Tricky Beats: Everything In Its Right Place



Radiohead: Everything In It's Right Place

[purchase]

I don't know much about time signatures, but I know that this ain't 4/4, and I know I can't dance to it. I would actually like to hear from someone who knows exactly how one would classify the time signature of this song. I hear four beats followed by six (or maybe by two groups of three). So, I'm guessing it's 10/4? Or is it just 5/4, but divided up in an odd way or with an unusual emphasis?

I honestly don't have a clue. If you know, please pass on your wisdom. I'd like to learn more about how to identify such things.
