In Rainbows

good

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.

My fav Radioheadplaat. Zo goed da ik de spotify "Disc 2" erbij heb genomen.

In which Radiohead became one of the first to have a name your price for the digital download of their album. It's a pretty good one, short and sweet. Maybe their best?

this is the kind of music I think of when I think of radiohead (positive)

The album that excuses the fervor with which Radiohead fans speak about Radiohead. Bodysnatchers is an anthem for me.

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

The Radiohead album for when you need get shit done

Very repetitive

Radiohead es Denis bandas favoritas es un 1000 este álbum es una belleza

I already knew that I love this. Radiohead always hits and “All I need” got me through some tough times. The way they get a bunch of small sounds out together and make it sound so unique and amazing is something I really like. I feel blessed and this is kind of how I believe it feels to be high. Love this album, it is one of Radiohead's underrated albums and I would definitely give it 5/5.

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.

Maybe my new favorite Radiohead album? It’s up there with ‘The Bends’ for me. Not as cold as their other opuses, but still atmospheric. Dark and fuzzy. I was with them for the whole runtime. Maybe the only Radiohead record I’ve heard that I wouldn’t describe as “bleak.”

A fucking gut punch

classic! still love it 15 step ^^

I love this album

Not my favourite Radiohead albums but still a 4.

This is a masterpiece that absolutely deserves its critical acclaim. The performance on the vocals, man…I’m still lost for words on how I’m feeling right now, and not forgetting about the instrumentation, which is S tier as well. This might be THE best art-rock album of all time, hands down, it’s amazing.

Didnt expect this to hit so hard with the nostalgia but by the time it got to weird fishes I could almost taste a richmond menthol. A great album but a point off because im not arsed about every song on it.

Perfection

I love this album from start to finish. Always interesting. Treads the line perfectly of being weird and accessible.

Listening to the full album. First half was okay but the second half is what made me hooked. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

Erittäin hyvä albumi ilman fillereitä, 5/5

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.

The low points are still extremely good

This was already one of my all time favorite albums. Easy five stars.

Number: 111 Date: 04/23/2026 Artist: Radiohead Album: In Rainbows Year: 2007 Genre: Indie Rock Familiarity: Well-versed (4) Rating: Before: ======= OMG, another Radiohead album. I just had OK Computer 2 days ago. Maybe I'll just copy and paste pretty much everything I already said, and update as needed. Whatever. I'll try to keep an open mind but, I will start off by saying I'm not much of a fan. I mean they are OK, but that's it. Just OK. I've skimmed through most of this album before and have skimmed through pretty much all of their albums and cannot figure out why people like them so much. Anyways, just so you have an idea of where my head is at, some of my all time favorite music artist are The Fall, Stereolab, and Pixies. I don't actually listen to them that much anymore but used to listen to them a lot. Some of my favorite contemporary artists are Hovvdy, Water From Your Eyes, and Angel Olsen. During: ======= The main thing I can't get past with Radiohead is the whining but 2 songs in and so far this one is not near as whiney as OK Computer, which I endured just 2 days ago. Woops, spoke to soon, now at track 3 and the whining is back, in a big way. So to pass the time and just for kicks, let's see if any of my top 10 albums from 2007 are on The List. Here they are listed in order from 1 - 10. The Raveonettes "Lust Lust Lust" New Buffalo "Somewhere, Anywhere" Richard Hawley "Lady's Bridge" The Besnard Lakes "The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse" Band of Horses "Cease To Begin" Dan Deacon "Spiderman Of The Rings" Black Moth Super Rainbow "Dandelion Gum" The Fiery Furnaces "Widow City" Deerhoof "Friend Opportunity" Arcade Fire "Neon Bible" So my 10th favorite album did make it on The List but that's it. Richard Hawley does have "Coles Corner", which is a differnt album released in 2005, and I do agree it is his best. None of the other eight artists are on the list at all. The fact that Dan Deacon's "Spiderman Of The Rings" didn't make it is a travesty. I highly recommend that one if you're in the mood for something truly original. 3 15 Step 2 Bodysnatchers 1 Nude 3 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 3 All I Need 2 Faust Arp 2 Reckoner 2 House Of Cards 3 Jigsaw Falling Into Place 2 Videotape ----------------------------------------------------- 2.30 WEIGHTED AVERAGE (accounts for song lengths) After : ======= The only track I liked a little was 15 Step. The last 30 sec of Bodysnatchers was pretty good. I'm giving suitability a 1 since they have about 4 or 5 too many albums on The List. 2 my personal rating 1 suitability for this list 4 impact ----------------------------------------------- 2.3 composite rating

again, not the biggest fan but love the melancholy of some of these songs

Una joya!

Decent enough - no real standouts - prefer some of their other stuff from 90s

Ziohead

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

Banger intro to Radiohead. Videotape’s great

This is perfectly fine Radiohead which gets a 4, but its not their best

Beautiful album from front to back, probably alternates between my 3rd or 4th favorite Radiohead album. Not exactly a "back to basics" album but very much a full band effort. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is my personal favorite with the the way it builds and stacks the interlocking guitar lines, but so many other musical highlights. I just love this album.

A superior Radiohead album. Reckoner my favourite I reckon - mellow magic. And then the jigsaw one - 4.2

My love for this album came from watching them perform it in From The Basement rather than from the record itself. Still a couple of songs don't quite hit the mark for me but Reckoner, Nude, All I Need and Jigsaw are amongst my favourite Radiohead songs.

The last and My favourite of the 6 'Head albums on this list, though possibly topped by Moon Shaped Pool overall. Deserving of its classic status. Has some of the experimentation of Kid A/Amnesiac although better integrated here and warmer, less glacial. Drumming in particular superb, Krautrocky in places, as name-dropped on Faust Arp. House of Cards probably my highlight.

Ah yes, Tom Yorke at his whining worst. Now I get what people moan about. Let’s be honest, there was a time when Radiohead wrote songs instead of making music, and these kind of tracks worked well as fillers between those largely excellent songs. As a thematic collection of tracks however, it’s pretty dull, I would even go as far as to say “joyless”, as I genuinely find it difficult to enjoy this music. Being Radiohead does not necessitate making a good album. Here is the evidence laid bare. 


I’m not the kind of person to say everything Radiohead has ever done is a masterpiece, but this is as close to perfect as albums really get. It dips a bit in the middle from All I Need to Reckoner, but the rest is just brilliant. Best Radiohead album for sure

yea its really good. radiohead highkey overhyped but it's still very good

Kind of impossible to be objective about this one; it was a formative album at a formative moment in my life. In the midst of deep involvement of artistry, one of my favorite bands released an unquestioned masterpiece. It was the culmination of everything Radiohead had explored to that point, honing and crafting their sound directly to the purest form, exquisitely crafted and emotionally sweeping. It's just a perfect piece of art, no question, and maybe I'd fault it if I didn't have so much wrapped into it...but probably not.

In my personal galaxy this album shines the most. I think every song is prefect, and weirdfishes is my favorite song of all time.

This is my favorite album. Absolute masterpiece!

Sounds like radiohead. Every song sounds the same so much that I didnt realize the album ended and started playing a different one.

The Good: Finding a pot of gold! The Bad: Misreading the album name… there’s no end to this one… The Ugly: Have you ever seen a radiohead? The snob in me really wants to like this album. Snob. Really. First listen… can’t be bothered. Second listen… what’s this pulling me in? Third listen… fuckers! Fourth listen… can’t wait till the fifth listen… It’s not a 5* album, but it is better than some of the albums I’ve rated 5* Really really really enjoyed this outing! Does this make me a snob? 4*

Not more bloody wailing from Radiohead, I haven't got over the last one yet 🤦🏻‍♂️

To basically paste my previous review, I think something has changed in my brain chemistry because it seems I love radiohead now. Solid album, no complaints directed at radiohead, but unfortunately that last review I mentioned was ✨not even a week ago✨. It's too much radiohead folks! Surely there are some other artists that could have taken an entry on the top 1000?

Rock

Great Radiohead alhum

I remember liking this album a lot more. It's till good, but Thom Yorke's lack of enunciation really made the whole thing drag. These compositions bang though.

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

Almost flawless

Nope

Classique goy slip radiohead

I really want to like radiohead but every time I hear an album its just a little bit too slow for me

Another Radiohead opportunity. Oh good. This one was brilliantly dull.

4th-best Radiohead album

music is love

🙂

Just the guitar tone alone is enough to get me there. The last great Radiohead album.

On a scale of 10: 7/10

One of my favourite albums of all time. It has a warmer sound, good production, great experimentation and awesome composition through every track.

I like but it's not my fav of Radiohead

Viva la depresión

Classic

Good not great. Not my favorite album from radio head.

One of my favorite middle school albums that I think shows off Radiohead's upbeat abilities way more than previous albums. 15 steps? Weird fishes? Love and very much part of the reason I got into indie music in my formative music years. Short and fun for my ears, though I agree it could use a little more melody diversity in the latter half of the album.

Why the hell are any other Radiohead albums on here when clearly this is their best work. I am a hater though so minus 1 star for every Radiohead album already listened to. Looking forward to Ok Computer and Pablo Honey!

Of course our first week back after two years off is FUCKING RADIO HEAD. I HATE TOM YORK AND HIS WHINY BITCH ASS MOANING MORE TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE I do think rainbows is the most tolerable of all the radio head albums, a few of these almost sound like songs even. That said, I saw another review that said “if you told me this was the same song 15 times in a row I’d believe you” and that really captures my stance on Radiohead. Also note that there are only 10 tracks, it just feels like 15

Niet mijn ding. Te traag, te saai.

Ik luister hier vaak naar!! Maar enkel een paar liedje

4/5 actually first listen good stuff

Great few songs at the start but the rest are forgettable

meh

q preciosidad de album

Хороший альбом

Really nice! My favorites are "Nude", "Weird Fishes / Arpeggi" and "All I Need"

9/10

3.5

It’s insane that the 2007 revolution of this album’s release is now the secondary story to how freakin good it is.

Not their best, but still has some bangers. A mid Radiohead album is better than most other records

WOOOOOOOO!!!!! Every note of this record is stitched into my soul. This is the best live band in the world. They dominated modern music for a solid 20 years. This album is a feast. Perfect. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Stunning. Innovative. Still!

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

In heaven, a moody, guitar backed triumph for one of the best.

Remember getting this for free when it was released with the “set your own price” system. I don’t think I really “got” it then, but it has really grown on me over the intervening years

caca midf

Me gusta el sonido de las baterias y programaciones.

I liked Radiohead growing up but somehow missed this album when it came out.

I like this album. It's more approachable than any Radiohead album since The Bends. I'm really liking this album so far. All I need is great. This is a great album. It feels more laid back than anything else they've done. Something about videotape gets to me. Sad piano?

Bliss. Parfait. Reckoner particulièrement et Jogsaw falling into place

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.

It's hard, because this isn't my Radiohead. My Radiohead is Ok Computer, and some of that is here, but there's a lot that's different. I need to revisit this when I get the chance. I need to give it a fairer shot.

Not to my taste

Beautiful. Like floating through a river made of strange alien stars.

For me, In Rainbows feels like quiet chaos desire, guilt, and beauty wrapped in something soft and controlled. It’s intimate without trying too hard, almost like emotions you don’t fully say out loud. There’s a subtle sensuality and a kind of elegant sadness that pulls you in instead of breaking you apart. It doesn’t explode, it lingers. Sometimes it feels distant, almost untouchable, but that’s part of its charm. It’s not an album you understand, it’s one you feel especially when you’re alone with your thoughts.

This is already one of my favorite albums.

5/5, avant avoir écouté 5/5, après avoir écouté

Every track is a sonic masterpiece. One of my favorite albums of all time. I’ve listened to the album 100’s of times, and believe that one needs to listen to it several times before you can start to fully appreciate it.

Notable Textzeile: It's on again, off again, on again Watch me fall like dominoes In pretty patterns Ich hatte ja immer das Gefühl, ich bin zu simpel gestrickt für Radiohead. Für dieses Album zumindest gilt das nicht, es gefällt mir sehr, findet eine gutes Balance zwischen sphärisch-schön, pluckernden Rhythmen und Gitarrenloops. An diesem Punkt in der Zeitlinie (sowohl zur Veröffentlichung als auch 20 Jahre später hören) ist das allerdings auch nicht (mehr?) krass revolutionär sondern voller schon gehörter Momente. Bleibt aber sehr schön. 3,5 wird zu 4.

Manchmal weiß man gar nicht wie sehr man gerade von Thom Yorke angenölt werden muss. Und auf den Malediven Weird Fishes hören, sorry. Besser geht nicht.

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

There's a lot of talk among Radiohead fans of this being their actual best album, better than OK Computer, the "sleeper hit" of the catalogue. And I can understand that. Everyone involved decided to reel in all the electronic experimentation they had been doing for the last seven years, and get back to writing songs that are just...good songs. Songs that you can play on guitar or piano. Songs that don't cease to exist if your synthesizer crashes and you lose all your presets. From the get-go, you think it'll be their most experimental album yet, with Thom singing over these delay-scratched sequenced beats. But overtime, '15 Step' ends up feeling more and more natural, and the album never returns to that field again. There's a reason Thom called these "love songs." They're so intimate, they're so grounded. You have good ol' rock-and-roll cuts (Bodysnatchers, Jigsaw) as well as the exceptionally moody songs (House of Cards, Nude, and oh my god Videotape.) I don't think it's perfect. The songs here are beautiful and many are still catchy, but they don't have the same level of eat-your-heart-out theatrical ambitions that OK Computer does. And while there is no filler on In Rainbows, some songs might possibly overstay their welcome. House of Cards does not need to be 5 1/2 minutes long. It harkens back to the classics from the 60s and 70s, when albums only existed on a vinyl LP. Every artist only had 40 minutes and change to prove to you why they should be included in your collection. And of course, In Rainbows is no exception. It's for those who wanted a more concise band, less whining, more traditionally great singing. Better drumming, better guitar licks, it's just a beautiful record.

ya he escuchando antes este álbum y es tu mejor compañía cuando te sientas melancólico y solo. 8/10

Its a good album to clean or do things while listening. I found 4 tracks to be boring or unlistenable. But I liked 60% of the album

Cine puro

Had this one already on my own

love it

Well I've been waiting for this one, and it rightly takes its place in the exclusive 5* category of my list. What a phenomenal album. The opening 4 tracks have got to be some of the best on any album, with Weird Fishes / Arpeggi being my most common answer to the question 'What's your favourite song?'. All I Need is probably the weakest track on the album for me but when a song of that quality is the weakest then that speaks for itself. Maybe my favourite Radiohead album? Favourites: 15 Step Bodysnatchers Nude Weird Fishes / Arpeggi Reckoner Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Album No. 0203 on my list. Nice, my third Radiohead album already. Considering they're my favorite band of all time and "In Rainbows" is their best album after their iconic three-album run from 1995 ("The Bends") to 2000 ("Kid A"), the final rating was fixed from the beginning. Nevertheless, I listened to the thing again to properly appreciate it. "In Rainbows" is probably Radiohead's most easily accessible album after 1997's "OK Computer". Despite the heavy use of electronic music, the whole thing is pretty easy to listen to. It appears to me that this is Radiohead's happiest album, even though the lyrics are sometimes pretty dark and/or cryptic. Yet, it's just not as angry as their earliest albums, less aggressive and rough as its predecessor ("Hail To The Thief"), and less eerie than "Kid A", and "Amnesiac". The songs on "In Rainbows" are groovy, they're playful, they're catchy, they're spheric, they're percussive, and all of them are great. There is really not a single bad song on this album, so I'm having a hard time deciding which songs to put on my playlist. I'll go with "15 Step", "Bodysnatchers", "All I Need", "House of Cards", and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place". This is however just a matter of representing the whole album and personal favorites. From sheer quality, I could really have put all ten songs on this album here. To summarize: "In Rainbows" is a great album, even by Radiohead's high standards. Together with "The Bends", and "OK Computer", it's a great way to get into the band, a "Radiohead for beginners" kinda thing. It's definitely one of the greatest albums of the 21st century. 5/5 stars, of course!

Liked a lot of this, will give it another go

Better then I thought it would be but I still don’t see what all the fuss is about Radiohead. Seemed a little pretentious to me.

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.

There is nothing to say about this album bcuz its so so great!

I know it’s cool to like Radiohead but I just don’t enjoy it.

It's their signature sound for sure, but it felt... incomplete? I don't know, something's missing

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

I was very pleasantly surprised by this album. After Amnesiac I had little hope for Radiohead returning to melodic compositions. This album is moody and complicated but with a welcome return to melody. Thank goodness.

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

wow

Weird Fishes, Faust Arp, House of Cards, it's an excellent album. From an excellent band.

gran disco.

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.

Muy bueno, lento chill, pero no aburrido

Top Songs: Bodysnatchers Faust Arp

I like this one.

definitely more my wheelhouse for music, that being said I haven't even listened to creep so this was interesting. looking forward to the next 5 radioheads albums on this list.

Super good album, fun to listen to while doing chores

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.

I really vibed with this Radiohead album. Lots of piano backed tracks with some synth drums and mellow sounds. Some of it kind of sounded like U2 to me, but not in a bad way.

A beautiful album, less dense and more accesible than a lot of their work. I don't know that any individual songs stuck out but this is an album album.

kinda neat, i want to relisten.

Oh! I’ve definitely never listened to a complete Radiohead album on my own volition (no offense I don’t dislike them just a realization). Let’s go. I only know bodysnatchers from this one. Wild this came out during my freshman year at Vass. I was too busy with Brand New and being bleak my first semester. Woah learning they released this as a pay what you want download! Iconic? Weird fishes/arpeggi HA. V good title (“I get eaten by the worms and weird fishes”). “Words are sawed off shotguns” okay I like this album. Nude fucked me up on relistening.

I used to not really like this album, and I thought it was overrated. Now I do like this album, but I do still think it's a bit overrated. OK Computer still clears. A solid album nonetheless. 9/10

gooood album. favs are weird fishes, nude, and all i need

I mean what more is there to say. Just listen to it.

Fave songs- nude, all I need

Weird fishes is a really good song. Great production. House of cards is heat.

Liked, didn't love

"duh, duh, duh, we're doing the fucking song, duh duh duh" No but the start of this did surprise me, I liked it. Then by the end it did just degenerate into normal whiny Radiohead for me

A one of its kind album even still all these years later

Tracks: 1 15 Step ◦ I loveeee this. The beat is so groovy and amazing and it’s giving like basketball game if you know what I mean it’s giving electronics out in space. The clicking things are amazing. Idk it’s soo spacey. I love this song 2 Bodysnatchers ◦ Meh I barely remember it nothing special 3 Nude ◦ I luv this song its super duper good 4 Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi ◦ This song its good but not nearly as much as people make it out to seem. 5 All I Need ◦ Super duper classic. I love this song lots it’s really catchy. 6 Faurst Arp ◦ This song is lowkey really good. Like I love the rhythm. Its very wonderful to me. 7 Reckoner ◦ I like the rhythm and stuff but I’m not too sure if I liked the lyrics. Idk I like the way he sung most of them. ◦ I think it could grow on me so I will like it I think. 8 House of Cards ◦ I don’t really like this song. It’s kind of meh. I don’t like it. I don’t like the instrumental and I don’t like the lyrics and I don’t care for thr rhythm.

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

It's incredible like much of radiohead and I loved it a lot, it just didn't blow me away as much as OK Computer did. Which might be unfair... because its OK Computer.

I love and hate how emotional Radiohead gets me but every song is so full of emotion and musical genius I just can't help but to love everything they do. That being said, OK Computer was better, so that's why I'm not rating this one as high.

Didn't finish. Was cool but meh

Ni tan mal, nose si me pondria a escucharlo pero no me disgusto para nada.

Notes for a sad sole.

No notes

Nearly their best album. For me it’s pipped to the post by Ok Computer, but this is an easy 5 star album and an astonishing piece of work. It’s also an amazing quality recording if you’re into that kind of thing. Has an immense soundstage and dynamics. Proper HiFi demo record. Love it. 5

Incredible. Need to continually revisit. RYM: Y (#3) Saved a song: Y

Radiohead a bit stripped back and more accessible makes In Rainbows one of their most popular releases. Limiting some of their abstract electronic layers probably helps and I like the way each song seems to keep on building through its running time. Weird Fishes puts me in mind of The Blue Nile which is no bad thing and 15 Step is a great opener.

This album has no bad songs on it. The best songs on it are Nude, Weird Fishes, All I Need, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, and Videotape. I love this album, for sure a top 20 album of all time. Overall, I would give it a 4.9/5!

Geweldig album. Begint al goed :)

As a younger millennial, In Rainbows is kind of OUR Radiohead album. I remember sitting in my room, listening to All I Need on terrestrial radio, completely transfixed. That was my first experience like that with this generational band. It wouldn't be the last.

This is a one of a kind album. The sounds coming out of my speakers are ethereal and otherworldly, and the way it all builds to a cacophonous climax is so emotionally impactful. Johnny Greenwood and Ed O’Brien have a way of manipulating sound that makes Radiohead the band that it is. The songs are brilliantly written. The rhythm section is rock solid and Thom’s vocals are absolutely beautiful. Easiest 5 stars.

Awesome album. Keep on finding new things to love on this album.

muy bueno, siempre puse excusas para no escucharlo porque radiohead no es una banda que me llama mucho la atención y realmente me encanto, mis canciones favoritas fueron nude, weird fishes, all i need y jigsaw falling into place

I liked Reckoner but the rest was crap

Me encantó, muy instrumental.

What's a Radiohead? Still a blind spot that this list is slowly filling in. I don't think this is the masterpiece its been built up to be (only did 2 listens so what do I know) but its good. Very consistent and thought out concept. Im sure the more pretentious spots will grow on me but today they were a tad distracting. Favorite Songs: Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Faust Arp

ci stava, già ascoltato

Every time I hear this album I think it's without a doubt my favourite Radiohead album. Then I inevitably listen to the Bends and OK Computer and remember they are also my favourite... Are Radiohead one of my favourite bands? This album ticks so many boxes for me, great musicianship, production, song writing, experimentation, a bit of rock, pop and dance. It's lovely.

(1001/100)

I enjoy a decent amount of Radiohead but just can't get into this one. Just too noisy and weirdly mixed. A couple songs are okay but just not my favorite.

Weird, but OK

I wasn't in the mood for this. Good Radiohead album but I've never been a huge Radiohead fan. I could tell that I would have liked this more under different circumstances, and its technically great, strong vocals, good tone, I like the variety of songs and the electronic components, but wrong album wrong time.

I enjoyed this much more than Amnesiac but Radiohead still really just doesn't do it for me.

Immortalized in the timeless classic Twilight.

9/10. I think I finally understand the hype around Radiohead. I always just kinda overlooked them as being music for the most pretentious music elitists possible. However, this album is phenomenal. I think it was when the guitar came in on 15 Step where I completely ascended and didn't come down until the album ended. Honestly, the only thing keeping this from being a 10/10 is Thom Yorke's voice. It always sounds like he's doing his best crying baby impression, and it's still my biggest problem with Radiohead. Pros: Incredible interplay with the music, and all of the songs are so incredibly atmospheric that it feels like you're in space for the whole album. Cons: Thom Yorke's voice. Especially on Videotape. Favorite Tracks: 15 Step, Nude, All I Need, Faust Arp, Reckoner, House of Cards Least Favorite Track: Bodysnatchers Would listen again? Yes.

No album quite like this one, a regular listen for me

Bloody lovely album, ignored it at the time for reasons unknown. I love that they kept it lean at 40 something minutes, there are beautiful sounds and textures throughout. Part of me starts to miss the days when they'd write more traditional sounding songs, but then they blindside you with a cool string part or a left field drum beat.

I like Radiohead a lot more than I did back when they first appeared. But I really hated them back then so now I like some of their tracks and tolerate a few others. As I listened I was thinking “I’d rather listen to Beck”. Nothing stands out on this album 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.

A pretty great album honestly, I really enjoyed the first half. "Bodysnatchers" and "Weird Fish" are possibly my favorite radiohead songs of all time if I'm being honest. Sadly for me once "Faust Arp" hits the record starts to lose steam for me. It's still pretty good in the second half, I just wish it didn't end on "Video Tape", which is the weakest track in the link and sounds like Kid A leftovers.

honestly hated my last radiohead album so was NOT looking forward to this esp to get two radiohead albums in a row (why are there so many radiohead albums. surely we could've picked another influential artist instead of another radiohead album). but. i will admit i did not hate this one. it was pretty good actually i would maybe listen to it again if i was really starved for content.

I’ll probably get loads of hate for this… I can’t stand Radiohead. Many years ago, I tried to listen to OK Computer, and had to turn it off halfway through. Ever since then, I’ve had no want, nor made any effort to listen to anything by them. But… in the interests of this project, album 43 has presented me with the dilemma. Do I skip it as I can probably guess how this is going to go? Or suck it up and try and get through 43 minutes of Thom Yorke whining about something or other? I chose the second option, optimistic that I may have changed my views. And by track three, I was wishing I hadn’t bothered. 10 tracks of slow whiney lyrics. The only good thing it has going is the drums aren’t too bad. Otherwise I will be glad that there is one less Radiohead album I have to sit through before completing this project. Sorry to anyone who loves them, but it’s one out of five for me. Standout track (if any) - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi

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.

I hated Radiohead sm when I was younger, and that’s why children shouldn’t be able to vote They are dumb and stupid 5 stars

There's always been a slight Emperor's New Clothes attached to a lot of Radiohead's output. There's no doubt they did some bangers in the 90s and Kid A has aged a lot better than I thought it would at the time, but there seems to be some modern push to count them alongside the Beatles or something. Miserable whining and anguish abounds, this did very little for me. I quite liked 'Videotape' though.

One of the best of all time, and certainly Radiohead’s best in my eyes. Not a single skip, every song is a 5/5. The musicianship and songwriting on this album never fails to blow me away, where the album takes you to so many different places despite always feeling coherent & hugely impactful.

OK Computer is my favorite of theirs. I was late to the Radiohead party, really wasn’t aware of them as they were releasing albums, but I definitely appreciate them now. Thom’s voice is a little annoying though.

Easy album to have just wash over you

I mean it’s in rainbows

Non è tutto da 5

Bravi, meglio di altri

One of my favourite albums of all time

Good sad dad rock

Best of the best

I'm just not a Radioheader.

Exquisite. Some of the singing was too grating.

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.

I can't tell if I like Radiohead, but I I'm going to go with yes

If you were to approach me on a random day of my life and ask, "What album would you like to listen to right now?" my answer is most likely to be In Rainbows. It's a behemoth of an album, pretty close to perfect in my opinion. Without listening to it closely, it's easy to think of it as an electronic, or at least heavily synthesizer-dependent record, but at its core this is a rock album with some strings and keys thrown in: the effects (barring some guitar/bass pedals and drum filters) are fewer and farther between than the impeccable production -- and the truly incredible use of Thom's voice as an instrument -- tricks you into thinking. In between a few heavier songs, this is as atmospheric as music gets without getting into ambient territory. It's moody as hell, and the ebb and flow of the moods were clearly sequenced with a lot of intention. Do yourself a favor: on a nice day, get a little stoned, go for a walk someplace pretty, and crank this album with the bass boosted. You'll feel like you're floating, then crashing down, and ultimately transported. If you're a softy like me, you might even get a little misty around "Nude," "All I Need," "Reckoner," and/or "Videotape". It's an incredible experience -- not something you can say about many albums.

I've been learning some songs from this album on guitar. It's a masterpiece.

In Rainbows is such an easy 5/5. A fever dream—an album that moves like smoke through a dim room, brushing against you before slipping back into the dark. Every song feels half-remembered and half-foretold, a pulse wrapped in velvet and static. Reckoner is my ringtone. It’s the rare record that haunts more than it plays, the quiet phantom at the center of my collection, and one of the greatest works ever carved out of sound. In Rainbows is a 5/5 opus that slips between dimensions—an album less heard than inhaled. It shimmers in that liminal space where desire becomes geometry, where every chord feels like a secret only the initiated can decode. It’s a record that doesn’t beg for understanding; it assumes you’re perceptive enough to follow. In the vast sprawl of my collection, this record stands in rarified air, an artifact of rare intelligence, a masterpiece for those who listen with more than just their ears. And if you don't get it, this will be on YOUR videotape.

Radiohead is a band I am really sad are zionists. This album is great and I remember when it came out it being pay-what-you-feel which was pretty groundbreaking and rad. A shame.

Great album, Reckoner is a masterpiece.

Better than previous albums

Solid

Another boring one.

Radiohead has been my favourite band since the 7th grade yet I've always felt that this was their most overrated record. I love it so much but it's probably not even on my top 5 radiohead albums. But it changes pretty often so idk. Faust Arp will always be the best song on here I dont care. I really don't know what to give it. Compared to other albums I gave a 4, it's incredibly better. But is it a true 5? I can't say so. I don't want to regret my rating, but that will happen anyhow, probably. I don't like Reckoner. Without Reckoner this could've been a 5.

Track 1 and 2. Were ok but a bit whiny Track 3 sucked Track 4 & 5was good but not great Track 6 and 7 are horrid 8. almost put me to sleep People find Track 9 good? What is 10 even about Overalls this album sucked Some good songs but not worth the popularity

Ough. Ouugggghhh. Lads, you've done it again. Banger after banger. Really fuckin good album.

Surprising album for me and helped me discover Radiohead.

Best Radiohead album from a millennial perspective

I can’t praise this album enough. Certainly one of my favourites of all time. In 10 tracks, Radiohead shows what they are capable of. They are all bangers and it could have easily been a greatest hits collection, and it really feels like all the previous albums led up to this. There’s rocky guitar-based tracks, but the electronic aspects are not ignored here. The drums are tight on every song, but honestly all 5 are at the top of their game.

For my money, it's tough to beat Radiohead's output from OK Computer through this album. 4.5/5

Easy 5 for me and perhaps my favourite Radiohead album. In some ways feels like their Magnum Opus, incredibly complex and a combination of the various sound styles they experimented with on different albums up until this point in their career.

In Rainbows was my first exposure to Radiohead. Prior to this release, I'd probably heard a few songs here and there, but was never really receptive to their music. After In Rainbows was released, I became absolutely obsessed for a time and quickly sought out the rest of their discography. Now, almost 20 years later, I honestly don't return to In Rainbows frequently. Whenever I feel like listening to Radiohead, I always go straight to Kid A or OK Computer, and if I feel like listening to their newer work, I tend to reach for the King of Limbs, which I think is severely underrated. That said, even after ignoring In Rainbows for years, I still feel intimately familiar with all the songs on this album and there are some great songs on this album! Jigsaw Falling Into Place and Weird Fishes / Arpeggi are the two tracks that really stand out to me. It feels great to be returning to this album today.

This is one of Radiohead's best, hard to believe it's ben almost twenty years since its release. Weird Fishes is one of my all time favorites. The only middling track here is Faust Arp, but even then it's not a horrid listen. Easy five stars.

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.

Not my favourite Radiohead album but absolute fire. All I need, Jigsaw falling into place and Weird Fishes are personal highlights.

Thom Yorke is a cunt

Angsty and classic. Favourite track: Nude

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

Great Radiohead album!

Ook niet mijn muziek (sorry Merel)

10/10

Cool

What a masterpiece! Definitely my favorite Radiohead album

Decent album, just overall not a big fan of Radiohead.

I feel like people really like the final two songs and just ignore the rest during which a British guy whines into your ears, which is far from a novelty in the list. So I really couldn't be bothered to write a more in-depth review because the album is mostly boring. Best songs are Jigsaw Falling Into Place and Videotape but that doesn't help when the rest are so bland. 4/10, I don't see what others see.

Honestly, this was just a lot of layered noise. Nearly unlistenable.

The first 8 songs on In Rainbows by Radiohead are incredible. Unlike Nathaniel chand, each track flows perfectly into the next with beautiful melodies, emotional lyrics, and amazing production. It’s one of those rare runs where every song feels meaningful and memorable, making the album start feel almost flawless. But it’s not my personal preference, I prefer mainly a rnb indie style

liking thats the only reason it a 2 but the vision is there

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.

Brilliant album, start to back, it's a tightly packed, cohesive and wonderfully produced record. All tracks sound meaningful and Radiohead really sound super mature here. Stand out tracks: Jigsaw falling into place, Reckoner, 15 Step, Nude, Just all of the songs. In Rainbows contains easily the most accessible music made by the band in the last decade. Not just in sound but subject matter too. Lead single "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" is the perfect example of this. 5/5

Meh

bleh

I did not care for this

First experience with Radiohead. My favorite songs from this are the ones that feel haunting and heavy, even if the music is not

nice, sometimes you can make out the words haven't heard this in a long time, was pleasantly surprised by the musicality and decent tunes

One of my favorites. Favorite tracks: '15 Step' and 'Reckoner'.

remember being underwhelmed at the time - not the best rasiohead album, hope the others are in here!

This is my favorite, if not the best Radiohead album. EVERY TRACK IS INCREDIBLE. Also, in case you're wondering, OK Computer is the best Radiohead album.

3,2/5

Always a great pleasure to listen to. I forgot how flowing/natural the progression is between songs. Certainly gives the impressions cyclical chaos.

i’m depressed, of course i like radiohead

Weird fishes/Arpeggi and Jigsaw falling into place might be the most magical/mind tickling songs I have ever heard or found. I have listened to them a million times already and still they keep tickling my brain in the right way.

FUCKIN LSITEND ARLEADY, PRETTY NICE ALBUM. ALL I NEED IS BUSTLING AMAZING. TEXTURES AND VOCAL ARE PEAK SOME SLOW SONGS, SOME WITH GOOD PACE.

I love this album, its so good. Every song is good and some of them are like top songs ever. Theres so much feeling in them, its interesting to hear all the little sounds and instruments harmonising together to create something beautiful (as is usual with radiohead songs). The first album I heard of the band actually, and it really hooked me in.

Not my jam

So good

Ne, das ist nichts Gutes. Zu wehleidig, wäre Musik die ich hören wollen würde, wenn ich depri bin, aber trifft gerade nicht meinen Zeitgeist.

nicht ganz so schlimm wie das vorherige Album, aber noch zu weinerlich

Nicht gut

Boring and repetitive

Not another Radiohead album. It all just sounded the same and Yorke’s vocals sound awful. How did he sing Creep & then proceed to produce this stuff!

From all the Radiohead albums I have listened, this is my favourite, and the one I've spent the most time listening to, since I already loved it when I discovered about two years ago. After their experimentation period between "Kid A" and "Hail to the Thief", the group decided to go back to a more pure art rock sound, delivering probably their most emotional and gorgeous sounding project. I should insist in the use of "probably" because I haven't listened to "A Moon Shaped Pool" yet, which is also regarded as an incredibly sentimental work by them. This record starts with "15 Steps", a rather uplifting track with a certain degree of complexity thanks to the uncommon rhythms, a trait that is repeated throughout the whole album. Then comes "Bodysnatchers" which has a very garage rock sounding guitars and riffs and keeps the energy from the previous track, and it is quite fun. Following is "Nude", and it is at this point that the album gets seriously intimate and melancholic. This song is incredible. It is a slow, smooth, entrancing and super delicate piece that sounds absolutely wonderful. However, it isn't as incredibly as "Weird Fishes / Arpeggi" is. The way that the song just keep getting more and more powerful with the progressive addition of layers of incredibly wonderful guitar melodies is just mesmerizing. Once it riches its climax, it slows down and starts over again, but now with a more serious tone and using other instruments and effects. If the previous track wasn't impressive enough, "All I Need" may have the most emotional part of the whole album. It starts very slow and mellow, but in the end, it suddenly explodes when the piano starts playing and the drum begins to use the crash cymbals, creating this spectacular and sentimental feeling which is only elevated thanks to Thom's passionate singing and the accompanying pretty bells. To calm a bit the waters, the song "Faust Arp" brightens the mood with its cute and more positive melodies. I think it could be considered a bit of a interlude, due to being the shortest track and the placement in the album between "All I Need" and "Reckoner", another spectacular moment with probably the most passionate and highest vocals. From here starts the final section: "House of Cards" is a very peaceful song that is followed by probably the most energetic piece, "Jigsaw Falling Into Place", with its very intricate and playful guitars and rhythms. Finally, the record ends with "Videotape", a very slow piano ballad that finishes the album in a very melancholic way. While I tried to explain why each song shines, a couple of things that are common to all of them are the impeccable production and how well textured they are. In short, an incredibly powerful and moving masterpiece with maybe some of the most gorgeous moments I've ever heard.

Moderne klassieker

Could do with more hits ;-)

not my favorite but i like

Pretty mid, all of it sounded the same, though the sound was very good throughout, not nearly as diverse as their other stuff

Absolute cinema. Easily one of the greatest albums I have ever heard

божественно

Nude is the perfect dissociation song

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

Great

[disc 1] arpeggio in weird fishes/arpeggi (the song, esp. towards the outro, is beautiful); reckoner: great percussion (song reminds me of what rain would sound or feel like), liked the trip hop and Frusciante influences (probably fav. track in the album); jigsaw falling into place: lyrics + vibes [disc 2] last flowers: beautiful (piano); bangers + mash: groovy, kinda fun

I’m a fan of Radiohead; however this isn’t my favorite.

I don’t know why I like this album so much. I just fucking do. I was trying really hard to get into Radiohead, and while Kid A was cool and OK Computer sounded fun, I just couldn’t get it. This was the first Radiohead album I heard and thought, “holy shit I get it”. Idk what songs like “All I Need”, and Jigsaws did to me but this unlocked my appreciation for the band.

Yes! Superb record. Syncopated awesomeness. Radiohead is an original. No other band really sounds like them. The music and lyrics are brilliant. I can get lost in this album… the memorizing rhythms on some of the tracks absolutely absorb the listener. Some beautiful moments in the back half too.

Such an overrated band. It’s the o.g. Coldplay.

Better than I remembered.

I love Radiohead

No. 127 Really loved this one. Love how well they can create an atmosphere with the vocals, lyrics and instrumentation.

This album has one of my favorite songs ever on it, video tape, but this whole thing again as always with Radiohead is a masterpiece. I talk about Jeff Rosenstock a lot here but shout out to him for them copying his pay what you want model for this record. I feel like I don’t need to gush about Radiohead again but I do love how quiet, pretty, falsetto, just dialed back a lot of this album is compared to the others. It really is a beautiful experience all the way through and is another shining example of yea they might be one of the best bands ever. Other faves other than Videotape include 15 steps, weird fishes, and jigsaw.

Favorite Tracks: 15 Step / Bodysnatchers / Jigsaw Falling Into Place / Videotape Rating: 4.2 Hell yeah, here we go. My all time favorite Radiohead album is "The Bends," so I was thrilled when this was released with more of a return to a rock-driven sound, although one certainly informed by "Kid A" and "Hail To the Thief." For me it's complex & just experimental enough, but the thru line of an actual band playing actual instruments - quite well, actually, great rhythm section on this - makes sure that it also just rocks.

excelent!

Great “noise” when working otherwise not the “vibe” lyrics were too morally relative

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

Amazing album

I have heard a few of their songs in passing but had not listened to the entire album. This was good. I enjoyed it. I can understand why they put it out there and let people pay what they wanted to pay. I'm glad most people paid them because it's good.

Live laugh Radiohead

Definitely prefer earlier Radiohead. That was pretty boring.

God, I love this album. It’s a band that’s so happy and creative in each other’s company, but pushing themselves to new heights. This is the point I went from really liking Radiohead to them being in my all time top 5

It’s Radiohead - what’s not to like. Classic.

OK Computer was a classic. There is nothing on this album that matches that.

- Pretty good study music - More percussive than OK Computer - Not overly memorable - Liked 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place' - Love the album cover

Very good. RAS

So good. Every bit.

My FAV ALBUM

wait am i really into radiohead !????? kinda loved this.....absolutely adding to the repertoire nude (in particular blew me away.....so wonderfully atmospheric) all i need reckoner same vibes as the twilight soundtrack lmaooo (compliment)

enjoying more than i thought i wld hmm…… this was kinda nice lock in music, enough happening to like engage ur brain but it wasn’t liek overpowering (im not sure i rly knew what radiohead’s sound was before this i just assumed it was more screamy)

In 2007 Radiohead were without a contract and so decided to sidestep the record industry by releasing their music online as a ‘pay what you want’ download. This was a gamble, but it paid off in terms of getting their album out and into the hands of fans and curious bystanders as soon as possible. Reportedly most people were happy to pay the regular price or went on to buy the various physical releases that became available later on. Aside from the novelty of the release, this was an evolution in their style - less glitchy and weird, more guitar based rock (with some nice string accompaniments), and with a noticeable personal touch to the lyrics. Thom Yorke’s vocals are still an acquired taste, but after being a relative newcomer to their albums until fairly recently I have grown to appreciate them.
