weakest track on OK. I posted before that this song seems out of place to me....it leads into climbing up the walls, though, which is underrated and one of my fav's

Really, hmm. I think Electioneering is positioned perfectly, leading into CUTW, which you pointed out, and following FH. The spped at which it plays sort of takes you out of the element of the previous songs, true, but then we, the listeners, are brought back to the underlying theme of the album. I love it; it's a great driving song.

I agree with TFIF. It's not a bad song, but it seems weirdly out of place on OK Computer, musically anyway. I always got the impression it was left over from The Bends sessions or something.

Every damn track on OK Computer is amazing, and this one is no exception. No one ever talks about how amazing "Let Down" is either, but that doesnt make it underrated. Radiohead fans are the kind of people who listen to the whole cd, so every track gets love.
In my opinion it is a great song, yeah, and it does rock, but like others have said, it seems out of place somewhat on OK Computer, but it's still one of the best albums...ever.
