radiohead are even more effective at generating and selling an image than i realized.

i love radiohead, and i'm also a big believer in 'what you see is what you get.' i listen to those albums, i listen to those songs, and it's very clear to me what level of craftsmanship has gone into every stage of the affair, including the recording side. i'm also very clear that records like ok computer or kid a would be a shadow of their present form if they were done on m-boxes with rode mics in crappy sounding bedrooms.

anyone here claiming otherwise had better be using m-boxes and rode mics with no desire for anything better, lest you be guilty of not walking the walk.
