this sort of underground sounding tune drenched in anguish. ****1/2 "Meeting In The Aisle" - like the swimming mirage you see while looking down the dark corridor of a building towards a sunlit doorway. Totally spaced-out. ***** "A Reminder" - seems to disengage itself from the reality of a crowded room for some fleeting, deeply felt moment. One of their best. ***** "Polythylene (parts 1 &2)" - Part 1 is a melancholy intro picked on acoustic guitar and sung beautifully by Yorke. Part 2 is intensely dramatic. Seems to portray the hopeless inevitability of modern life spinning out of control. Even Yorke's vocals seem to waver out of control yet they still maintain his characteristic artistic perfection. ***** "Melatonin" - a sterile, almost sickly lullaby washed in synths as a rhythm section plugs along like a wind-up toy. *** "Palo Alto" - Wildly brilliant Faustian (as in the band) guitar delivery plus a few crunching power chords blast away the grind from "a city of the future." One of their greatest, most off the hook guitar songs. ***** Radiohead-heads who collect their singles and EPs reap some of the greatest rewards! An aside: The packaging is notable for its rather mocking "questionaire" and 2 short-short stories which are like desperate little slices from an unsatisfied life. In addition, the quote from Noam Chomsky's THE CHOMSKY READER reveals a great deal about the perspective behind some of Radiohead's observations about modern life.

Awesome,
By Blackberries (PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airbag/How Am I Driving (Audio CD)
I don't know if this is worth paying 77 dollars for, but it sure is good. These songs all could have ended up on O.K. Computer, possibly making it the best double album of all time, but as it happened, these songs ended up on this somewhat hard to find EP. Here's a brief summary of each track:1. Airbag - As most readers probably know, this one's available on O.K. computer. Airbag is a fine track with all the standard Radiohead cordage. Awesome Lyrics. Crunching Guitars. Profundities. 2. Pearly - Great Song. More of the same excellence. 3. Meeting In The Aisle - Sadly none of Thom's vocals, but it's still a great song. It's something like a Techno song but it has that special Radiohead feel appended to it. 4. A Reminder - An ambling intro with lots of weird stuff going on in the backround and then the bulk of the song is slow and melancholic. 5. Polyethylene - Beautiful acoustic beginning leading up to a spectacular, swirling rock song. 6. Melatonin - Organ, drums, bass and Thom. Another really good song. 7. Palo Alto - One of Thom's discontment songs about society. Yet another spectacular track.
