Album Notes Full title: Airbag/How Am I Driving?Radiohead: Thom Yorke, John Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood, Phil Selway.All tracks except track 1 were previously unavailable in the United States.AIRBAG/HOW AM I DRIVING? was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. 1998 saw Radiohead perform pop music's most difficult task--their album OK COMPUTER was a critical smash, a worldwide pop hit, and, most importantly, a revolutionary step forward from the edgy, perfectly crafted pop music of their already masterful early efforts. Reintroducing a sense of intellectual adventure into rock music, at times they hearkened back to Pink Floyd, from whose compositional experimentation and epic scale they obviously gleaned a lesson or two. OK COMPUTER's opening track, "Airbag," serves as a starting point for AIRBAG/HOW AM I DRIVING.The self-proclaimed "mini-album" opens with the stormy "Airbag," whose furious drum loop and emotive vocal build slowly into a guitar-led orchestra, where swirling, ghostly melody lines float and dart, crashing dramatically into the song's recurring musical motif. "A Reminder" sets a gentle, ominous melody against a backdrop of cascading guitar stabs, while "Polyethylene" contrasts pared-down metrical shifts with raging passages full of arena rock swagger. The curious, rambling "Melatonin" features almost no vocals, and the closer "Palo Alto" is chaotic and moody, filled with dynamic hurtles and skittering melody lines. | |||||||||||
