Pretentious, inaccessible, maybe, but horrible? The only thing they have going against them is Thom Yorke's upper register, really. In terms of songwriting and musicianship, they're far from horrible. I avoided them because I figured anyone as hyped as they are couldn't live up to it, but I downloaded National Anthem, Glass House, and Idioteque and I was sold. So whatever. You've gotta at least like The Bends. And also, Thom's foolish dancing on SNL was better than Ashlee's foolish dancing on SNL.
Girls who find Thom Yorke to be sexy are weird, by the way.
