The Future According to Radiohead

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/18064095/the_future_according_to_radiohead

The article I chose was on the band Radiohead's latest album and their unique way to release it. The main purpose of the article was to give fans an insight on the band members and learn a little more about the making of the new album. The main subject initially was about the lead singer Thom Yorke but soon lead to talking about all of the members. The article did continue to favor Yorke the most though throughout. As far as a profile is considered, the author protrayed a group of people in a small amount of time and described the band and surroundings immensely. He kept himself out of the picture while still notifying the reader he was present with quotes from his specific questions and personal views on the situation. I noticed the graphic detail included in the profile that gave the reader a much clearer idea about the presense of the person profiled. I gained more emotional insight on all the band members, mostly the other band members that don't normally get as much air time opposed to Yorke. I was facinated to learn that they have kids, the most intriguing was that Thom Yorke did!

The introduction was intriguing but not completely developed because it did not focus on what the whole article was about.
The imagery was extremely detailed and it really helped paint a picture.
