Not only that, it's incredibly underrated in general and really stands up among some of Radiohead's best work from their later albums. The song starts out with a cool, kinda jazzy shuffle feel to it, with tasteful clean guitar work and a really neat drum groove. Then, the song breaks out in to a loud, surf rock-esque riff, with overwhelming, reverberating shoegazey guitars, before returning to a more driven, energetic variation of the previous part. Following that, there's an atmospheric breakdown bit before the song dramatically builds up into the outro. The outro can best be described as the most accurate recreation of the sound of a spaceship launching ever recorded. It's loud, intense, cacophonous, and most of all: fucking incredible. The drums part in this song is definitely the best in the pack IMO, mildly difficult and very fun to play. As I mentioned before, the first section has a cool groove to it. It starts out as a basic ride 8-beat at a fairly quick tempo - however, while the ride, kick, and hi-hat pedal (which sadly can't be charted) lock into a constant pattern, the snare drum hits take their own, independent rhythm, accenting different beats in interesting ways. Every few measures there's also a quick snare/tom fill. The loud part has a surf rock groove, riding on the crash, with some weird crossover bits which were charted in a way that lets you conveniently fudge the sticking a bit if you're not on Pro. The build up section is a series of tricky 16th note fills, and the rest of the outro carries a brisk, driving beat on the hi-hat and later the ride. The guitar part's quite neat as well. The intro and first verse feature clean, jazzy chords, and later on some increasingly tricky 8th note HOPO bits are mixed in. The loud riff in the middle is characterized by quick chord changes, though with the same root note, being Everlong-esque but easier. The second verse is the only uninteresting part. It's a reaaallllyyy long chord sustain, though with an overdrive phrase on it so you can whammy to your heart's content. Let's skip to the outro now, where the guitar is extremely prominently mixed and layered with all sorts of effects, creating the sound that makes the part so awesome. Gameplay-wise, it's a very long blast of tremolo strumming, so make sure you've got the stamina in your arm. While the weakest instrument in the song, bass is pretty neat here as well. The melody generally follows the guitar part, with plenty of minor variations in the strumming pattern and quick licks. The loud riff and the outro feature 8th note strumming, but the outro has a neat rhythm alternating between pairs of notes, and later on there's a few little higher melodies thrown in. This is likely the easiest track on vocals, with only two really different melodies on the lead vocal - one in the verse, and one in the chorus. However, the harmony part makes it still really fun to sing, with a very cool melody in the chorus that sings independently of the lead, and a neat harmony in the second verse.
