I read the heroin overdose comment more with the humor I think was intended than as a death wish, but then again my sense humor can be quite off-color at times too
I disagree with the sentiment behind it though, I think Yorke's voice is very important to the band even if it does drift into some directions I don't care for on certain tracks. I really haven't listened to all of Radiohead's stuff. I need to catch up. When I think of Radiohead I always think of The Bends first and foremost, and that's one of those "if I were stuck on a desert island for the rest of my life with only a dozen albums", that might very well be one of the dozen. Inability to provide electricity to the music player past the first couple of days might render it all moot though
