More on "Twisted Words"

Three days after its release, I still feel a little strange listening to "These Are My Twisted Words." Not in the sense of musical-appreciation-strange--the song is great--but just in the sense that it's one song. I keep expecting more to be built around it, but after 5 minutes, the experience is over. Do I listen to it again or move on to something else? I'm at a complete contextual loss here, and yet I'm thoroughly enjoying those 5 minutes. I wonder how this feeling will affect the sustainability of Radiohead's music from now on? It seems like there will be a certain arc of yearning in between releases that could possibly link together strings of releases, and hopefully, ideas about how their music reflects social climate, technology, and popularity.
