In Rainbows by Radiohead

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.

1-Star Albums (17)

All Ratings (198)

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 22 2023

Liked it more than I thought I would. But not all songs are killer

Station To Station by David Bowie
Sep 25 2023

Liked it more than I thought I would. But not all songs are killer

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Sep 28 2023

Pretty good. Never heard and Elliott Smith Album before. Was expecting more.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Oct 02 2023

It was fun, but did not blow my mind. Definite talented artist though.

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 03 2023

It's a classic. But I'm biased.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Oct 05 2023

I knew it would be good. But not this good!

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Oct 09 2023

Tuti Fruti is so good but then the album lags for a bit. It does not have bad songs after Tuti Fruit, they just aren't as good as Tuti Fruit. Was going to give it 3 stars. But then before it ends, everything just gets so good. Easily deserves a 4. A classic.

The Specials by The Specials
Oct 10 2023

It's good. It's special. But not amazing.

Hms Fable by Shack
Oct 12 2023

It's good. Really good. But didn't blow me away.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Oct 13 2023

Never heard of them before. It was good. Not amazing

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Oct 16 2023

There is so much good music in the world. And this is good. Really good. But not really special.

Be by Common
Oct 18 2023

So much better than I expected! Great listen beginning to end

The Cars by The Cars
Oct 20 2023

This is like a greatest hits album!

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Oct 24 2023

Really good. Really fucking good. But didn't blow me away.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Oct 25 2023

He is very talented. 3 stars seems like an insult. But is everything that is better than good 4 stars?

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Oct 26 2023

It's good and fun. But everything can't be a 4.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 27 2023

It's Tom Waits. You can't give him a 3. It's disrespect. The album was really good. So I guess everything is a 4.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Oct 31 2023

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.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Nov 02 2023

It's good. Definitely not 4 stars good. But definitely not a 2 either.

Nov 03 2023

I thought I liked Country more than I actually do I guess. Only a 3 for me.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 06 2023

Every song is essentially the same. But when every song is really good, maybe sounding the same isn't a bad thing. It's definitely a vibe.

Nov 07 2023

It's wrong to give Minugs a 2. So I need to at least do a 3. And the talent is there. But it didn't move me

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Nov 08 2023

It's so so good. But is it 4 stars good? There is so much great music out there.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Nov 09 2023

It's so good. I was not expecting it to be this good. But other albums that have gotten a 4 are just absolutely amazing. This is super good. But not absolutely amazing. Still so good though.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 10 2023

There is too much good music. Not everything can be a 4.

xx by The xx
Nov 14 2023

It was really good. This is a strong 3. It just is not that special. But it's good.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Nov 15 2023

So much better than other 3 star albums. But not as classic as the 4 stars. But it's good. But it also all sounds the same. And a bit boring. But still good.

Nov 16 2023

This may be the best 2. But I have rated so many things 3s that are so much better than this. This should be a 3, but in comparison, it's a 2.

So by Peter Gabriel
Nov 17 2023

It's good. But it all sounds the same. It's a vibe. But not as good as Phil Collins or Morrisey.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Nov 20 2023

Really fucking good. Really really good. Still not a 4.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Nov 21 2023

All the hits are 4s. And they are super strong 4s. But the other songs are all good, but they all sound the same.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Nov 22 2023

I really wanted to give it a 2. It's just covers without any lyrics. But damn, it is definitely better than a 2. Good background/working music.

New Forms by Roni Size
Nov 23 2023

It's better than a 2. It's good. But it's not at the level of other 3s.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Nov 28 2023

Karma Police and No Surprises are absolute gems that make the album so much better than it should be. Without them, it's a really good album. But not amazing. Those 2 songs are amazing. Other standouts like the Tourist and other songs are better than good, but not amazing. And the rest of the album is really good. But In Rainbows is so much better as a whole. But Karma Police and No Surprises are better than an individual song on In Rainbows.

Nov 29 2023

This album is as good as Courtney Love is crazy. And it is fucking good!

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 30 2023

I like it a lot. But I have given so many better albums a 3 that this needs to be a 2. But still way better than Cee Lo Green.

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 01 2023

This plays like a greatest hits album. Every song is amazing!

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Dec 06 2023

I actually really liked it. It's enjoyable and good working/background music. But it's not that special.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 07 2023

Only the hits would make this a 5 star. But it's all so good. Even the non-singles are great.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Dec 08 2023

It should technically be a 3. But it's special to me. It's a 4 for me.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Dec 12 2023

Paint It Black and Under my Thumb are 5 star songs. Everything else is a very solid 3 stars. Never under. But those 2 are so amazing that the whole thing is a 4.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Dec 13 2023

Super interesting. Like NIN meets the Ramones. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Still a 3.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Dec 18 2023

It's a lot of fun. Not blow your mind but really fucking good.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Dec 19 2023

It was super fun. I remember this being a huge hit on the radio. Lot of fun to listen to. But not anything brilliant.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Dec 20 2023

Really really good. I really like it. I wish we had a better rating system. This is like a 3.4. Not a 3.0. But it's missing something to be a 4.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Dec 21 2023

So I enjoyed it. But everything can't be a 4.

The White Room by The KLF
Dec 22 2023

Really good working music to have in the background.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 25 2023

I really liked it. I just couldn't love it. Aqualung as a single is perfect though.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Dec 28 2023

Ok, let's remove all the racist shit. The songs are catchy. But they all sound the same. He is trying to be a weird sounding Billy Joel, but nothing is amazing like Billy Joel's songs. Everything is just catching but all the same.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Dec 29 2023

It's good music to have in the background while you work. But in this specific genre of background music, much better exists.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 01 2024

I get it. I get Iggy. I get the Raw Power single. I know it's importance. But it doesn't move me.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jan 03 2024

I wanted to give it a 2. But it's too good for that. And the "A lion sleeps tonight" song is really good.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 04 2024

Really fun idea and executed well. Great to music to work to.

I hate bono so much. But credit where credit is due. The singles are good. But everything else is so blah. But it's definitely not a 2. Even though I want to give it a 2.

Cross by Justice
Jan 08 2024

So much fun. So good.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jan 12 2024

This was really good and a lot of fun. But not special enough for a 4.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 15 2024

So good! So special.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 16 2024

Really fun.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jan 18 2024

This was surprisingly good. And really great to have in the background while working. But it is not special at all. Can't be a 3 compared to the other amazing 3 albums.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jan 24 2024

I actually really enjoyed it. But I have rated so many amazing albums a 3 that giving this a 3 didn't feel right. But it was a good listen.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 25 2024

I wanted to give it a 4. Criminal is so good. But I just couldn't get into it that much outside of that song. But it's good.

My Generation by The Who
Jan 29 2024

I wanted to give it a 4 so badly. But I came in with such high expectations and the album just did not meet them. I wanted to love it so badly but I didn't.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 30 2024

So fucking good. Especially the first and last song. I want to rate it better, but I just didn't connect as much to it as I thought I would. But it's so good.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jan 31 2024

I wanted to give it a 2, because I have been giving so many amazing albums 3s. But I just can't give this a 2. It deserves to be a 3. Forgot how talented he was.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Feb 01 2024

I actually really liked it. But everything can't be a 3 and I need to draw a line somewhere.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 02 2024

Again, I wanted to give this a 2, since I have been giving so many amazing albums 3s. But I can't rate this a 2. It starts so fucking good.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 05 2024

So much fun and so so good. There is so much amazing music!

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 06 2024

Overall, I really wanted to give this a 2. Lyrically, every song is amazing. And the beats and lyrics and beats on the singles are perfect. But the beats on the other songs are really disappointing. But lyrically it's too special to be given a 2.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 07 2024

I hate Billy Corgan so much. I hate him. And I hate how good this album is. It is so good. From such a douche. Hate that I have to give it a 4. it's so good though.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Feb 08 2024

It was good. Interesting. But nothing special.

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 09 2024

Almost every song is amazing. There is a reason all college kids go through a doors phase.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 12 2024

I was going to do a 3. But there are so many classics on here. Can't do a 3. Doesn't do the classics justice.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 13 2024

Wanted to give it a 2 since so many amazing albums have been given a 3. But it was good. Unique. Special.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 14 2024

It's good to work to. But there is nothing special about it.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 15 2024

I actually really enjoyed this. So a 2 isn't giving it justice. But so many amazing albums are at a 3 right now that this just doesn't cut it. But it's good.

California by American Music Club
Feb 16 2024

Not bad. Nothing special.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 19 2024

I really wanted to give it a 4. It's so good and it's a classic for a reason.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 20 2024

Really good. Pink Moon is an amazing song. But the rest of the album did not blow me away. It was just good. Not amazing.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Feb 21 2024

It's actually not that bad but every single song is the same and the racist album was general better outside it being so racist.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Feb 23 2024

Disappointing, but only because 2 of his other albums were absolutely amazing and perfect. And this is still a 3.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 27 2024

It was really good. But not special in any way. Still fun to listen to.

Mar 01 2024

It was good. But I've heard so much better in this genre that got a 3. So this is a 2. But not in a bad way. Just compared to the other amazing country records.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 07 2024

2 of things songs remind me of my wife so much that this needs to be a 4.

Odelay by Beck
Mar 08 2024

It's good, but not amazing. Still really good.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 11 2024

I was going to give it a 2. But it's 2 good for a 2. It gets a 3.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Mar 21 2024

Really good. But I still can't connect to jazz/blues enough to give it a 4.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 22 2024

As expected, it was really good. Everything is a 3 .

1999 by Prince
Mar 25 2024

I'm biased but I just can't give this a 3.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Mar 27 2024

I actually enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. It's really good. But I've given so many amazing albums a 3, because classic albums are a 4, so this can not be a 3. But it's a very good fucking 2.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Mar 28 2024

I wanted to give it a 1 because I have given such good albums a 2. But I just can't give it a 1. It was too good for that. We need a better rating system

Mar 29 2024

It's queen and it has killer queen. Needs to be a 4

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 01 2024

Really good and extremely bland at the same time. If it was a normal band, I would say it was an ok album. But it's steely dan, so this is disappointing.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 04 2024

It's not a bad album. But I've given so many good albums a 2. This is just blah.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 05 2024

I was originally going to give this a 2. Then I decided on a 3. And here we are at a 4. That's CCR for you.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Apr 08 2024

It's really good. But compared to some amazing albums at 3, this has to be a 2.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 09 2024

This honestly should be a 3. But it's the Boss and some songs have a lot of special meaning to me.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Apr 10 2024

I've been giving too many amazing albums a 2 that this needs to go down to a 1. But I actually like it.

Protection by Massive Attack
Apr 12 2024

I liked it. But it's no where near amazing.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Apr 16 2024

His version of unchained melody turned this into a 4

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 17 2024

it was ok.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 19 2024

Wanted to give it a 2. I ended up like it too much. Way catchier than expected.

Apr 22 2024

I wanted to get give it a 2 at first. But wow, it's too good for that. A really strong 3. It's such a good album.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Apr 23 2024

Enjoy the Silence, Personal Jesus, Policy of Truth. This on its own makes it a 4. So good.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Apr 24 2024

So much better than I was expecting

It was much better than expected. An incredibly strong 2.

Apr 30 2024

May 02 2024

This is the Bee Gees. So disappointed. If it was a random act. A low 2. but this is the bee gees. Everything was so forgettable.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 03 2024

Was going to give this a one. The album as a whole is forgettable. But the Killing Moon is so amazing. The song on its own is a 4. Bumped the whole album to a 2.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 06 2024

This was really good. More than the singles good.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 07 2024

So good. But not as amazing as their other album.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 08 2024

So disappointed. If this album were by anyone else. Easily a 3. But from the people that created Rumors?!?! Really. So disappointed. Absolutely too long. The brilliance gets lost in the blandness of it all.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 13 2024

It's a classic and it means a lot to me.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 14 2024

Very very strong 1. It's a really good album. But still.

1977 by Ash
Jun 06 2024

another really strong 1.

Jun 07 2024

not bad. But I wouldn't call it a strong 1 either. It's very blah. But good quality.y

Tapestry by Carole King
Jun 10 2024

Was going to give it a 3. And then "I will follow" came on. And then the way it ended. This is a 4.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 12 2024

Was going to go with a strong 1. But really enjoyed it.

Jul 17 2024

It's Morrissey. So it's really good. but also all the same.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 18 2024
