I can't help be disappointed at 37 minutes worth of material. I don't know if that's fair or not, but it is extremely disappointing.

I've only given it one listen through and it was while hiding in my office at work, listening through crap speakers.

My strongest initial impression is that the sequencing, flow, build-up...call it what you will...is fantastic. The progression from dreary Bloom to the unusually light and airy Separator is just awesome.

Overall I'm very happy with what I've heard, but not too thrilled that I paid $48 for this. I guess if I'm going to overpay for anything music related I'm happy that it goes to Radiohead. Plus I still haven't seen what's going to show up in the mail come May.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to taking the back roads home tonight and getting a better listen.
