Bangers + Mash
The loudest thing on either disc of In Rainbows, played on tour with the singer behind a second drum kit.

They road-tested it on the 2006 tour, the one that previewed most of In Rainbows, with Yorke at a second kit alongside Philip Selway. It lurches from funk to punk to straight rock, and it is the most abrasive thing the band released in that period.
Yorke has been dismissive about the words, describing his writing from those sessions as largely nonsense. Whether that is modesty or accuracy, the song does not need them: it is about the riff and the two sets of drums.
It ended up on the second disc of In Rainbows rather than the album, which is where most of the loud things went.
