"I enjoy good electronica as much as the next person, but listening to this album was a painful experience. What a way to ruin perfectly good songs! Besides, do we really need a different version of "Fitter Happier"?



Even if you are a die-hard Radiohead fan (which I am), you should stay away from this CD, especially if you didn't really care for Kid A (which I did). On second thought, you should stay away from this IF you're a Radiohead fan! Only tracks that are even remotely tolerable are Creep, Climbing the Wall and Fake Plastic Trees.



Pretty please, with sugar on top, don't just buy this because they are Radiohead covers. Do yourself a favor and listen to the samples first. You'll thank me later."

Open-minded radiohead fans: get it!!!

"This CD contains electronic versions of many radiohead songs. If you consider buying it, remember not to expect Radiohead-like versions of Radiohead songs. THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE. many reviewers complain that "it doesn't sound like radiohead" WELL OF COURSE NOT! IT'S NOT RADIOHEAD! If I want to listen to Radiohead-like songs,, I'd buy Radiohead albums!!! I think it is an awesome album, then again, I like both radiohead and electronic music. I like all of the tracks, specially Paranoid Android, the beat fits the song perfectly. The slow creep version makes you look at the song from a different point of view. Fake plastic trees with female vocals adds an angelical touch to the song. The moog-bassed version of Climbing up the walls is another of the great tracks of the cd. All in all... If you like the last couple of radiohead albums, I don't see why you wouldn't like Plastic Mutations. I highly reccomend it. Listen to the samples so you understand what I mean!!"

"It's utterly awful. On the plus side some are so bad (especially some of the singing, oh boy) that they're quite funny. Until you remember you just paid actual cash for this. Feck."
