what's with us weirdos? we like to be challenged by sounds we don't understand, rather than be sold sounds we already understand. it's that simple. there's always going to be less of us. but it's not like it's mutually exclusive, either. i greatly prefer year zero, but i've actually warmed up a little to with teeth over the years. i was absolutely mortified when it first came out, though. i mean, the first track is a fucking radiohead song, and a good chunk of it is boring arena rock. not thumping ministry arena rock, but fucking radio-oriented alt rock. i guess that started with starfuckers. what really freaked me out, though, was that the best song on it was the single (the hand that feeds). that was really scary coming from reznor....
