5 stars Well. This time it is. Welcome to a prog album. It isnīt as prog as it could be Pink Floydīs Animals, Dark Side of the Moon or King Crimsonīs debut or Tarcus, or .... But this is a concept album, with songs joined, with a plot, a thematic album with strange changes inside songs.... This a really Well made album. As a rock album i consider it some kind of masterpiece. It isnīt the best album of all time ( it isnīt among the top 5 neither) but probably is the best album of the 90s ( Donīt kill me, i am not overrating, it is my opinion)

Airbag: Good opening, not disturbing but quite interesting. (8,5/10)

Paranoid Android: Wow wow wait a minute, this really seems like a prog song! Changing tempo, changing chords, changing tune ( in fact there are 3 different songs) Great. Wondeful guitars (10/10)

Homesick Home aliens: Interesting song, not a masterpiece but it is good.Reminds me " the verve" (8,5)

Exit Music: This would be a boring song if it wasnīt by the strange sound effects. Great (9/10)

Let Down: Wow this isnīt anyway a Let Down, it brings you up (9/10)

Karma Police: It īs a great song but when you realize it is finishing.... (10/10)

Fitter Happier: I had once a program like this one to "speak". It is original it reminds me revolution 9, i am not going to rate it

Electioneering: Give me a Break, this song really rocks, this is like oasis! (9/10)

Climbing up the walls: This song is a bit strange, very progressive and disturbing (8,5/10)

No Surprises: Some kind of childish song. Itīs nice (8,5/10)

Lucky: Itīs not so interesting to me, a bit boring (7,5/10)

The Tourist: The same (7,5·10)

Maybe the end coud be more interesting but this helps to make the concept work better.

As an album i give it a (9/10)
