Song was pretty good. Video was pretty cool.

Couldn't hear it too good on my phone at work but the video was neat. So you're saying there's riffs down in there somewhere?

The one thing I thought was a bit weak about it was the fact that it's just the Wicker Man in claymation. Well done and cool looking, but nonetheless a story that's been told a couple of times already.

Too much strings for my taste.. but i need a few more spins before saying anything about that, i didn't get King of the Limbs either befor the fourth or fifth listen so let's see where is this going.

I wonder if they're even going to release more songs. This was probably it guys.

Not only that, but it's become one of the most overdone memes in internet history. Utterly cringeworthy IMO.

Song, was meh, not bad but just kind of "sounded like Radiohead," but I felt the same about KoL.

The strings sound a lot like this, which is how I assume they're going to play the song live:

I do hope the next video features GrumpyCat.

Supercollider/The Butcher is probably better than IR and KOL. tbqh.

I just remembered, what I really love about Radiohead (besides the obvious stuff to love) is Colin and Phil (their drums and bass).

Sooooooo, it's pretty obvious why this was just meh to me.

I won't argue with this.

Also Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses.

Oops, that was Thom solo. Wasn't it? I thought Jonny played on it.

first two minutes are long. Rest of the song is pretty

I hope there is more. This could be great in a big thing, but kind of a sad single

Oh I'm sure there's more—they've been talking about an album for a really long time now. There was that one little stretch when Thom was saying they might abandon records and just release singles or whatever they wanted, but I think that idea's sort of faded away.

I do wish they'd just released the whole thing at once.

What's interesting about the video is that if you're of a certain age and British the video is based on a children's animation series called Trumpton from the late 1960s which was obviously fairly innocuous, although did feature an alcoholic miller and some rather enthusiastic firemen... so it has a strangely disturbing effect throughout to those of us who can recall the original series. I doubt it was ever shown outside the UK. It's not something I'd recommend; there are far better animations from that period. If you feel like another piece of media intertextuality, the band Half Man, Half Biscuit recorded their own humorous songs based on the series for their Trumpton Riots EP... but again the jokes are rather niche and only make sense to a certain section of British society... I'm rather surprised by Radiohead's choice of video; their videos are usually much more universal in style.
