1 stars One, as follower of certain band knows almost everything that artist has released, which doesn't mean that one will love everything they create, not at all. I am saying this, because I found this single album as a complete disappointment.

First of all, the "Pyramid Song", has never done anything on me, despite I like Amnesiac, this song may be one of my least favorite on that album, it is not bad, but well, at least to me it isn't good either, I've always found it boring, to say the least. So they decided to make this song as a single of that album, in my personal opinion, this time they failed.

"The Amazing Sounds of Orgy", a title that cannot pass unnoticed, but in the other hand, the song itself can be unnoticed since it is a track that lacks of soul, of a real message, the music has electronic elements, after a minute, it is boring as hell.

"Trans Atlantic Drawl", a completely different song that contrasts to the soft and calm sound of the previous two tracks, this is more aggressive, but unfortunately, it is complete noise to me. If you are used to those intelligent and well composed Radiohead songs, you will be completely disappointed with this track in particular, the first part is especially horrible, the second a bit better.

This single ends with "Kinetic", which may be the most experimental and interesting song here, again using some electronic elements, but this time sounds good. The voice as usual is great and the atmosphere a bit confusing and bizarre, but nice after all.

From all the singles I own and have reviewed, this is by far their worst, I almost never listen to it since its content is a waste of time. If you are a fan, buy it, if not, believe me, stay away from this. One sad star.
