837. Radiohead - Airbag/How Am I Driving?

This EP is formed of b-sides from the OK sessions... the set kicks off with Airbag, just like the OK album does, it then moves onto the excellent 'Pearly', the instrumental 'Meeting In The Aisle' evokes the documentary that was filmed on tour, Meeting People is Easy, 'A Reminder' feels like it was lifted perfectly off the album, it fits well but isn't missed. 'Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2)' is great, more 'Bends' era track, both loud and epic. The last two tracks are the most 'filler' sounding of the group, "Melatonin" never really takes off anywhere, and 'Palo Alto' sounds like a song the band had to write and enjoy playing, to themselves...

Given the large gap between OK and Kid A consuming any sort of Radiohead material was necessary and this EP satisfied, for a bit...
