So it's out now for anybody who has bought it, or like me bought it as soon as you read that it was out already even though it still says pre-order.
Opens strongly.

Even after In Rainbows? Thom Yorke seems to be incorporating some of the influences that he first put forth on 'The Eraser', and I like it.
Also, listen to Codex some more. What a track.
I am loving this. Wine might be helping.

Just finished my first listen, and was really impressed. It sounds like nothing they've done before, but exactly like Radiohead. I can never really tell about the quality of an album after one listen, but here are some thoughts:
1) The first half is certainly the most rhythmically complex I've heard from a Radiohead album. I think KvP was right about the HTTT reference, it's got the same feel as The Gloaming or Backdrifts. I think it does sound electronic, but not in a Warp sort-of-a-way they've done before, sounds like they've used the electronics to provide trickier rhythms to some of the songs.
2) It doesn't sound as varied in tone or style as In rainbows. I get the feeling they restricted their palette alot more for this album than their previous 4 or 5.
3) The bleeding from Codex to Giving Up The Ghost is utterly fantastic.
4) It is the exact correct length for an album.
