review 1: A good, accessible read that contextualizes several philosophical ideas in Radiohead's lyrics and music. The articles are short enough that reading them doesn't feel like poring over a textbook and the philosophy itself is explained, for the most part, in an easy-to-understand manner. I did feel a few times that some of the authors had to stretch their interpretation of the lyrics to align more closely with the philosophical idea that was being discussed (which is pretty much unavoidable in any discussion about music since everyone interprets songs differently,) and I was a little disappointed to see that, out of 22 authors in the book, only one woman was included. Overall, a good read and recommended for any Radiohead fan.
