In rainbows is fantastic

Thumbs down.

not my favourite radiohead album but as always worth a listen and a big vibe. insanely well produced. it took me a long time to "get" radiohead but i think i get it now.

Terrible. Couldn’t get through it. Tried a couple times.

I knew nothing about Radiohead other than having heard "Creep". For some reason I thought they were heavy metal and I was very happy to discover that they weren't! I enjoyed this album and would welcome more.

No me gusta me parece todo igual

15 step - Great introduction, starting with a simple drum pattern and slowly turning the energy of the song up. The end of the song leaves you with just the right energy for the following - Body Snatchers - Struck me as a song that could be about body dysmorphia, with lines such as "They got a skin and they put me in, oh the lines wrapped 'round my face, Are for anyone else to see, I'm a lie" and "I'm trapped in this body and can't get out". The relatively high energy lends itself to an almost frantic trapped feeling. Nude - A short, much needed calm after the frenzy of Body Snatchers, Nude struck me as a song about just not getting it despite trying so hard, maybe too hard. The lyrics are short and bitter, backed by an orchestral ending that lulls you into a calm. Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi - Turning up the energy a little bit, the weirdest fish based love song I have ever heard backed with the most amazing music that perfectly accompanies the vocals and lyrics. All I need - "I'm an animal trapped in your hot car" was the line that really caught me. The melancholy tone of the music tells just as much of a story as the lyrics, and together paint a picture of either a stalker or a lopsided, unrequited love. The second half of the song picks up dramatically, rising to a crescendo of melodies all screaming loneliness and ending abruptly. Faust Arp - A simple "one two three four" count off starts the song led mainly by guitar melody, followed by a barrage of lyrics that are sung masterfully, but the meaning of which still escapes me. Despite that the song demanded multiple listens. Reckoner - Following the theme of the music throughout the album, Reckoner pairs another beautiful melody and beat with amazing vocals. An almost celebration of death or endings, Reckoner gave me images of death with it's scythe being sung to by an unafraid victim. House of Cards - A song about wanting what can't be had - "I don't wanna be your friend, I just wanna be your lover" "Throw your keys in the bowl, Kiss your husband goodnight" "Forget about your house of cards, and I'll do mine" Once again the percussion takes the lead and the melodies take a back seat, punctuating important pieces of the lyrics and filling one with a sense of longing for impossible things thoroughly. Jigsaw Falling Into Place - After the rather calm pace of House of Cards, Jigsaw jumps up and goes back to a faster pace, driven by a solid beat. Packed from beginning to end with lyrics that are masterfully written, I get a sense of a story about a one night stand at a bar and maybe regret after of a missed connection. Another abrupt stop on the song leads you to the calm final track of the album. Videotape - The piano sends a sense of beautiful dread, foreboding a calamitous end. "This is my way of saying goodbye, 'cause I can't do it face to face, I'm talking to you before, no matter what happens now, you shouldn't be afraid, because I know today has been, the most perfect day I've ever seen." A fitting ending note for the album. All together the album is a 5/5 - Would highly recommend. Favorite songs - Body Snatchers, Weird Fishes/ Apreggi, Videotape

This was the first album I have been given to listen to that I actually liked. Much better than the first Radio Head album.

Me pareció horrible. No lo pude terminar de escuchar!

Radiohead is one of those bands where I like a few individual songs and that’s it. This album feels a bit whiny.

Radiohead is a fantastic band and this album is fantastic!

Very nostalgic I remember this coming out and loving it. First Pay what you want record. Beautiful album altogether.

Liked the vibe and instrumentation although repetitive at times but wasn't a fan of the singing mumbling voice as I couldn't even understand the words sometimes.

I liked it. I deffo will be listening to radiohead a little more for sure :)

Quite liked this which surprised me, will definitely listen to this again and a bit more Radiohead in the future.

Be ready to catch these hands if you rate this album anything lower than a 5. I already listen to this album in full every other day. Can't really seem to go wrong with Radiohead, but this record is one of my all time favourites and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did

Took me a second to get into, but once I did I really enjoyed this album, it kept getting better with each song. The last four songs, but especially Jigsaw Falling Into Place really stood out to me. Ended up listening to it a second time and liked it even more.

Yeee that's what I'm talking about. This is the good stuff. Great tracks, put together brilliantly. I'd give it a 9.5 overall but seeing as I can't do that I'll have to round it up. F. Song = Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Love Radiohead. This album is so chill and perfect. Great for road trips or lounging around the house. Great ambiance. 8/10

Excellent guitar work. A bit choppy for me however I can see why they are respected. Not necessarily my cup of tea.

3/5takie do lecenia w tle. nie jestem fanem smętów

Top 5 album of all time for me

Wasn’t a fan of the style tbh

I’ve enjoyed listening to this album. The diversity of styles and musical elements kept it interesting throughout the album. I would definitely give it another listen if the opportunity arose, but I likely wouldn’t seek it out

Given Radiohead’s illustrious career, this is maybe their 4th or 5th best album, which says more about the quality of their output than any real shortcomings of this album. It feels like a natural successor to Hail to the Thief, building on that album’s sound without taking too many left turns. It starts out very heavy with 15 Step and Bodysnatchers, but then finds some beautifully uncomfortable quiet places punctuated by a subtle blend of acoustic and electronic elements. As with most Radiohead records, there is not a single bad or even mediocre song here. Even at 4th or 5th best in their catalog, still a 5 overall.

It's one of my favorite records.

Wohl Geschrummel, aber tatsächlich den Eindruck nach zwei Tagen schon wieder vergessen.

Este álbum tiene un lugar especial en mi corazón, porque es el favorito de una persona con la que ya no hablo más, pero la sigo queriendo. Sacando eso de lado, me acuerdo cuando lo escuché hace años en un feo momento y esto un poco me llevó de vuelta hasta ahí, está muy bueno, te hace compañía y te identificas mucho con las letras.

Clicky with thom whines. That may be too harsh some tinteresting parts

Not at all what I thought it would sound like. Ok but not really my thing.

- Interesting instrumentals, well executed, catchy. Great listen! - Not a big Radiohead fun, but still giving it a 4. - The opener, 15 Step, is a banger.

2/5 sadly too calmy

Great head music for the morning wake and bake

Only day two and onto the CLASSICS. Needed this today.

‚More recent‘ Radiohead. There are some breath taking songs, but the album overall is not my most favourite version of Radiohead

Interesting to listen to but didn’t love the dissonance or vocal style. Heard the band before.

The final Radiohead album on this list. Whilst I understand the band are all great musicians and make complex and creative music, none of it so far has clicked with me. If I was musical myself and if I had any understanding music theory I may better appreciate what they do, but that's not the way I engage with music, nor is it how I would wish to engage with music. Too clinical and cold. What a delight it is, then, to find In Rainbows to be warmer and much less detached than the previous Radiohead albums. This one does get me on an emotional level and was therefore a much more engaging, rewarding and enjoyable listen. Rating: 4/5 Playlist track: Reckoner Date listened: 04/01/24

Always depressing, but this time with more electronic sounds!

Technically perfect, beautiful drums . A tad morose.

Not the biggest fan.

Inte lika fängslande som andra Radiohead skivor. Häftiga ljudvärldar

Need to give it a more full listen but I’ve loved everything I’ve heard so far

Lots of higher voices and cool recording techniques. Great background album while working.

Good stuff!

Zu kraß

2.5 rounded up. "Weird fishes/Arpeggi" and "House of Cards" are the stand out tracks. This is easy listening Radiohead.

Enjoyable from start to finish. Very interesting listen, Also the story of how the album came out is really cool. Not as good as The Bends but definitely great in its own right.

Really liked it. Don't know why I didn't listen when it first came out.

Прикольный инди альбом с экспериментальной музыкой, звучит очень приятно, разнообразно и круто

IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHASHhgSJDgaukfoawhe;ghew;hwaeuwae;hfwae safhkjashdfjawg,df (cums pants and fucking dies) 10/10

I listened to this album so much trying to understand it completely, I even did the crossfade transition with ok computer, but I don't think I fully got it, I liked the songs Nude, Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi, All I need, and maybe House of Cards. I'm giving it a 5/5 cause I think my friend would hate me if I gave it any less, doing this makes me regret giving "Architecture and Mortality" a 4/5 cause that one I really enjoyed not unlike my other 5/5 but I listen to it casually and I really really enjoyed it.

WHAT A VIBE Came into this album having a preconceived notion of what Radiohead sounded like and it wasn’t necessarily completely off, but this was way better than what I anticipated. Some of the songs I could appreciate but acknowledge I wouldn’t want to hear on a daily or even annual basis - they were good just not for me. A few of the songs made me instantly think that a new playlist should be started and that it fits winter so well. The lyrics probably need another listen for a proper dissection but for me what really stuck out was the entire vibe. The guitar tones were realllyyyy nice too. 8/10

not my usual genre, but i did like it. i liked the vibes and it wasn’t too angsty which i usually associate with these type of bands, so i liked that. a bit too repetitive and a few too many guitar solos, but i would listen again.

While I never listen to this genre, low key had a good time listening. Fs the most experimental album I’ve ever listened to. Best song(s): House of Cards, 15 step Worst song(s): All I need

- "In Rainbows" ist das einzige Album von Radiohead (ich weiß, OK Computer undso, Asche über mein Haupt...) was ich recht viel gehört hab. Lasse hat mir damals "Reckoner" gezeigt und ich war hin und weg. - Unfassbar geile Platte - So ein eigener Sound. Entspannt und aufregend zugleich. - Das Album wird einfach nicht langweilig. Es kommt immer wieder eine neue Idee, ein neuer Ansatz, ohne dabei in irgendeiner Form verworren zu sein - Mix aus Indi/Alternative und elekrtonischen Ambient mit psychedelischen Einflüssen - "Reckoner" ist für mich nach wie vor einfach einer der geilsten Songs überhaupt - Keine Ahnung warum ich immer nur bei diesem Album hängen geblieben bin, hab grad richtig Bock mich mit Radiohead zu beschäftigen! Rating: 4,5/5

- MOODY AS FUCK!!! - Ich kann nicht beschreiben, was mich an diesem Album so derbe abgeholt hat. Diese "Laid Back"ness, die Abwechslung und der Ideenreichtum oder der Gesamteindruck dieses unfassbar runden Albums - neben treibenden und dynamischen Songs wie Bodysnatchers und 15 Step heben einen besinnliche und deepe Stücke wie Faust Arp und Nude wieder runter und düstere und athmosphärische Songs wie All I Need, Reckoner und Videotape setzen den Ton der Platte - Ich hatte so gut wie nichts auszusetzen außer, dass es ein bis zwei Songs gibt, die nach gaaaaanz so stark sind wie die anderen. Ansonsten einfach ein tolles, wunderbares Album (vielleicht auch für den Plattenschrank) 4,75/5

- hat mich mega abgeholt - nach einem stressigen Morgen ging es für die Weihnachtstage in die Heimat. Mit wärmenden Sonnenschein im Gesicht, wärmte mich die Platte auf der Fahrt dazu gefühlt noch seelisch durch - hat mich an dem Tag einfach komplett geflasht und mir ein wenig aus dem Stress geholfen Rating: 5/5

A life changing album for me. I listened for the first time on my Toshiba Gigabeat while walking to school in the rain. I thought nude was the best, it was on that skins advert after all, but recliner stopped me in my tracks and I sat in the rain to listen to it around 7 times before I continued my journey, late for form and soggy. It's followed me about since, love it - just extremely wonderful.

Overall great album, lots of interesting melody lines to give kind of a out-of-body vibe, some of the tracks are abit too down/gloomy for me and I didn't like the transition between house of cards - jigsaw falling into place. 3.5

In Rainbows è il settimo album in studio del gruppo rock inglese Radiohead. È stato autoprodotto il 10 ottobre 2007 come download a pagamento, seguito da una versione fisica a livello internazionale tramite XL Recordings e in Nord America tramite TBD Records. È stata la prima uscita dei Radiohead dopo la fine del loro contratto discografico con la EMI con il loro album Hail to the Thief (2003). I Radiohead iniziarono a lavorare su In Rainbows all'inizio del 2005. Nel 2006, dopo che le sessioni di registrazione iniziali con il nuovo produttore Spike Stent si rivelarono infruttuose, la band fece un tour in Europa e Nord America, eseguendo il nuovo materiale. Dopo aver arruolato nuovamente il produttore di lunga data Nigel Godrich, i Radiohead hanno registrato nelle case di campagna Halswell House e Tottenham House, all'Hospital Club di Londra e nel loro studio nell'Oxfordshire. Hanno incorporato una varietà di stili, utilizzando la strumentazione rock convenzionale più strumenti elettronici, archi, pianoforte e ondes Martenot. I testi sono meno politici e più personali rispetto ai precedenti album dei Radiohead. La EMI, che era stata recentemente acquisita da Terra Firma, sperava di firmare con i Radiohead un nuovo contratto discografico; tuttavia, i Radiohead non si fidavano del nuovo management e le trattative fallirono sulla proprietà del loro catalogo precedente. Invece, hanno autoprodotto In Rainbows online e hanno permesso ai fan di fissare il proprio prezzo, affermando che questo li ha liberati dai formati promozionali convenzionali e ha rimosso le barriere per il pubblico. L'uscita "paga quello che vuoi", la prima per un atto importante, attirò l'attenzione dei media internazionali e creò un dibattito sulle implicazioni per l'industria musicale; molti hanno elogiato i Radiohead per aver sfidato vecchi modelli e trovato nuovi modi per connettersi con i fan, mentre altri hanno ritenuto che costituisse un pericoloso precedente a scapito degli artisti di minor successo. I Radiohead hanno promosso In Rainbows con webcast, video musicali, concorsi di remix e video musicali e un tour mondiale. "Jigsaw Falling into Place" e "Nude" furono pubblicati come singoli; "Nude" è diventata la prima canzone dei Radiohead nella top 40 degli Stati Uniti dal loro singolo di debutto "Creep" (1992). L'uscita al dettaglio di In Rainbows ha raggiunto la vetta della classifica degli album del Regno Unito e della Billboard 200 degli Stati Uniti, e nell'ottobre 2008 aveva venduto oltre tre milioni di copie in tutto il mondo; è certificato platino nel Regno Unito e Canada e oro negli Stati Uniti, Belgio e Giappone. In Rainbows ha ricevuto il plauso della critica, vincendo i Grammy Awards per il miglior album di musica alternativa e il miglior pacchetto in scatola o edizione speciale limitata, ed è stato classificato come uno dei migliori album dell'anno e del decennio da varie pubblicazioni. Rolling Stone ha incluso In Rainbows nella sua lista aggiornata dei 500 migliori album di tutti i tempi al numero 336 nel 2012 e al numero 387 nel 2020.

Love Radiohead, but not this album

7ème album. Pay-what-you-want album. Il y a un son, comment dire, très synthétisé? I like it pas mal. Des sons éclectiques que j'aime bien qui viennent m'apaiser. Très belle expérience d'écoute overall.

Enjoyed as advertised, now to relisten with some lyric sheets

Not for I

pretentious

Pretty good alt rock album. It was an easy listen for someone who's not a big Radiohead fan. I like alt rock, so there's that. Nothing profound to say about it other than it was good.

Kind of a mellow offering. Was pleasant.

A couple decent songs, but most of the songs are just a 1 bar riff repeated ad nauseam with the singer whining over the top of it. There’s no memorable hook, no powerful bridge, no dynamic changes in most of the songs.

I've listened to other Radiohead albums in the past but never to any of the songs off of this one. I liked quite a few songs off of this, but Radiohead is a bit difficult for me to rate because I find that I have to be in a specific mood and setting to listen to and enjoy their songs, plus their music was a bit of an acquired taste if I'm being totally honest. So I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars.

Many remember this for the manner in which it was released ("pay what you want"), I more remember it for the first Radiohead album that came out after I was already an unabashed fan. Doesn't quite reach the heights of their preceding albums but still very, very good.

Starts great, but gets a bit repetitive. Wonderfully produced

Musically I liked this. I wish I could understand even 20% of what Thom Yorke sings.

This one is good. Changes my opinion of Radiohead a bit.

Tweaked out future soul.

Seichter Art Rock.

Good album, went by fast. Not sure where this album comes in the discography but ok computer is better.

I am really really really really liking Radiohead these days. Just listened to this album a few weeks ago, still need a bunch more listens of all of their albums to get a better feeling of them all. I have a friend who is an obsessive Radiohead fan who said that In Rainbows was his favorite and a good portion of the rabid fan community seems to agree. I believe that Radiohead is the next incarnation of Pink Floyd and much of their creative direction. I liked In Rainbows a lot; nothing stood out as being smashingly good to me like on a few other Radiohead works. I really don’t think I can give this a better or more critical review without a few more listens. A solid four star that will probably get better with time.

This ones pretty good. However it felt like it faded into background music very quickly. Good background music but I dont feel like it engaged me very much. I think I will still give it 3.5 stars but its closer to 4

Listened at home while eating and playing catan

Radiohead at their best. Still experimental, but warm like a trusted blankie.

Good stuff. Radiohead never disappoints.

Still not OK Computer.

I actually think it might be the best Radiohead album. OK Computer will always have the special place in my heart, but In Rainbows probably beats it really. It's so welcoming, in stark contrast to quite a lot of Radiohead, and I think is definitely Thom's greatest vocal performance. He really shines on the slower songs like Nude and All I Need, while the power of the band (particularly Phil) are more evident in 15 Step, Weird Fishes or the Reckoner. Add into this astonishing piece of music the anti-industry method of release, and you have something really special. It's incredible that anyone could listen to this and still hold any of the clichéd RH views. The only bit I didn't enjoy was picking a favourite. I knew it would be Jigsaw, but then the final gut punch of Videotape comes along and blows you away so totally. Those lyrics! Best record of the Project so far.

Album 252 of 1001 Radiohead - In Rainbows Rating : 3.5 / 5 Wasn't blown away but didn't mind listening. Kind of 'meh'. Haven't listened to a lot of Radiohead so don't know how it compares to their others. I'll find out, at some point.

With the universal approbation Radiohead receives, I would like to like them, but they don't do anything for me. The further you get into their discography, the less they appeal to me. My heart is teflon; Radiohead doesn't stick. I don't know. Maybe this is like how other bands grew on me over time, so it's possible that I'll discover what everyone else hears when they listen to Radiohead, but for now they remain the World's Most Overrated Band.

fantastic magic impressive amazing super mega harosh

I once imagined a sci-fi saga about telepaths, it took place in the future, in the 24th century. I even wrote a novel telling the first events of the sweeping story I had in mind. And as I did so, I took notes to envision what the perfect soundtrack for that long yarn would sound like... I will probably never write the rest of my story, sadly. But if I had done so, "All I Need" would be the very last song heard in the saga. A perfect capper for a tale filled with troubled characters caught in the stir of history, longing for each other, and yet--in spite of their psychic powers--unable to communicate their true feelings to one another. At the very end, there's only the promise of an afterlife to give those characters some frail hope that they could start it all over again--and thus, finally merge their souls with the ones they truly loved during their short lives. I don't remember wanting to use another song from *In Rainbows" to illustrate my story. But in a way, each and every track of this perfect LP could match with my melancholic musings about alienation and unrequited love--whether expressed through my story idea or elsewhere, in other sorts of tales. *Videotape*, for instance, could provide precious inspiration for a scene about grief and nostalgia. When I saw Radiohead live, Thom Yorke gave a memorable performance from start to finish, but it's the memory of that particular song that stuck with me. A few words about how the song works might be useful to describe that fond memory. On the surface, *Videotape*'s rhythm pattern sounds simple, but it's actually incredibly complex (check out the You Tube videos about it). So I remember Thom sitting in front of his upright piano, starting the very first chords of the song, and then slamming the keys, mad with with sudden anger and frustration. The band stopped playing at once. Thom didn't have the right tempo in mind. Then, he collected his thoughts, started afresh, and finally gave a perfect rendition of the composition. I was in tears. I was not only in tears because this piece of music was great and it was the first time I had ever listened to it. It was during a tour that took place *before* *In Rainbow*'s release, you see, hence why I didn't know the song yet. I was also in tears because of the small fuck-up that started it. To me, it's the sort of event that perfectly encapsulates who Radiohead are. They're *not only* about ambition and grand epic gestures. They can also focus on human frailty, absurd little moments, all sorts of routine moments as experienced by us all in our modern lives. Radiohead's music, as groundbreaking or sweeping as it can be, is still in touch with our human condition--and all the conflicting emotions that go with it. Maybe I will write my story after all... Now I know that a scene about a piano player will be in it. He will make blunders as he plays the first chords of the song, and then start again, and then make everyone cry in the room. Thanks a bunch, Thom. Number of albums left to review: 355 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 292 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 154 Albums from the list I won't include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 206

Radiohead is one of those bands I always feel like I’m supposed to like more than I do. I hadn’t heard this one before and it was pleasant background music if not attention grabbing.

This is the 5th Radiohead album on this list. Completely unnecessary. This is very similar to all of the other Radiohead albums. It is bad. Not the worst on the list but not any good. I will round down in order to be consistent with the other Radiohead albums. They are indistinguishable at this point.

Too indulgent and dramatic. Not my favorite Radiohead album for sure.

This is probably the best experience I've had listening to Radiohead - either i'm starting to 'understand' a bit better or this is just a really great record. Or both. Although highlights for me were House Of Cards and Bodysnatchers and they are in the lower half for Spotify play count so even when I like Radiohead I like the songs other people don't I guess haha

Best album of all time (it's literally the same age as me and we were born on the exact same date). Also gay. Also fuck you Thom I want my happiness back

I love Radiohead. And this album is no exception. Haunting and beautiful. Perfect way to close out the work week.

Love love this album. Lyrics, music, Thom's voice. Arpegios

Liked it, a couple of really great songs. My favorite is still OK Computer.

15 step: Great bass, 5/4, children Body snatchers: amazing bridge amazing guitar amazing song Nude: less interesting but still great Weird fishes: completely surreal I love it All I need: the buildup Faust arp: one of the best Reckoner: transcendent House of cards: reckoner part 2 Jigsaw: Holyshit Videotape: good as a closer mid overall

I need to re listen to it

Liked it but this record doesn’t bring anything too surprising nor interesting to the Radiohead prisma.

This is a really neat album. Some Alice in Wonderland meets Post Punk vibes. A lot of neat experimentation and very satisfying as a whole. Fav tracks: Bodysnatchers, Weird Fishes / Arpeggi, All I Need

Easily one of the greatest albums of all time.

Not my vibe as an overall album, but I like a few tracks. 15 step is a standout

This might be my 4th favourite Radiohead album. Easy 5 :D

This album is so good and it’s still not a top 5 Radiohead album.

The first album in this project that I own on vinyl. Radiohead are my Beatles and this is one of their best. They do what other bands can't which is evolve, stay ahead of their fanbases and maintain an incredible level of quality. This album has some of the best Radiohead tracks ever, but I can pick anything out as the album is so good. I'm giving this 5 stars but it's also made me wish I'd not given previous 5 stars out as this is a cut above.

My favourite Radiohead album. The songs have such an energy that hasn't been recaptured in their work before or since. I'd say it's their most accessible album. Every instrument and note has a purpose and every time I listen to it I hear new elements. It's recorded beautiful and every element can be heard clearly. An incredible album that has aged beautifully.

I heard about this album when it came out but I was too cool for "current music" at the time. But it's honestly just prog mixed with James Blake and that's pretty darn great! Very pleased with it and worth a few more listens.

4/5 because if Kid A and OK Computer at 5/5 this has to be lower

Very good, bit subdued for me but very good low-key music

Favs: All I need, reckoner

I generally like Radiohead, but some of his albums don't engage me as much as others. This is one of the less engaging ones. Only one song stood out to me as memorable.

I love this album. Every song hits. It’s full of emotion, the lyrics are great, thom’s vocals are pristine and angelic. The drums on this thing are hypnotic, the pattern on weird fishes is so good. Nude is devastating. The distortion and rage of body snatchers is cathartic. Videotape sounds like I’m dying alone in a dungeon. All I need is what took me to that dungeon. Perfect album.

Legendary.

more like boringhead hehehehehehehahahaha

All time favorite

This is Radiohead at the peak of their powers. What's remarkable is I'm not sure any of these songs would be in anyone's top five radiohead songs. But half of them are probably in my top 10. This is one of the few LPs where you are compelled to listen end to end. The sequence and transitions from song to song are brilliant. Just like a jigsaws falling into place.

I really need to spend some more time with Radiohead. It was raining while listening to this and House Of Cards and Videotape stole the show for the vibe.

I would have said this is my second favorite Radiohead album after "Kid A", but you know what? It might tie for first place. It doesn't hurt that it came out while I was living in Japan, deep in the honeymoon phase, where everything was groovy. Love the atmosphere of this album, blending urgency with otherworldly - exactly my jam. Fave tracks - "Videotape" is such a badass closer. Most of the other tracks could get individual mentions, too. And if we're expanding things to disc 2, "Last Flowers" is stunning...

Great sound and continuity. Very holistic sound to the whole album, but still songs differ and feel unique. Some banger guitar in most songs. Highlights are weird fishes, Reckoner and jigsaw falling into place, but the other song are also amazing

Still remember when that one came out, it caused a bit of a stir. Love ti as most of Radiohead albums

best radiohead album weird fishes/arpeggi 10/10

Brilliant. Really needs good speakers or headphones to immerse yourself in.

- Chill vibes while listening - Make me want to relax - Could listen to this album at night before bed

One of my favorite albums by radiohead

Excellent album. Could listen to this forever.

One of my favorite records of the past 20 years. Every track hits.

There’s a warmth here that was missing from some of the other albums.

I harbored some naive dreams about the internet freeing us from the stranglehold of the Content Monopolies (don't laugh kids) and was very excited by the unconventional release of this. I'm not sure it belongs on the list of the absolutely essential Radiohead. Listening to it for the first time in a long while, I found it held up, but also held the same flaw I originally perceived: the first half is very strong but it lags considerably on the back half.

Every track is beautiful. A masterpiece

Sometimes wonder why certain albums get selected - assume this one is here because of the 'pay what you want' thing - it's not their best album and nothing really notable about it.

I love this so much. I have nothing clever to say.

Super chill vibes.

Played, but kind if got lost in the background. One to give your full attention to maybe.

Excellent album. Radiohead has a way of evolving on each album. Favorite tracks are Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird Fishes, and Jigsaw Fallin into Place. Some of their best work.

Ok. Not funny. I liked the Bends but two albums later? Cmon. This is radiohead at peak fart sniffing pretentiousness.

Not my fave band. Decent but too whiny for me

10/10. my early adolescence. this is in my all time top 10, maybe 5

Get ekki bent á veikan hlekk. Þvílíkur perfectionismi hjá bandinu. Allt útpælt. Soundið frábært og ekki skemmir framtíðarsýnin, fokk jú á plötusölu, gefum plötuna á netinu. Reckoner, House of cards og Jigsaw mögulega besta lagaþrenna á plötu allra tíma. Besta plata Radiohead. Melody is dead, rythm is king.

Þessi plata er einfaldlega snilldarverk,ekkert meira um það að segja. Engir hittarar en líklega heildstæðasta Radiohead platan.

Most Radiohead albums I can only appreciate like a beast observed in the wilderness: I can see and hear the beauty and power, but I don’t feel invited to go up and snuggle. I love In Rainbows. This and Moon Shaped Pool are the only two Radiohead albums that I truly love. Radiohead have always been an enigma to me: why do people love this complicated, somewhat whiny band with a lead singer you can’t understand, and obtuse music that is nether especially rocking or especially spacey: caught in the Twilight Zone. Lyrics and vocals have always been central to my love of music, but since my older brother loved Radiohead and would anticipate each new release with excitement, I tried my best to find something to love. In Rainbows cracked the code. Here was an album with grooving, energetic, rocking music that nonetheless maintained that complex core, while also inviting the listener to enjoy and partake in their musical joy. It offered me a greater appreciation for their other work. Bonus props to them for the unique release strategy.

Each track has something cool happening musically that is made worse by Thom Yorke screeching over it. His voice actively detracts from everything. It fit well with their early material but as the band branched out in different directions his voice couldn't keep up.

Solid album but definitely had some obscurity to it. I’m not familiar with radioheads game so not sure where this falls on their discography, but I’d dint hate it. And I’d probably listen to some of these songs again.

not in my top 3 radiohead albums. Took me a while to come around to the very punchy avant-garde sounds throughout many of the tracks. All I need is in my top 7 radiohead songs though so gets a bump for that.

Good album. Jigsaw and bodysnatchers stuck out to me this listen

perfect vibe for the day - it delivered for me

Gloomy and mellow, with plenty of imaginative ideas to keep the listener intrigued. "No matter what happens now, you shouldn't be afraid because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen" Lovely lyrics on the closing track! A pleasant way to end the album.

I've heard a lot of hype behind this album, so I think the fact that it didn't click with me is a pretty good indicator that Radiohead just isn't my bag. Which is a shame because there's a good amount of interesting instrumentation here. But the vocals are just something I can't get behind, and as a side-effect the lyrics often slip by as well. Not to say that there's I think is bad here, just nothing mind-blowing to me. Highlight: Jigsaw Falling Into Place Lowlight: Bodysnatchers Surprise Hit: Faust Arp

enjoyed the eclectic nature. I tend to enjoy this artist in general, they didn't disappoint.

I've listened to this before. I wanted to give it a 3 before re-listening. Then I listened again. It's so good. Minimum a 4.

I feel like this is an artist I should like a lot but they aren’t clicking with me like that. I think it’s fine, but I don’t really love anything I’ve heard from them so far.

Not an album that I would listen on a daily basis. Overall the album itself, at the moment for me is a 6.5/10. I should give another listen.

Yeah, obviously I'm just really not a Radiohead fan

Dun dun dun, oh oh oh.

I've made a number of attempts to get into Radiohead over the years and I've never been able to. I remember this coming out, and running it was a cool idea but I don't think I picked it up. I'm not sure why, the match on paper never translated. First few songs on this I found really enjoyable but it did fall off for me after and picked up again, relatively speaking. Four stars.

Radiohead make great music and In Rainbows could possibly be one of their best, but it's not my favourite (that goes to The Bends). Relistening this album for the first time in a long time, this was such a great experience. I probably should have listened to their albums in order to enjoy their musical transformation. I think this album hits that perfect combination of the old Indie/Art rock Radiohead and the more experimental rock styles they started doing beginning with OK Computer. Standouts: Nude, Weird Fishes / Arpeggi, All I Need, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Videotape

Still don’t like Radiohead. Two stars because they are able to play their instruments. But that’s it

You know, I thought I knew this album, but in retrospect, I haven't really listened to it all the way through since it first came out, aside from my brief interest in the then-ubiquitous "0110" playlists that attempted to weave OK Computer and In Rainbows into some 10-year mega-project. All in all, it's a quieter, more focused experience than I had built up in my head. It's also so much more compelling than I remembered (or expected, after I realized I didn't recognize it as much as I thought), and I suspect it has a lot to do with my last 16 years of growth as a musician and producer. The engineering and production of this album is insane. It's unbelievably precise while demonstrating mastery of a wide range of production/performance techniques. I want to call the album cozy, but it's not comfortable - it's eerie and beautiful. It's intimate, but only in the same sense that a fireside conversation with the last, dying scion of a noble bloodline in their otherwise cold, dark castle is intimate. This is vampire music. The drums are so clear and punchy, despite sounding tiny - a lot of the individual instruments sound tiny to me as if they're all miniature musicians in a cupboard somewhere, but that doesn't detract from the overall impact of the music. If anything, the perceived smallness draws me in further, only to be submerged by the wash of experience that each song inevitably crashes over my head. It's hard to explain why, but I feel like this album works especially well because it isn't one super hit after another - there are some obvious "singles" in the mix (Bodysnatchers, Weird Fishes / Arpeggi, Reckoner, maybe Jigsaw Falling Into Place), but the beauty is in the sum of the whole, and the whole album delights, distresses, destroys me. Hugely inspirational and aspirational. A surprising 5/5 for me.

downloaded 4,8,9,10. was familiar with jigsaw falling into place before but most of the album is slow for me in a way i wish i could appreciate more - but i cant. rock on radiohead tho...

twas good. Didn't pay enough attention cause was doing stuff but i enjoyed it

Pretty chill

iha ok, vähä ehk liia tunteellinen mun makuuni

It got weird

Cat: I really like this! Very creative and different AJ: my first new Radiohead album. At least the first new one I cared about. First one I was there for? It’s pretty good.

Not the best radiohead songs

Not their best

I gave up roughly a third of a way through the album. It's got small moments I like but as a whole it's too experimental for me.

quirky ass indie kids will do tricks for this album like it’s tony hawk pro skater, but they’re not wrong to do so (just know you’re annoying af)

I guess we're just getting my worst Radiohead take out of the way now. Don't particularly love the second half of this album, but there definitely are some tracks I adore on here.

Gotta love it.

ein angenehmes hörerlebnis, kann man sich immer geben. ein klassischer favorit, perfektes album für schöne sommertage oder eine listening session nebenbei

bodysnatchers weird fishes reckoner jigsaw falling into place

It was the first time I listened to Iin Rainbows and I feel I should listen to this album more to rate it, because it takes more time to get into Radiohead's music. It is more chill and perhaps emotional than other albums I listened to by this band, but I preferred their other albums so far (The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A) except one (Hail To The Thief). Now I'm giving it a 3.5 out of 5.

Man, Radiohead isnt even one of my personal favorite bands, but I cant deny how consistently great they are. They got at least 3 or 4 almost perfect albums, and this is one of them.

Brilliant record! I think this was the first one I ever listened by Radiohead. While mostly put a little behind Kid A and Ok Computer, I put it above Kid A. What is left to be said about this band, they write some of the best songs in the rock/alt/prog genre and they deliver always. 9 out of 10

This album is just beautiful from start to finish. I still probably prefer OK Computer, but In Rainbows is a close second, and All I Need is my favourite of their songs.

Really nice listen! Easy to tune out and tune in

Radiohead remains a band where I need to listen to their albums a few times in order to “get” it. I preferred Kid A to this though.

3.5 Syns Radiohead er litt overvurdert jeg:0

Thom Yorke's vowels-only caterwauling will never qualify as singing

Only listened once. Radiohead is kind of hard to get into. Can never understand Thom Yorke singing but they have their own sound for sure. I would give this another shot (and probably will) but for now 2 stars

Fantastic!

You used to be alright, what happened? Your mouth moves only when someone's hand's up your ass. You paint yourself white and fill up with noise but there'll be something missing. Everybody leaves when they get the chance and it's my chance. I'm just an insect trying to get out of the night. I love you but enough is enough, enough of that stuff. Reckoner, you can't take it with you. Throw your keys in the bowl, kiss your husband goodnight. Come on and let it out, before you run away from me. You are my center when I spin away, out of control on videotape.

"In Rainbows" is Kid Amnesiac Part 3 to me, which is to say that I love it, as much as I love "Kid A" and "Amnesiac." There are 4 Radiohead albums I don't like (only 1 less than the number I do like), including the one between "Amnesiac" and "In Rainbows" (called "Hail to the Thief"). So, I'm definitely not a Radiohead fan that just likes their entire output. However, like many Radiohead fans felt, at least at the time, "In Rainbows" was a return, and their whole stunt of putting it out for free (or whatever donation people wanted to give) made it a big deal. I also have a personal nostalgia, in a way, because my Dad knew I liked Radiohead and really tried to use it as a point of "bonding" to bring it up, talk about it, and ask me about it.

stand out track - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi

Thom wihth an H

In Rainbows by Radiohead is a solid indie rock/ambient outing

Pretty good

не успела много послушать, но в целом тоскливовато. возможно потому что уирд фишез слишком много раз слышала (кавер)

Radiogłowa zawsze wjeżdża

Not my favorite Radiohead album

so good and so much originality and emotion. Excellent album for Radiohead.

Hot take - better than OK Computer.

Honestly echt mooi would listen again

great album... but perhaps not THE greatest.

What a beautiful fucking album. Favorite(s): 15 Step, Nude, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, All I Need, Reckoner, Videotape

An experience to listen to

15 steps is good but overall the album is too abstract to my liking

Great, Radiohead produced this disk. I remember I downloaded the version legally and free from their website. A good album, not the best Radiohead album. 3.75.

I really liked it. It was a lot more chilled than most of the stuff that I listen to, which I enjoyed. Pretty grungy sound and the lyrics were hard to decipher, but the melodies were legendary.

Excellent album - takes me back to late night’s programming on a deadline and knowing it was all going to be alright. Thanks Thom Yorke.

I don't really like Radiohead, so this is going to be tough. I liked 15 Step until the beat did a weird change-up. Bodysnatchers is solid the whole way through, maybe I like it because of the straightforwardness. The subtleness of the instrumentation can be cool to notice.

perfection

Its not bad, just not my vibe at the moment. Shoutout to Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi, a classic Made me want to listen to Jaydiohead Reckoner has a sick beat, reminds me of Ratatat

Groundbreaking release format. Great album to boot.

I like this album best when it doesn’t know what genre it wants to be— or, perhaps when it wants to everything all at once.

Highlights: 15 Step, House Of Cards. In a nutshell: an abstract evolution. Overall: 7/10

Relaxing, my favourite track - nude Wouldn't normally listen to this normally but enjoyed the album

Amazing album with an incredible focus on dynamics and experimentation.

Have listened to this album many times before, but paid more attention to the lyrics this time. Made me feel sad and happy, a bit wistful.

Ok but not terribly memorable. I liked “All I Need”.

One of my favourites for a long time - In Rainbows never gets old. Radiohead at their most in control. A really accessible album, with warmth and texture throughout. Really love the stripped back guitar sounds paired with the excellent percussion. From the opener, 15 Steps, through the incredible Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, to my all time favourite, Reckoner. I could, and will, listen to this endlessly.

Saw them on this tour in Victoria Park, London - the one and only time I've seen them live. A perfect Radiohead album. Is it their best? Maybe... depends on what day it is and what mood I'm in.

Started off strong and somewhat fell off near the end. Listened to twice on a bike ride and it wasn’t quite what I needed tempo-wise, but still a pretty solid album.

This was... trippy? I don't know what I really expected but it wasn't this. Overall it was good but I don't know if I'll come back to it anytime soon.

My experience with Radiohead (Pablo Honey, A Moon Shaped Pool, random top-hits) is usually described as this: a slow burn. And, that continues with this album. I don't hear anything specifically that I don't like, I like all of the ingredients, it's excellent as excellent as down-tempo, drone music, but my brain tells me it's worth more. It's like learning a foreign language—I need to immerse myself in it, and give it more time and it'll start making sense eventually. All that being said, I'm not sure why this particular album is highlighted versus others from them. Favorite tracks: Weird Fishes / Arpeggi, All I Need, Reckoner, House of Cards.

I think this is the only Radiohead album that I would choose to listen to in its entirety. I haven't listened to a ton of their albums, but I like this better than "OK Computer." That being said...it's fine. It's got some good tracks, like 15 Step and All I Need. I think this was the "pay whatever you want for it" album, which was a cool idea in the age of music sharing/piracy.

I didn’t get Radiohead’s popularity in the 90s, but I do really like this.

While there are moments of sheer atmospheric beauty I felt unfulfilled by the end. This is a strike against it. A while back I learned that I need to consider Yorke's vocals as an additional instrument rather than a vocalist and that helps my ability to enjoy the band. That said I bet I would like instrumental tracks a tad more.

OK for Radiohead.

I've tried and failed to get into late period Radiohead. I love the mid-90s stuff but this is all to avant-garde for my ears. That said, I enjoyed this and there were some beautiful moments. Another listen required.

Réécouté, ambiance qui va de planante/introspective à angoissante. Petit ventre mou au milieu avec des titres qui se ressembles, mais bon album

Top shelf.

Good stuff, nothing wrong with it tbh but it’s just not like my FAVORITE thing even tho I don’t rlly have any problems with it. pretty cool

Really big fan of this one. Haven't listened to a ton of Radiohead, but this one was pretty good the whole way through. Reckoner and Weird Fishes are my choice picks.

Wow this was great

Its good

One of my favorite albums in the world. No notes.

I love this album. It's one of my favorites so it's hard to listen to objectively, but I think it's musically brilliant and full of yearning, tenderness and depth. My favorite tracks are 15 Step, Nude and Video Tape.

More bias and not because I got it for free when released (I didn't, probably bought for £3 from Fopp). Wafty bleepy Radiohead is much preferred to 90s angst. Forgot how much I loved House of Cards. Feel bad for not giving I Am A Bird Now 5 so I'll 5 this.

Hard to describe other than musically mature, beautiful and melodic. No real “hits” but really enjoyed the interplay between the band and the layers upon layers of cool sound. Tom Yorke sounds much more grown up as an artist and didn’t mind his voice this time. I never really listened to this album back in the day and missed out.

Love it. First album that has come up on here that I've already head dozens of times.

Best Songs: 15 steps, All I Need, Reckoner Nude has amazing vocals (reminds me of Creep)

15 Step - 8.5/10 Bodysnatchers -8.5 /10 Nude - 8/10 Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi - 8/10 All I Need - 8/10 Faust Arp - 8/10 Reckoner- 8.5/10 House of Cards - 8/10 Jigsaw Falling Into Place - 8/10 Videotape - 8.5/10 TOTAL - 82/100

Tension, anxiety, stress, chaos - Radiohead examines and produces negative affect, it's all disonant chords and disjunctive lead lines, unsettled poly-rhythms, and whatever the opposite of soothing vocals are. At times its too much for the songs themselves to handle and it starts to sound pixelated as they burst the seams. They're holding on the electronic excursions of their last three albums while re-introducing a more direct rock sound, like the Bends-era band playing Krautrock. Lots going on in the production with dense textures establishing each songs ambience and the rhythm section kicking it into gear. So many good sounds: The bass rumble on 15 Step. The reverbed-out guitar lead on Bodysnatchers. The groove on Nude. The low-end synth on All I Need. The chiming riff on Reckoner. The gentle thrumming fuzz of House of Cards. The acceleration/decceleration on Jigsaw...

One of my favorites of all time, 10/10.

I think this might be like the 3rd Radiohead album I've gotten. I really like this one. Nude is a great track. Weird Fishes is soooooo good!! All I Need is great too. Good album! 4 stars

Not for me

I love this album. Can’t listen to it enough. Best listened to from start to finish without stopping.

Good album, enjoyed all of the songs

I like it. Good for rainy weather.

I lived this so much more than the Radiohead I’d listened to before.

Many would put Radiohead’s earlier work near the top of the alternative genre, but apparently by 2007 they had ditched novelty for music that could today be created relatively easily by AI. Some of their songs are hits (“Creep” and “Karma Police” come to mind first), but this album generally functions better as background music, especially “Weird Fishes,” “All I Need,” and “House Of Cards.” The main exception is “Jigsaw Falling Into Place,” whose influence can be heard across the Glass Animals’ discography. In Rainbows might just be a forgettable mid-2000s fever dream. I don’t dislike it, and it’s a pleasant album to work to, but the fact that I don’t have many concrete takeaways (positive or negative) means it can’t be anything other than a three.

It was a surreal experience, and Phil's work was pretty exceptional in some tracks.

I have every note of this record memorized. When this thing dropped, it changed my entire world view on music. I had been a fan of Radiohead before. But this. It blows me away every time I hear it

Damn, I tried really hard to like this, but I guess it's just not for me, it doesn't tell me much unfortunately

Πολύ καλά κάποια κομμάτια

only good one was weird fishes

Weird fishes and Reckoner <3 the rest were okay

555555555555

Love this album. One of their best.

I see a couple of the top reviews saying either every song sounds the same, or they all sound like random noodling. I feel sorry for the ears of these people, clearly they aren't working properly. I don't think there's anything exceptionally experimental or hard to listen to about this album. To me it's just a collection of well-written and perfectly produced songs. Seriously, the sound quality of this album is amazing, every instrument fits right into place, like a jigsaw. It's hard not to be moved by the music on here.

All I Need Weird Fishes / Arpeggi Reckoner

Aunque no conocía la mayoría de las canciones, Radiohead es siempre PERFECTO.

Gøy med sang om Faust og sånt

It might be well crafted, but it's a bit miserable

3.5... Yeah I know

Nice mellow

3/5. While I had always been a big fan of the song 15 Step, I’m glad I finally gave this full album a listen. While I also enjoyed Bodysnatchers, I thought the rest of the album was lackluster.

classic joie de vivre

minus 1 star because radiohead fans can smd

Perfect album

Eh. I guess I don't get Radiohead. I probably would have loved them 20 years ago. Wait, when did this come out? Anyway, I don't hate them. But whatever.

Gøy med sang om Faust og sånt

All I Need is a track I hadn't paid enough attention to before - reminds me of Boards of Canada at times. JFIP is another standout. All very strong songs. The perfect blend of mournful and uplifting.

You inevitably have to compare this to what came before, and I don't love it like I do Ok Computer/Kid A/Amnesiac. For me this seemed like a revisiting of what they had already done rather than something innovative, which is why it's a 4* for me. That said, it's still Radiohead and has beautiful moments - Reckoner is a classic.

Enjoyable, but I'm not in love :(

this is the best one straight up it just takes u out of the world and puts u in vast expanses of ocean and space just with music. so fucking good

I really like Radiohead, some of their songs have cult status on my playlist, whatever that actually means. But there is one problem with this album - it sounds like the most boring mashup of Thom Yorke's groaning and moaning, with occasional guitar riff in the background. It was honestly one of my biggest achievements, that I could survive that album in full. I'm still a fan, but I will avoid In Rainbows with a wide radius.

shit to brincando, é um outro lado do radiohead, mais bonito e melodicamente maia feliz, as letras no entanto é outra historia. eu gosto da criatividade deles pra cada faixa soar diferentissima da outra. não foi um bom album de primeira pra mim, mas assim que eu ouvi direito não tive duvida que é um dos melhores deles e da época.

Favorite Radiohead Album. Possibly my favorite album by any artist. 11/10.

Happy memories of this one, the first Radiohead album release I experienced as a fan. I remember seeing the announcement on Dead Air Space, and while everyone else was losing their shit about the ‘pay what you want’ thing, I was losing my shit over it coming out in just 10 days time. Then, hearing the album, and seeing what they’d changed from the live versions. Backwards intro on Nude! Shouting children on 15 Step! Fuzzy bass on All I Need! Ok, it took me a while to get on board with the studio version of Videotape, but in general it was an exciting time in my teenage, music-loving life. It’s not my favourite album of theirs but I can absolutely understand why it would be for others. It’s probably Radiohead's most accessible (since The Bends at least) and certainly their downright prettiest sounding record. There are a couple of tracks that even veer dangerously close to being ‘happy’ - but not at the expense of interesting arrangements or sounds.

It took me a long time to warm up to Radiohead. I was aware of when they were first gaining some notoriety, but I couldn't quite crack into what Radiohead had to offer. I also remember the news about how In Rainbows was released as a pay-what-you-want online purchase, but I never heard a single track. I was pleasantly surprised with this album. The vocals were given a chance to carry more melody and not as much angst in their delivery. Radiohead has some tracks on earlier albums that leave me feeling a negative vibe. This album flowed from track to track, and I finished knowing that I could listen again to have a chance to hear what I may have missed the first time through.

Esoteric wailing, not my thing

*Rubs hands* I loved Radiohead so much that I've distanced myself from them. Weird? Maybe. They were my favorite band. I idolized them. I just thought that maybe I got too caught up in them. So, other than hearing a song here and there, I haven’t listened to an album of theirs straight through since maybe A Moon Shaped Pool. It will be interesting for me to revisit them from a more neutral perspective, if that's possible. Love this album. It’s gonna be a 4.5 for me. Really kind of mostly gentle and spookily atmospheric. As always, interesting production, with little fleeting soundscapey sounds melting into strings, vocals and who knows what else. The people who don’t like Radiohead, I get. This isn’t dance music, this isn’t singles music, it’s not mood music, although it does evoke a mood. But this stuff is like beautiful art house cinema. Evocative, impressionist, deliberately obscure rather than audience pleasing. It has moments of sublime sad tenderness and fragile beauty that’s just not going to be the reason a lot of people are looking for in music. No shade to them. Thom gets some grief for his obscure lyrics, but they work so well in these contexts. They keep the song eternal. The meaning is in the emotions. Not Absolute Music or Program Music but certainly arguments for both. Who else does Radiohead than Radiohead? But Bodysnatchers is a fucking ripper.

It's incredible how good this album is

Much like bat out of hell and tpab (and ok computer when I get it) I didn’t really need to listen to this album again to know my thoughts on it. In my opinion, this album is the peak of radioheads turn into more a electronic sound that started with kid a. Ok computer feels like a transition between more traditional rock and synthetic/electronic music and this feels like a transition between the electronic sound and the more overtly orchestral vibe of some of the stuff on moon shaped pool. It’s a tight album with no weak points and a great mix of sadder tracks like and more upbeat stuff like jigsaw falling into place and 15 step. Disc two is also really good.

Fantastisk modern skiva. En bra blandning mellan melankoliskt och upbeat. Får en modern Beatles-känsla av vissa låtar. Favoritlåtar: Bodysnatchers 15 Step Nude

I wasn't a huge fan of the last two Radiohead albums, but this one is markedly different. I much prefer this style to their previous one. The slow songs are still not appealing to me, but I feel like they are better in this album than in previous ones. This could have been a low 4 if there weren't so many slow songs. A strong to decent 3/5

I remembered after listening to this that it wasn't Radiohead I liked, but Portishead. DIrge.

I love OK Computer and early Radiohead. I struggled with this though. I listened to it twice and nothing really stood out, but I felt there were hidden depths. I don't feel it should be getting a 4-star rating on the basis that it might grow on me, but the fact I heard so much new stuff on a second listening was enough to push it from 3 to 4 stars.

Challenging, encompassing, well produced

Positivt overrasket. Dejligt drømmende at lytte til i toget.

I like this one.

The last Radiohead album I listened to was Pablo Honey years ago. I wasn't particularly blown away by it, and the same can be said about "In Rainbows". However, I did like the album even if the songs seemed to blur together after the first couple of songs. Favorite Song: Not really sure without looking it up. It all sort of blended. Recommend: I guess.

Muss ich nichts zu sagen…

Too winge and not all the songs are great.

Good fun, saved

Meget vel
