In Default is de Radiohead/Yorke-stijl duidelijk terug te horen, maar dat maakt het niet minder goed, integendeel. Overigens staat 25 februari hier vermeld als releasedatum, maar volgens mij is dat al op 14 januari.

Dat was wel de bedoeling maar de release is helaas uitgesteld.

According to Godrich, the record was a "compromise" for Yorke. "This is the eternal battle with Thom," Godrich said. "He's like, 'I really want to make a dance record. But I have to sing on it, or nobody's going to fucking care.'" To which Yorke said, "The best tunes I dance to always have at least one good vocal idea. There's no such thing, to me, as a good tune with no vocals."

Los Angeles is, of course, fucked. Everything is fucked, all of our cities, all of our towns, our villages, our farms, our entire way of living. and I don't mean fucked in a good way, oh no; I mean it in a very, very bad way. Our energy rich and culturally complacent society has doomed everything, and really, we all know this. Or at least, we should do.

We have run out of everything, pissed it up against the wall, blown it, spent it, wasted it. We've run out of money, of oil, of gasoline, of water, of food, of any resources, of energy, of everything. We are reduced to trying to blast pathetic amounts of gas from solid rock and we don't care if we poison our water while we're doing it.

The apocalypse is already here, and the saddest thing is that we're trying to fool ourselves that it isn't happening. Our politicians are fucking idiots, our heroes are fools, our industries are dying, our farmland is trashed and our culture resembles nothing more than a self-devouring joke. Our architecture is hideous and our art revels in empty platitudes. There is no future; we have evicted ourselves from our own cities, rendered our agriculture poisonous, criminalised the poor, aggrandized the rich, honoured the stupid and ridiculed the intelligent. I don't pretend to stand outside this fucking mess. I'm just as guilty as anyone.
