 available again April 3, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Well this used to be a costly item for completists only, formerly only released in the US and deleted quite quickly. But now (March 2007) it is available again at a sensible price anyone who likes OK Computer should buy it. Great artwork and some good tunes including the haunting instrumental Meeting in the Aisle and the beautiful A Reminder. Of course, if you have the No Surprises EP you will have these already but will be missing out on Palo Alto (apparently its original title was OK Computer) and Polyethylene.
Concise but fantastic February 22, 2007

This mini album from Radiohead follows on in the style of OK Computer, but with a few refreshing suprises.
Tracks such as Pearly, Polyethylene and Palo Alto are more direct in style than much of OKC, with more prominant guitars and a fair bit of noise. However this does not take anything away from the quality of these tracks, which are all top notch.
Tracks like "Melatonin" and "Meeting in the Aisle" are of a very different style, pointing more towards later work: Kid A.
The stand out track is Palo Alto, which showcases a sound which is both retro and forward looking (Listen to it, you will see what I mean)
If you want to appreciate Radiohead this CD is almost as important as OKC and KID A.
 Don't buy this CD February 13, 2006

I'd highly reccomend against purchasing this album.
You can find the unreleased tracks that are on this album on the two import singles below..Paranoid Android [CD 1] [Single]
Paranoid Android - CD2 [Single] Even with P&P they are cheaper than the ridiculous price people are asking for this mini-album.
Better than OK Computer? August 24, 2005
5 out of 12 found this review helpful
Whereas the My Iron Lung EP was better than The Bends, the same formula applies here. The Airbag EP is a beautiful thing, crafted from pure emotion and genius. Never have Radiohead sounded more beautiful than they do on this record. From Airbag, through to the crushing weight of Polyethylene, then on to the haunting melodies of Melatonin and then to the sheet chord beauty of Palo Alto, this is easily Radiohead's finest work.
Fills the gap between OK Computer and Kid A January 29, 2004

This mini-album is really quite brilliant, moreso when you consider that it's made up of songs that were seen as not good enough to be on "OK Computer" (except Airbag, natch). The most surprising thing is that "How Am I Driving?" perfectly fills the gap between "OK Computer" and "Kid A"; tracks like Melatonin and instrumental Meeting in the Aisle would fit seamlessly onto either album.There are some real gems to be found on this EP. Polyethylene was reportedly one of the band's favourites from the "OK Computer" sessions, but was left out of the final tracklisting. It's easy to see why they were fond of it - the guitars and melody are just perfect. It's almost "Bends"-like, except for the division into Parts 1 and 2 which gives it a unique twist. A Reminder is a wonderful song with a tragic sentiment; Thom sings of his fear of losing his mind when he grows old, with this song being - just as it's name implies - a reminder of who he was when he was young. Palo Alto was one of the first songs written for "OK Computer", and was originally known as OK Computer itself. According to Jonny, they hated the song and quickly dumped it, but kept the name. However, they then decided to overhaul it for a B-side release and came up with a delightful crunchy guitar-pop song, not dissimilar to Electioneering. It may only be eight songs long and be a tad over-expensive, but it really is worth having.
