It’s great. But not quite at The Bends/ OK Computer levels
What's this? A radiohead album I don't full dull and actively enjoy.. It really is the end of times
First time listening to Radiohead, pleasantly surprised. Bodysnatchers absolutely bangs, straight onto my playlist. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, is weird but cool at the same time. Again very solid album.
Tough. Sonically great album. Vibe-y, mellow, classic Radiohead space-y-ness, very chill. York’s vocals really work with this mature mellow rock. Love the bass/drum mix. Okay, guess I like the album.
Know this album well, love the bass line on Nude. Is it a 5 star? By Radiohead's high bar, I don't think it is. Videotape is a bummer of a closing song.
The best of this album IMO: - 15 Step - Bodysnatchers - House of Cards - Jigsaw Falling Into Place Ah, this album... Loved it as a teen. Still holds up today for sure. 3.7/5
great album. really consistent feel, mostly nostalgic. but super nice and chill to listen to. it feels almost sad, but not quite there. favorite song: probably reckoner
Heard already but absolutely great! 4/5
This isn't the most talked about Radiohead album, but it's a real good one. It's another step for them into the more psychedelic sound. Lots of haunting vocals and rhythmic guitar.
Not too bad, created a kinda bleak melancholic soundscape for me, which I enjoy but may not be for everyone
sassy and fun 3? 4
for it me it is strange, but i liked it
4.5
Sometimes a bit depressing but good style
Better than expected though still somewhat meandering and freeform. Second half better than first.
I liked most of the tracks that didn't have that built in 'tune out' thing where you keep missing them. It's like they're invisible. How do they do that?
Downloaded this for free as part of the great pay-what-you-want experiment back in the day, excited by one of the world's biggest bands choosing to go off grid. But at the time I didn't rate it much. Now Spotify makes it available for free too, but it doesn't *feel* free, it feels like part of the same old rotten recording industry system. And I enjoyed it a lot more this time. I guess you get what you think you paid for?
Ganz gut, klingt teilweise alles zu gleich, aber viel ist auch gut.
Great album
Aiemmin tullut kuunneltua Radioheadilta lähinnä OK Computeria ja sitten jotain satunnaisia biisejä. Tämä oli ehkä vähän suoraviivaisempaa ja menevämpää kuin tuo OK Computer. Levy piti kuunnella läpi kolmeen kertaan, kun välillä jäi niin kaiken muun touhuilun taustalle. Piti varmistaa vielä kerran että oliko tämä oikeasti hyvä ja kyllähän se oli, tykkäsin. Erityisesti jäi mieleen Weird Fishes.
Jotenkin tämä levy on jäänyt harmittavan vähälle kuuntelulle aiemmin. En erityisemmin innostunut Radioheadin levyistä OK Computerin jälkeen, kenties koska taiteellisilla elementeillä kikkaillut rockyhtye oli muutunut rockelementeillä kikkailevaksi taideyhtyeeksi. Tämä levy tavallaan jatkaa samaa kaavaa, mutta huomattavasti vähemmän häiritsevästi kuin esim. Amnesiacilla ja Hail to the Thiefillä. Mukaan on tuotu myös enemmän elektronisia soundeja, jotka toimii yllättävän hyvin. Varsinkin levyn alkupuoli (15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi) on aivan huikeata tykitystä ja ihmettelinkin kuunnellessa että miten en ollut aiemmin syttynyt tähän juurikaan. Alun jälkeen taso (tai ehkä ennemminkin tunnelma) ehkä vähän laskee, vaikkei yksikään kappaleista ole sinänsä erityisen heikko. Jos Radioheadin kolme ekaa levyä on 5*-tasoa niin ehkä tämä ei ihan samaan yllä. Vahva nelonen kuitenkin!
Great album! No misses. Just great songs.
more interesting than I remembered it, I guess it only has a few that stand out at first but it's nice
I'm going to give it 4. Doesn't have any edge. It's not passive, it is aggressive, but it doesn't bite.
Loved it.
Memories of the Dwight spot.
Enjoyed thoroughly
Pretty upbeat. 7/10
I loved Radiohead most during their harder era. This is a great album all the same. Great beats, I couldn’t stop moving my body while listening.
I'm not as big into Radiohead as my other musical inclinations would suggest, but this album has grown on me a ton since it's release. I enjoyed this thoroughly and will likely add it into my rotation
Another amazing album and another career defining moment for the band. Great track all around with Videotape being my favourite. Better than Kid A in my opinion but I still prefer OK Computer to it.
Vraiment bon. Radiohead c'est de la bombe. Mais ce n'est pas leur meilleur. Quand même excellent 4.65
the white man's favorite album of the 2000s -roling stone
Actually liked this more than I thought
Good album with a couple of absolute crackers.
Beklenen verim alinamadi
I prefer the older Radiohead, but it was fun to listen to where the band went.
Оказывается, мне не весь радиохед нравится
7.5, i enjoyed it
Back when I collected these stats this was my all-time most listened to album. Needless to say I loved it. Listening to it now… I don’t know… something is missing. I know, hardly subjective. But this album can’t be subjective. It is all predicated on hitting that emotional spot, like optimistic depression (to me). And now it doesn’t hit it. It sounds hollow. I don’t know. I’ll listen again later, maybe my mood was off.
Pretty chill but sonically just an amazing sound
Can Radiohead actually make a below 4 star album? Impossible. 4.45/5
radio head. I hardly know her. 4.8
cabeça radio
Solid. Weird enough to be interesting. Nothing standout amazing but enjoyable as an album.
More experimental as they progress and so better and better. This is a great album.
Pretty good. Had listened to House of Cards before. There were a few more songs on there that are bops.
Self-reflective. Sound and lyrics fill me with melancholy. An album you can listen to over and over and never get tired while still being able to pick up on something new.
First album I am familiar with. Enjoyed it when it came out and still a big fan. Though is another album that the critics love and I appreciate but not an all-time favorite I have on constant spin.
Pretty good
This isn't my favorite Radiohead album, so I never really went back to give it a second try. Glad I had this opportunity to do so, since I've rediscovered a few tracks I've really enjoyed. Writing down Nude, Faust Arp and Videotape.
Never listened to this before and really enjoyed the mixture of instruments and the variety of tracks. Really well done and very good to listen to in all moods
it was super weird and different but that’s what i liked about it, and the last song i really enjoyed the sound
I enjoyed this one! More uptempo than I remembered but slow songs are good too. Had it on in the background while reading so didn’t pick any tracks out
...the one where a hugely popular experimental band finally free of their record deal releases their first independent album by letting fans pay what they want then leads it off with a song in 5/4 time... Big thumbs-up here. :) In Rainbows is probably not the easiest intro to Radiohead (probably the best way to try to ease into the band is to go chronologically (but skip their debut Pablo Honey)) but if you want an accessible-ish great start, go with "All I Need" which is as normal as it gets here, and is still a great song. But Radiohead is not a singles band, meaning it's impossible to "get" or (for me) truly enjoy the band by listening to one song - in many ways they harken back to earlier days by truly being an "album band" - you need to digest this in its entirety to get the full breadth and scope. A song like "House Of Cards" is gorgeous in its layered melodies but it alone doesn't touch upon the organized chaos that the band brings so well in another track like "Bodysnatchers." All in all though, one of my favourite collections from the band and nearly as good as it gets - unlike some of their bigger albums (looking at you OK Computer) this one doesn't peter off at the end and stays strong through the final song "Videotape." Like most of their albums, this one also truly gets better upon repeated listens. Also a perfectly-digestible 43 minutes long (just because CDs ushered in an era where you could jam 72 minutes into an album didn't mean you should...). 8/10 4 stars
Great Album. I think they have nailed what they have been experimenting with. Best track - Weird Fishes
I am generally not a Radiohead fan, but this album is quite good.
1st Radiohead album I’ve listened to. Pretty good 👍
Wirklich gut nicht so abgehoben aber auch sehr clever. Absolut zu Recht auf der Liste und ich bin gespannt ob das für alle anderen Radiohead Alben auch so gilt
Quasi chef d'oeuvre: Videotape Reckoner 15 step et surtout.. Bodysnatchers Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Great album
I never took to this on release originally and I think I’ve skipped an album which based on three listens yesterday is right up there in terms of Radiohead’s releases - wonderful stuff
No es el mejor de Radiohead ni mucho menos pero es bastante escuchable, más de lo que normalmente se le reprocha. Infravalorado
Top tracks: 15 Step, Jigsaw Falling into Place
Best album since OK Computer.
Good musically, not sold on his boring voice, cannot be considered in the same breath as some of the greats, overall good, especially considering his head is a radio, very sad 😢
Weinig op aan te merken, behalve dat ik er niet zo vrolijk van word.
Quizás más famoso por que lo regalaron más que por sus canciones pero aun así es muy buen disco
I liked it a lot, very radiohead
7/10. Hard to judge well because it definitely sounded better when I didn't listen on my car speakers, but I didn't hear much that interested me. Giving it the 7 over the 6 on benefit of the doubt since it did sound nice.
Chido, aunque algunas canciones algo underwhelming, supongo que ese era el punto. En este disco, y como en todo radiohead creo, lo que más me gustó fueron las percusiones, tienen un toque muy energetico, son muy ostentosas, de ahíq ue mis canciones fav fueron: 15 step (esta sí se queda en una de mis playlists), Reckoner y Jigsaw Falling into Place. Mood: Frito y triste.
wow this album flew by. I loved the first song 15 Step but that is because it's the song from Twilight that isn't on the soundtrack so that was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed this album, it played all the way through without me skipping anything so that is a plus. It felt very easy to listen to but I still liked some of the more creative beats in many of the songs. Radiohead is one of those bands that I had heard bits and pieces of but not the albums so I'm glad we are getting a few of them on this list. Great album cover too.
An interesting album with experimental sounds, fused with rock, electronic ambient sounds and somewhat moody and atmospheric, I enjoyed it.
Some cool stuff but somewhat low-key for my taste right now. I’ll optimistically give it an 8 because I’ll probably listen to it a few more times.
this was one of the first pay what you want albums. I loved it when it came out. It felt a little rawer than most Radiohead stuff. A little bit of hip-hop influence too. Not my favorite or the most important, but a solid album
It's A nice album to listen and to be relaxing.
Mellowish, not my thing but I vibed with it
I love the music jigsaw falling into place, dnt know why, the album is really calm and relaxed me
I am not normally a Radiohead fan. With the exception of Pablo Honey I have a hard time sitting through one of their songs, let alone a full album. I will say that thought I did sit through this whole album and I I liked it more than I normally do.
Disco más raro y experimental de Radiohead. En su época no lo disfruté tanto. Con el paso del tiempo veo que es mejor de lo que recordaba y que tiene ese algo especial de este grupo.
mostly good
Another great album from Radio and the Heads! Much brighter than the previous (I think this album is notoriously their most accessible and least depressing), lots of tracks on here that I enjoyed. At this point, when I see Radiohead pop up, I know I’m in for a smooth ride. We’ve had two in about a month, and I can’t complain. Favorite tracks: 15 Step, All I Need, Jigsaw Falling into Place, Reckoner. Album art: Another iconic picture, I see this one a lot. Really love the multicolored text, and I’ve barely even looked through to the explosion behind it, but this one is really fun to look at. 4/5
Jag hade inte hört detta album tidigare. Gillar det verkligen. Lyssnade på det 3ggr och det växer ännu. Jag förväntar mig åtminstone 2 album till på listan av Radiohead. Pablo Honey och OK Computer förtjänar att vara med.
Very adventurous album, a bit challenging at times. Has two of my favorite Radiohead songs (All I Need and Reckoner). Very strong
Melon is right
First RH album 7/10 song I liked
Great album, very artsy. Disk 2 is where it really peaks. This album is an experience.
Awesomely refreshing.
love the slower songs more than the faster ones
Quite nice
good job Radiohead, good job
Sick band sick album, bodysnatchers easy favourite. Weird Fishies and Faust Arp also great
-Still trying to "get into" Radiohead -Lots of it feels like Yorke wandering around vocally -The highs (Weird Fishes, All I Need, Reckoner) are REALLY high but some tracks feel like filler
Quite mellow but was good for easy listening
4/5
The best part of the Twilight movie was the credits. Good choice when it came to the music.
Listened before
chill
First listened 27th August 2025. Favourite songs are Weird Fishes / Arpeggi and All I Need.
Honestly? Kinda mid. Nothing in here was really standing out and it just felt like an off day for Radiohead.
Mellow alt rock
En general me han gustado todas las canciones, pero no lo suficiente como para ponerle una puntuación mayor. Mi favorita diría que es la primera.
Not bad but...
I do not think Radiohead is some great gift to mankind, but they do make pleasant if melancholy music that is well-crafted. I don't love Yorke as a vocalist, but there are plenty of artists that are far more grating. (3.5)
It was okay. A couple good songs, the rest were kinda aimless.
Unique, but requires another listen.
According to my stats (which, after 400 albums, should be starting to mean something), I like Radiohead less than most people do, and I’m not particularly fond of music from the 2000s either. It’s not that I have anything against this band or that decade - I’d love to rate them differently, but then Radiohead comes along with “In Rainbows” and confirms all my reservations. The album isn’t bad at all, but like everything this band has released since “Creep,” it’s simply uninspired and monotonous. You can’t help but think of Coldplay, but at least with them, individual songs stand out. Radiohead, on the other hand, deliver more of a continuum of mediocre songs with a wide range of sound effects but little substance. If you’re already familiar with Radiohead, you don’t really need to listen to this album.
No, I'm staying with my finding that early radiohead was best. The sound was more dynamic and the vocals better The songwriting really is undercut by the vocal. I often thought to myself: oh that's a nice instrumental intro... And then the voice comes in.
no es mi estilo
I don't get Radiohead. It's certainly a distinct sound, and I can't say they've ventured far from their norm here. I like a good vamp, but Radiohead makes it seem repetitious. This record, like all Radiohead I've heard, is a drag.
Lovely mellow album, can imagine putting it on to have a chill out. It's the first Radiohead album I've listened to and would be interested in listening to earlier albums of they are of the same sound.
Odd. Atmospheric album. I still don’t really get Radiohead. I remember when the album came out it was revolutionary that it was pay what you want.
It's fine.
Not my favorite Radiohead, but Radiohead is never bad.
Me gustó por el hecho de que escuché un tipo de música que nunca había escuchado pero no termine de agarrarle la onda
No te voy a mentir, está bien pero tampoco me estoy volviendo loco.
It's not an unbearable listen and some of the songs I enjoyed, but maybe I am not a Radiohead person in the way that matters because most of the album didn't particularly strike a cord with me, aside from All I Need, which is because of an animation I've seen using that song which hurt me in such a personal way. First half didn't impress me, but second half was fantastic. Or at least Jigsaw and Videotape were just that enjoyable to me.
I got lost in it, but no highlights
I've never been a Radiohead fan but I recognize their impact in the alternative music scene. Bodysnatchers being in the bottom three of Spotify listens is criminal. It's by far the coolest song on the album. Other standouts are All I Need and Jigsaw Falling Into Place but for the most part it's a lot of the same thing feat. Bodysnatchers.
Nah
Sad background music. Really well done sad background music, done by fine musicians and with good lyrical content. It failed to stir my soul in any way.
What do you listen to? Brad Pitt: “Radiohead. Radiohead, Radiohead, Radiohead, Radiohead.”
Liked this wayyyy more than Kid A (not hard to beat), but not nearly as much as OK Computer and The Bends. There were some good songs that I liked (especially Reckoner, that track was great), but there were a few too many songs that I didn't connect with, I think they were a little too heady for me. It was good, not great, a solid 3/5. Would probably be a 3.5/5 on a proper scale.
Meh
This seems ok. It's nothing I'm really excited about, but the lyrics are decent, singing decent, music decent. But nothing really stands out as amazing.
Objectief gezien een prachtig goed album. Overdreven goed geproduceerd maar toch eentonig. Vaak kan ik de liefde vinden in albums die als 1 nummer klinken maar daar is het genre te saai voor. 3 bangers
Pretty good, not AS good as Kid A or The Bends
totally faded into the background, good but I am not likely to revisit it
All of Radiohead's albums possess a darkness which I don't like, also Thom Yorke has a really annoying voice. One or two really good songs I would revisit like All I Need or jigsaw
Nothing to write home about
I don't know how to feel about it. Not really in for it but it's still gud Will I listen to again: 50%
I have listened to early Radiohead. I liked the Bends and OK Computer very much. I have heard that later Radiohead is quite different. I am about to find out. It is an experimental album. It is not rock and roll at all. York’s vocals are buried. They often sound haunting. A lot of songs lack a melody or a beat. Songs are a mixed bag. Some are interesting; some not so interesting. Quite a departure from their previous work. They don’t quite pull it off. An average album. Three stars.
I just can't get into this album. I loved a lot of their earlier work, and I understand why this one was groundbreaking on a lot of levels, but it just doesn't do anything for me.
7/10
hmmm.... i think i feel similar about this as i did with the jeff buckley album a couple days ago? like its pretty good but im just not really feeling "sad white boy music" rn. altho in this case the band is also on some zionist bullshit lately which doesn't help, anyway my favourite track is "all i need" with its atmospheric sound design and gritty bass, although "nude" is pretty close. but i think "nude" just sticks in my mind cos iirc there was a remix contest for it around when this album came out and the 3/4 time signature led to a lot of incredibly awkward sounding entries that clumsily attempted to force it into a 4/4 house track. it was a pretty good trick to play, knowing how prevalent house is in any remix contest.... i can still respect that about radiohead, at least. won't stop me thinking thom yorke is a dickhead tho.
Overall Rating - 3.25/5 (6.50/10). Definitely not my usual style of music. It's not bad, it's just different from what I usually listen to.
미술관에서 예술작품을 보는느낌?… ㅎㅎ
Great overall album and vibe! Never listened to Radiohead before, but I definitely will start! Liked the vibe and it was very easy to listen to. 3/5
Best one so far, it’s a shame Jonny and thom wanna shag the IDF
Enjoyed this. Like most Radiohead albums they take a few listens to appreciate them.
Radiohead is a classic.
Certainly not a lack of creativity and musical prowess, but there's just an overall lack of energy for me.
Didn't care much for this one. I do like one of their other albums though
chill. mellow. vibes.
Started listening to this early in bed before getting up and promptly fell back to sleep! Thought I’d better give it another go while on my morning walk (which I just noticed I also did with Kid A). It’s has some a very laid-back moments – even for Radiohead - and has a dreamy feel to a lot of it so I can see why it afforded me a bit more kip! It seemed to have a more up-beat tone to it overall though. As up-beat as you can get for Radiohead I suppose at least. I liked it anyway and although I know I’ve heard it before I can’t remember much of it but think I will be listening to this one a few more times now. Preferred it to the more depressing Kid A and think it may even be a step up from OK Computer eventually for me.
Radiohead is a band I have something of a love/hate relationship with, mostly around Thom Yorke's vocals which I sometimes find really a bit annoying. This album's really not the strongest Radiohead album, but we still have Yorke's wailing vocals.
Only 3 stars because I am unable to listen with earbuds or read the lyrics bc I was busy these last couple days. Hopefully moving forward, I will be able to pay more attention, although my fave songs were probobly: Jigsaw falling into place and maybe bodysnatchers
Most of what I knew about Radiohead going into this list was that someone I disliked in highschool was obsessed with them so I veered away and never really tried it. I kind of like them though, but it varies track to track quite a bit. There is a vague annoying quality but I can see that possibly fading with repeated listens. It's weird I like it but don't desire to go back to it. Bodysnatchers was good. All I Need was cool. Reckoner was cool. Much like the last one, probably a great album for a certain mood. Beautiful moments throughout, slow builds
I don't know why I thought I really liked Radiohead before this list but every album is just bleh to me.
I'm giving this a 3...the same rating I gave Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath. How is this possible? Well, like Vol. 4, I enjoyed it, but not enough that I'll probably ever come back to it. But it had good moments.
Es un álbum bastante aburrido a mi parecer. Tiene buena instrumentación, pero la voz de Tom Yorke no ayuda para nada. A mí parecer, es un disco regular, pero tampoco es una obra de arte perfecta.
It's solid, though it does make me want to listen to Doves. I'm not so keen on the slower songs, but In Rainbows has my fave Radiohead tune with Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Muy buen álbum de Radiohead que no conocía. Lástima que bastante depre para escucharlo dos días después de que Argentina pierda con España, pero bueno.
I’m not a big Radiohead guy, but this album was enjoyable.
certainly better than the first Radiohead album that I listened to. This is more of the same, but more enjoyable. almost as if they thought about the listener
decent but did not really impress me, I prefer the bends
Been a while since we had a Radiohead album, nearly a year and a half. Not familiar with this one. It's very good again as usual, not on the same level as ok computer or the bends for me. Only track I know is Jigsaw falling into place, which is very good 3.5
Just ok. Radiohead have better songs not on this album
Thought I'd hate it but I didn't. Tomorrow I get album 1001. What they don't tell you at the beginning is that the quest is actually for 1089 albums so they can include all the albums that have been added across all editions. So who cares if your rogue is out of magic arrows, your cleric and druid are hysterically calling for divine intervention (their pleas are being ignored like a 3am drunk dial from your crazy ex, btw), and your wizard with 11AC is out of potions and spells. That giant door protected by the stone gargoyles can't stop you so CHARGE FORWARD FOR THE 1089!!! All will be well, all will be well.
This is the first time I've listened to this album in many years. Radiohead's 2000s era never really appealed to me, though this album isn't bad. In my opinion, Radiohead lost a bit of their identity when Johnny Greenwood stopped playing guitar. Before, it was: "I'm sad. *guitar solo* After: "I'm sad. *beep beep bop bop*"
ok
Listened to this one already. Saw them in Berlin which was awesome!
I actually already listened to this LOL. It's good. Not amazing, a little too calm for my taste, but I think I'm starting to understand why people like it. My favorite is probably 15 step.
I liked it but don’t have much to say.
It was good That song from the credits of Twilight was on there.
Seth - remembering this album from an ex my freshman year of college, going into it I am reminded of the pretentiousness that comes with liking Radiohead. Hoping to see what the fuss is about. Logan - So far, I'm not impressed (track 2). It's not bad, but not something I feel compelled to go and download. Seth (Track 3) - Enjoying this one a bit more. The music swells to an emotional bubble that feels like slow dancing in a ballroom being filled with water. Logan (Track 3) - Like sitting on a bench with your girlfriend looking at the stars. Logan (Track 4) - Feels like zooming the camera out and seeing the entire world around you. Seth (Track 4) - I was most familiar with this track prior. Excellent stream of memories runs through this one. L (T5) - Very relaxing. Goosebumps. S (T6) - Boring, lyrics seem to not be much for me nor the music. S (T7) I often wonder why I don't enjoy Radiohead, but their music just falls flat for me. This track is honestly pretty, but it does nothing to sway me whatsoever. S (T8) lol boring as shit L (T10) A funeral song I would not play at my funeral. Seth - 3/5 Logan - 2.5/5
From the first 4 songs, I am getting a mix of smooth jazz i.e. Weird Fishes, but also getting that classic grunge sound i.e. Bodysnatchers. Getting very much space odyssey vibes from this album. Something that I would hear drifting through the abyss. It's a weird sound, especially with the incorporation of classical instruments i.e. strings. In a way, it makes me think wistfully of not being able to explore the universe, if that makes sense? As if there is an opportunity to go further than my body or mind can take, but I can't attain it. Fairly impressed, I didn't know how I was going to feel. Album Rank: 7.2 Favorite Song: Weird Fishes
I didn’t dislike it, but every time I thought I was getting into it, the album had finished and I was listening to something else
When they released this as pay-what-you-want, I downloaded it. I no longer recall if I paid them anything initially — but then I bought the physical CD. So I liked it enough for that. I don't care for it as much as some of their other releases, but I respect what they tried to do with the business model there. I think my favorite song here might be "All I Need."
I just don't get Radiohead
I was a big Radiohead for a few albums. But this is my first time listening to this album. There nothing wrong with this album. It sounds like all the other Radiohead albums. It’s just kind of not that interesting. It’s good and it’s their sound. I probably could listen again but it’s nothing overly special.
I tried to really enjoy this, and it's good.. but I really cannot see myself going back to this album. I'm happy for other people that like it, this just isn't for me.
Weird album to rate, i common theme of my listening and critiquing has become the tussle between objectivity and subjectivity. On paper this album is great at what it does, but once again my pallet is tarted by the vocals. ‘Bodysnatchers’ is great and so is the jigsaw tune but I just can’t get over the horrible tone with which the lyrics are delivered. Fuck being a critio be fair, how can I include danceability and stank face into my rating scale without perverting the list completely. Anyhow, overall pretty good, ive just heard so much better in the same scope this album is trying to breach
I think is a good album even if i don't actually listen to all the song, or at least i don't listen the entire song sometimes. But there were 2 o 3 song that actually captures my attention.
Se viene un peso pesado de la lista. Honestamente me parece un álbum sobrevalorado. O sea no es malo pero tampoco es la obra maestra que alguna gente intenta vender.
i would love to be proven wrong but this only furthered my theory that the average radiohead fan is an avoidant man who listens to them to feel sorry for himself and ignore the fact that he is the root of his own suffering
Well, this wasn't offensive, and it did keep my attention for most of it. I appreciate the changes and shifts throughout. It's definitely not something I would find myself listening to again though.
Estoy seguro no va a ser el único disco de radiohead acá, me dan categóricamente igual. Del disco en específico solo tengo para decir que suena como el resto de radiohead
Other than Bodysnatchers, which is fantastic, this album kind of washed over me. Not bad but I wish it'd had more songs like that second track.
3/5 - I really like Bodysnatchers, but I really lost the thread on Radiohead post-Kid A and never recovered it. This band is like an optical illusion for me with the faces/vases. If I listen one way, it's brilliant, experimental-sounding music. If I listen another way, it's sniveling, whiny garbage. I can never hear both at the same time, but I'm aware it is actually both at the same time.
Not quite my tempo
Relajante no estuvo mal, pero no me derrito
Tämä on todella arvostettu levy ja ymmärrän täysin miksi, mutta omalle kohdalle ei kyllä täysin osunut. Levyn tuotanto, sekä sävellys ovat kyllä todella hyvää laatua. Paras kappale Jigsaw Falling Into Place
I was a big fan of Radiohead, this album was about where I stopped following them. It's not a bad album, it just feels too down-tempo and adult-contemporary for my tastes. It was better than I remember on this listen, but I'm not rushing out to spin it again.
Opening on a 5/4 song nice! Fast number two, then into ballad number three which is solid album pacing. Song four and we're back to playing with polyrhythms lovely feel and groove to this one. Several mellow tunes thereafter, Reckoner has a nice laid back feel. Latter half of the album is one song blending into another which little to distinguish. Maybe ear fatigue.
I liked "All I need", "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" and "Faust arp". Other tracks are a bit too experimental for me, but I like the idea.
I have seen Radiohead live in concert once. A smaller venue with wooden floors. When "Creep" came on, the whole room expanded and the dance floor felt as if it was breathing. The whole room was jumping in time. I had come for the opening bands. I was not a fan of Radiohead. I found them a bit too arty for the sake of arty. Seeing "Creep" live did show me what their fans saw in them. I got it. I still didn't care for them; they were not for me. This album, when it came out, opened a discussion on the future of music sales and marketing. Much has been said and started with this album. The thing is that they weren't the first band to try doing this but they were the first major band. That's kind of how I feel about their music. Lots of folks consider them innovators, and they are. They are rarely the first ones in and rarely taking too many risks. They were trying to figure a way to deal with the bs that happened with Hail to the Thief. For that, they definitely caught the interest of the music industry and how to deal with pirates. However, they do get the accolades. This was wallpaper music to me. I recognized some of the influences and would rather go listen to those folks. That isn't to say that there isn't anything here. There is nothing objectionable and sometimes a song will hit. "Jigsaw Falling into Place" did catch my attention. This is a list of influential albums and not really based on my own personal taste. This would be a 2.5 star rating. Rounding up gives it a 3. If I was to listen to a Radiohead album, it might not be this one.
I really hate how I can't seem to connect to Radiohead the same way a lot of people do. I just don't like this style, and I think I probably never will, unfortunately. I can slightly understand why people are into this, but there is still some sort of barrier I feel between me and this music. I feel like there isn't much to say about this album, other than I thought it was okay? It was nothing special, but it was also not awful. There were a few tracks that I enjoyed that stood out slightly more than others... Stand-outs: Nude Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
I don't understand the love for the band. This wasn't bad but it's just so boring.
I don't like radiohead in the slightest, but I had to give this a listen. 15 steps, bodysnatchers and nude are great opening tracks, and the rest of the album follow in their wake. Glad I listened to this album
Flojo, un abismo respecto a the bends
they say its their best albums, maybe im missing something here?
Although In Rainbows is different than their previous albums, I feel like my review is about the same. Another well crafted, mellow alt rock effort by Radiohead. All the songs are good, lots going on with the base lines, the drums, and in the background. Jigsaw Falling Into Place is the lead track, also enjoyed the weirdness of Faust Arp. Besides this being a worthy album, part of the reason it makes The 1001 Must Hear list is the way it was released on their website (as a free download and to stick it to the man.) I think we all remember that! I still find his falsetto voice somewhat whiny and annoying. All in all, not as strong as their previous albums. (3.3*s) Good decision keeping it under 45 minutes. I listened to Disk 2, not as good and would have detracted.
Is ok, not their best
Lo dicho: los discos de Radiohead post Ok computer me cuestan trabajo. Ni de lejos mal, pero no consigo conectar.
the songs blend together. Would be good for road trip
Good sounds, however tends to blend together
Not a big Radiohead guy. I got laid in high school rather than listen to them. I get the vibe, though. I too would do weird shit like this for 20-odd years to make sure I never had to play "creep" live again. Do they still play that song live? No idea, not a big Radiohead guy.
There are some really cool sounds in here but no actual good songs. Sad Thom Yorke became completely hopeless and boring Thom York around this point.
Man...I really wanted to love this, but it honestly felt mid to me. I like a handful of Radiohead songs (none on this album), but this album just did not do it for despite the hype. Perhaps it is more of an acquired taste. With that said, this album was bad, just did not meet expectations with how popular it is. I originally thought it could be a 5 star, but then was like okay 4 star maybe, but by the end I settled on 3 Stars as it just did not stick out to me as anything that special. I might like other Radiohead albums more than this. Favorite Track - Bodysnatchers Least Favorite Track - 15 Step ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good album with some good songs. 6.6/10
Meh
Me va gustando
Vocals are beautiful, difficult to understand but dept is there. Instrumental are unique, caught me off guard with the first song in the album. I am not used to listening such songs, but something about this album gives me nostalgia and makes me reminisce about a time I definitely did not have. Favourite song in the album - Jigsaw Falling Into Place No. of Favourited Songs - 6/10 Rating - 3/5
Sounds like the colour grey - find it boring
Radioheads' sound gives me strong college flashbacks Has their sound from previous albums but more beats
Good background music, but otherwise, just fine
So Radiohead coded. I liked it.
I can’t feel this sad
Super album, j'ai passé un bon moment à l'écoute. Malheureusement, il manquait d'un petit truc pour une meilleure note. Note : 3 À réécouter : Oui
с одной стороны, объективно я не могу ничего назвать плохого. но если субъективно оценивать по моим впечатлениям, то пока у меня в голове белый лист. я слышал All I Need, понравилась Nude. Остальное - нормально. и даже странно оценивать, видя такую оценку от юзеров, а ты ничего подобного не ощутил.
Je l’ai deja ecoute mais bangers et moins bien
Better than I thought. Still not as good as past Radiohead
Every time I listen to Radiohead, I think: I'm too dumb to understand this. I like them a lot, and I guess admire them, but not much connects and not much sticks. One day something will inside me will adjust and they will become my favorite band.
It's definitely Radiohead! Tbh I am mostly a Kid A fan, and never really fell into any of their other work.
I can see the hype, enjoyed a few of the songs on here.
4th RH album generator has given means finally found this effort to be cohesive and understandable !!
Having a hard time staying fully invested, really love some of the songs like 15 steps and Nude, but towards the end they started sounding a bit samey. I want to relisten to this on a dark, dreary day; I think that would help.
I liked the album, with Thom Yorkes harrowing vocals, some good tracks on here
This album was fairly boring and mostly uneventful. Jigsaw Falling Into Place was the best song by far. I had high hopes because I liked The Bends earlier on the list, but I didn't really notice many similarities between the two albums. That's a good thing overall, but I just didn't like it nearly as much. Maybe one day I'll appreciate the album more.
First 2 songs had me thinking this might not be too bad. Third song fell into usual line. I must say, the drummer is a fucking metronome. Not noticed that on previous. Perhaps i’ve been thinking of RH the wrong way, as a band. Maybe i should think of them as composers and conductors. Forget about the usual drum fills, guitar solos, etc. How precise is each piece, how can thwy layer the instruments, get the music to swell and recede? I’d like to hear them live to make the judgement i think. Do they get hooked on am idea or two and obsess over that each song? Even the lyrics auggst this - not a lot of narrative, lots of repetition.
There's a line between soulful and plaintive, and this record unfortunately crossed it. I'm usually a big fan of Radiohead - even of controversial albums like Kid A and Amnesiac - but this one made me lose interest. The creativity and emotion are gone, replaced by rehashed formulas and gimmicks that feel like self-parody. Clearly their less inspired offering, and another proof in my opinion that most bands should stop making music after five albums. Still, I don't hate it. It's not an unpleasant listen, there's even a few nice moments, but overall it's just not original or memorable enough for me to bother. 6/10.
Good album. This is the last Radiohead album I had on the list and it was one of the better ones. It is a little less ambient than some of the others and falls a little closer to "The Bends" for me. Still not sure Radiohead is a band I will keep going back to, but this wasn't bad and I might even return to their discography at some point to see if I "get it" eventually. 3.5/5 Might listen again
It was a nice experience. I mean Radiohead is good. Very chill. Great for working just one or two songs where a little bit more relevant.
When to listen: at the beach, at night. Moody, moving, I enjoyed this album but it also felt very much in the background—it was hard to listen to it deeply. I enjoyed Faust Arp for a slow one and House of Cards
Man Radiohead is weird I don’t know what to think of it I guess starting off, Thom Yorke is a pretty great vocalist. I honestly can’t see this music working well with any other vocalist, and can see an absolute nightmare scenario where you had someone like Ian Dury as the vocalist and this would just be garbage. I really don’t know how to describe the sound, but it’s far from bad. Nothing’s painful, quite pleasant at times actually. Jigsaw Falling into Place was probably my favorite track, just think it’s the most well defined I do think it’s just a little artsy and the range just isn’t there. The instrumentation for a lot of songs is definitely on the minimal side sometimes, which isn’t a dealbreaker but not something I tend to like in music. I think it’s also just knowing Radiohead is capable of so much better makes me think they were kinda running out of ideas by this stage of their career This one was really interesting in terms of figuring out what I like and don’t like in music (which is the main reason I wanted to do 1001 in the first place), since it really challenged my criteria. Really agonized between a 3 or a 4 for this one but I think a 3 feels more accurate.
I was listening to this and there was a really cool song so I checked spotify to see the name and it turns out the album was over and autoplay was playing another album instead Radiohead is one of those bands thats very popular ive never heard, very much jerked off by redditors and the like. And honestly all I can say was that it reminded me of Coldplay
Self-released album from 2007. Fans were able to download and enjoy this music without the normal distribution. It was a huge success, winning Grammy awards and going platinum. Good songs, stripped down sounds, and a damn cool album cover. Liked it, not sure I loved it. But I will probably go back for another listen or two...
This is a band that people seem to either love or hate. I've always kinda liked them, but never rabidly. The only album of theirs I truly love is OK Computer, and the rest I've either had on in the background or never really listened to. This is one that I was certainly aware of (how could you not be when it was being offered for free), but never heard. When it started playing this morning I initially didn't really care for it. I was thinking how the haters might be on to something. As the album progressed I could appreciate the musicality, and by the last few songs I generally like it.. There are not standout songs for me, but this is very much a vibe album, which led to me really enjoying the overall experience. While I don't fall in either camp of loving or hating RadioHead, I can say that there was nothing in here that upset me, but nothing that interested me as the same time.
I enjoyed it, it had this unique sound that I really don’t know how to describe. When i try to think back to the album, All I Need starts playing in my head, truly amazing song.
No real hit songs, but an overall very steady, pretty strong record.
this was an unexpected hit for me! really fun and experimental, i feel like they were having fun exploring or reexploring their sound with this one
Very repetitive
Again, I can understand why some people like Radiohead its just not for me. Maybe if I got launched out of a spaceship and was slowly floating through space to my death.
6/10 Best songs: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling Into Place I've listened to less than 130 albums so far and I'm already on my third Radiohead album - and the second in about a week. I don't particularly think more than one of their albums should even be on this list. Why? Two reasons: I don't like Thom Yorke's slightly off-tune, perpetually apathetic, poorly enunciated vocals; and I don't like their music, which is always either in a minor key or just slightly off from sounding good. That being said... Radiohead is at its best when they go for a faster, or more conventionally poppy vibe - Bodysnatchers is far and away the best song I've ever heard by them, for example, and Reckoner's music is lovely. The slower songs tend to fall more into their typical pretentious wheelhouse, and I find them incredibly annoying to listen to. Anyways, I like this album more than the others I've heard by them, but I don't think it's particularly amazing. Sorry, but like, not really.
mid
no lhe escoltat encara
again, not the biggest fan but love the melancholy of some of these songs
Decent enough - no real standouts - prefer some of their other stuff from 90s
Me ha parecido un álbum molón, te haces un viaje astral de la hostia
This is fine, they have better but it’s still a good album to listen to
Not bad but getting tired of radiohead albums
Rock
First time listening to this album and I'm a well known Radiohead hater but this album is actually quite good? I was fully ready to just assume I only like their first 3 albums and nothing after that but turns out this one is quite good too 3/5
Another Radiohead opportunity. Oh good. This one was brilliantly dull.
🙂
On a scale of 10: 7/10
Good not great. Not my favorite album from radio head.
Ik luister hier vaak naar!! Maar enkel een paar liedje
Really nice! My favorites are "Nude", "Weird Fishes / Arpeggi" and "All I Need"
3.5
It indeed is an album
omg i immediately recognized the first song and after he sang 2 words it clicked. 15 step is the end credit song from twilight when victoria turns around and goes down the stairs after watching edward and bella dance outside at prom. okay now im excited nude is gonna put me to sleep. not as excited. someone said all the songs sound the same but faust arp does NOT sound like the closing credit song from twilight smh. favorite song: 15 step
5/10
Me gusta el sonido de las baterias y programaciones.
Not my favourite RH album but it’s good. I’ve listened to Nude, Weird Fishes and All I Need many times before so those are the standout tracks in my opinion. Jigsaw falling into place the best song; it’s noisy, fast and Tom yorke shouting like he means it. Last song follows it well with a shift in overall tone.
Das ist musikalisch alles ganz toll. Mir aber stellenweise zu komplex - bekomme keinen Zugang dazu. Ist aber gleichzeitig so unverwechselbar und ikonisch und langweilig zu sein. Bin echt hin und her gerissen .- bekommt die bestgemeinteste 3 die ich mir vorstellen kann.
This album feels like the midpoint of a suspension bridge. It’s decidedly lower than the apexes that are OK Computer and The Bends, but still an integral part of the the discography as a whole.
A heralded radiohead album but one that just doesn't connect with me the way the bends and ok computer does
Had this one already on my own
Takes me back to 2014, when I was in college. All the cool boys loved Radiohead. I like it, don't love it. Some songs were really great, but overall average in my personal ranking.
All of these songs are good on their own but, for possibly the first (or second) time, I dont think they work together as an album. I think I had this critique about another Radiohead album. Individually, they average out to a 4~ish but the sum of their parts isnt that good
It's alright. Better than Amnesiac. But this voice just grates on me after awhile
02/04/2026 I really do not understand the hype around Radiohead. It wasn't a bad album, but wasn't great. Spotify listeners: 43.8 million
Kinda the same vibes all the album
I could see listening to this album, but I would never just listen to any of the songs on their own. All or nothing.
Never been a big Radiohead fan, nothing wrong with them just never listened to them that much. This album was fine, but nothing special. I still don't understand the hype surrounding them.
kinda neat, i want to relisten.
Weird fishes is a really good song. Great production. House of cards is heat.
Liked, didn't love
Tiene albumes mucho mejores. El único tema que me "gusta" de este album es Jigsaw falling into place, poneeele que un poco All I need y alguno que otro mas. Yo quiero un album que me DEPRIMA no que me duerma
Didn't finish. Was cool but meh
Ni tan mal, nose si me pondria a escucharlo pero no me disgusto para nada.
Weird, but OK
I enjoyed this much more than Amnesiac but Radiohead still really just doesn't do it for me.
I don’t know. I really don’t like the way Thom Yorke swallows his words so you can’t understand him. But then when I see they are “I’m an animal trapped in your hot car”, I think that may be for the best. I added “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” to my Generator playlist.
something about radiohead music always feels both extremely loud and far away at the same time, but it may be especially pronounced today since i'm still hungover from a week of migraines. i feel bad because i've gone into radiohead before and i think i just dont like their music all that much. it's okay. i don't dislike listening to it.
Bravi, meglio di altri
9th grade crybaby classic. if you're dumb cry to this if you don't know music be dumb and cry to this
Very solid Radiohead release but far from my favourite. All I Need is the only real favourite of mine here.
Better than previous albums
I didn’t connect to this music, but I didn’t dislike it. Favorites were 15 step, weird fishes/arpeggi, and jogsaw falling into place. I would like to give it a couple more tries later since I like a couple radiohead songs and the genre.
Electro-indie mix with big vocals. Not really my bag, and you can hear here the beginning of the genre-muddying, middle-of-the road sound that defined pop music from about 2010 onwards. House of Cards is nice chill track. Best track - Weird Fishes 3 stars - sorry Radiohead, I just don't get it
Decent album, just overall not a big fan of Radiohead.
went into this album thinking it was gonna be worse than abhay. first 2 songs were the higlight for me and turned out to be pretty good. i dont usually listen to music like this but i would definitely listen to it again just not on the daily.
First experience with Radiohead. My favorite songs from this are the ones that feel haunting and heavy, even if the music is not
remember being underwhelmed at the time - not the best rasiohead album, hope the others are in here!
3,2/5
Pretty mid, all of it sounded the same, though the sound was very good throughout, not nearly as diverse as their other stuff
I hate to say this after all of my 1 star reviews for Radiohead, but I didn't hate this album
This feels like something an indoor cat would go turn on to mope to when her owners don’t let him outside
I’m a fan of Radiohead; however this isn’t my favorite.
Radiohead - In Rainbows. 2007 Album Art: Quite like the simplistically chaotic style of the album art. Reminds me of covers of book, CDs & some online website images from the early 2000's or late 1990's. The explosion & colours in the background resemble spilled or sprayed paint, while also reminding us of a cosmic explosion or nebula. It is utterly colourful with a unique display of the colours pertaining to a rainbow. The font is also so plain &, we feel, is really suited. If there was any more complicated a font on this cover it would loose this distinct style. A mix between simplistic structure, in the font, with the chaotic smashing of colours & lights in the background. The Album: Have a complicated mess of feelings with the music on this album (& maybe Radiohead). It is likely influenced from having heard, throughout my childhood, a lot of their music on repeat everywhere. Having that happen really spoils someone's enjoyment & want to engage with the art. But this album really felt, for lack of a better word. unique. Loved the art & music mash-up that is shown in the video clips against the sometimes simple lyrics & singing. There is something remote & sad about Thom Yorke's singing. Like listening to a far off dirge. Haunting to the core. Also felt like the album was artistic without becoming drenched in tactlessness. Especially while viewing the beautiful &, what felt like, thoughtful music video designs. May have had some tears well up while listening & watching "All I Need". A simple way to say an awful lot & place that weight on the listener/viewer. Favorite(s): Nude All I Need Reckoner
- Pretty good study music - More percussive than OK Computer - Not overly memorable - Liked 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place' - Love the album cover
Neću da hejtujem mnogo ali bila je borba slušati ceo album odjednom. Ima jedna ili dve pesme od ranije koje volim pa su me one spasile od osećaja čemera i tuge. Nisam ni fan vokala kad moram da slušam sve ove pesme u kontinuitetu, trebao sam pametnije malo da slušam sa nekim pauzama između njih jer mi se ovako nimalo ne dopada. Možda ću u budućnosti da prepravim ocenu idk, 3/5
Ok
Based on the song titles, I don’t think I know any of these songs. I’m obviously familiar with Radiohead in general, and even got The Bends as my first album last month, but this is going to be a completely fresh listening experience. • I really like the time feel of 15 Step, it’s a really good use of 5/4 • Bodysnatchers is a cool song too, I dig how consistent the beat and riff are • Nude makes for great staring out the window music • I have heard part of Weird Fishes before, in a Youtube video talking about how sparse the bassline is. I’m not sure if I’d have picked up on it without seeing that video, but the bass really does keep it super simple throughout the song, and it’s perfect for what the song’s going for • All I Need looks to be the most popular song on the album, but it might actually be the first that didn’t leave much of an impact on me • The falsetto throughout Reckoner helps make the song stand out While I don’t think this album was as good as The Bends, I still enjoyed listening to it. The songs all felt like they had something to give them their own identities, and they were all pleasing to listen to. Favourite song: 15 Step
1 - In Rainbows - Radiohead Good opener / jangly fun / second song is driving but don’t love it / Nude and Weird Fishes are Radiohead moody / All I Need has a cool beat, mellow but good… this album is Radiohead moody… some of it nice and vibey, some of it too weird or droning. No real standout songs on this and more of a mood than anything. It’s tough because Radiohead The Bends is a top album of all time - this isn’t, but does reflect the overall mood of Radiohead pretty well.
Was vibing with this one
