I mean, I love Radiohead and all, but do they just get their lyrics from a generator? reads like every. Radiohead. Song. Ever.

Didn't they pull phrases from a hat for Kid A?

EDIT:

Found this on Wikipedia.

"Yorke wrote many of Kid A's lyrics by cutting up words and phrases and assembling them at random."

Agreed. On the first listen I felt like Thom had to struggle to fit his vocals and lyrics into this song. The orchestra is almost overpowering, and also very limited in its flexibility. Transitioning into the next section along with Thom's vocals is weirdly abrupt.
