In Rainbows

Vinyl still rules!

I really thought I had thee version when I bought the cd, but what a revelation the vinyl LP has turned out to be. If you own a good to great analog rig, Radiohead's "In Rainbows" LP will bring it out! Much more spatial and vibrant on vinyl, this emotional tour de force from Radiohead may indeed stand on it's own on cd, but the vinyl version has taken me on a very special voyage, indeed. Try it. It's awesome on plastic!

My favorite CD!

This latest CD of Radiohead is my favorite. I've played this disc over and over, and I still love it as much as the day I first bought it. In fact, I left a copy in a rental car and never got it back. I bought a new copy to replace it. I highly recommend this CD.

Excellent Grammy Award Winning Radiohead

This is my first Radiohead CD. I bought it for the Bodysnatcher track, which is genious. I quite enjoy the CD. If you like alternative, out there, artistic and experimental efforts-you will enjoy this. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It has some wonderfully crafted and imagined sadness and eeriness. Enjoy!

Great Overall Album

Love the intro to the album. Radiohead brings diverse melodies with high pitch, soothing bass, and boosting treble to create a great album. Check out the transition from track 4 to track 5! Great album.

Haunting.

Radiohead never fails to emit a borderline-eerie beauty, and 'In Rainbows' stays consistent with this. A beautiful album; Give the song 'Videotape' a listen and don't be surprised if chills run down your sprine.

A reviewer

This is one of the best albums I've heard in my life time. It's really great. I don't really know what else to say about it. It's really different from the rest of their albums, but not in a bad way. Kinda like Coldplay, each of thier albums sounds different from the last one, but still sensational. It takes a brave artist to change up thier style like that. It's good and I dont feel betrayed like a lot of bands today: Really great at first but then next album they turn mainstream and disgusting.

wonderful!

I really enjoy new and different indie type music and radiohead, i was pleasantly surprised. The beats are cool and eclectic and quite calming, nothing too crazy, sometimes good to fall asleep to but also amazing!

A Remarkable Album

A wonderful return, from one of the greatest bands ever. What the state of music needs. Not some American Idol pretty packaged corprate sound. Something that is real, with emotion. A band that cont. to get better with each album. Thank you again Radiohead.

Subtly their best album

Yeah, it may not have a song that sticks out like past albums -- although I think "Bodysnatchers" has a great hook that sticks out -- but in a small, subtle way this may be their best album ever. The whole album just flows beautifully from one song to the next, with so much texture in between that you have to really listen for. For a group that constantly tries to tweak, if not fully reinvent, it's sound, I'd give this props alone for not being a redux of "The Bends" or "OK Computer." Not too many others do that all that convincingly these days.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

from the opening note, Radiohead delivers big in their first album since 2003. In Rainbows may be short, but oh so sweet. Consisting mostly of fan favorites making their studio debut, the album is their most earnest and accessible since the legendary O.K. Computer. but of course does not compromise briliance. A song by song break down isn't necessary as the album floats along and should be listened in its entirety. Radiohead has established themselves not just as a band but as an entire genre, and there's somethign for all radiohead fans here. Crunchy guitar riffs explode for those who have been waiting for radiohead to revert to their mid nineties selves, and the blips and electronic mastery also make their appearances on In Rainbows as well. The album is simply beautiful and as always haunting and complex. with each listen you'll discover a new texture, melody line and you might even be able to decifer some of the enigmatic metaphores Thom laces through the album. Very much worth the wait, and a must for any music lover.

Radiohead Is Love

This album is special because not only will long-time fans love it, but those new to the band as well as those put off by the last few releases will, too. The music is accessible for new listeners while still being groundbreaking and inventive with their sounds and lyrics. Speaking of the lyrics-Thom Yorke is enunciating! I HIGHLY recommend this album to everyone.

more good stuff

as a qualified radiohead nut, i must say this isn't their "best" album...HOWEVER, i say that mostly because there's nothing that jumps out at me (no plastic trees or creeps or anything off any b-side). ALSO however, it is an amazing listen--not a thing on the album that you don't want to listen to it's calmer, a little happier (radiohead, really?), and smooth. enjoy!

'In Rainbows' shows Radiohead continues to soar

Forget about the endless insider industry chatter about “In Rainbows” being offered for download at whatever fans wanted to pay, Radiohead’s music plays front and center across “In Rainbows.” From the guitar-driven “Bodysnatchers” and hypnotic “Reckoner” to the beautiful “Nude” and “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” Radiohead continues to thrill.

One of the best albums I've ever heard

I will buy this physical CD, even though I paid $10 for the digital version. It's that good. It bothers me that so many people paid nothing for such a well-crafted piece of art. The songs are almost painfully beautiful. This CD is more organic than most of the other Radiohead albums and it turned me from a slight almost-fan to a devotee overnight. My favorite tracks are "All I Need" and "Reckoner." "All I Need" chokes me up every time. It's just so damn gorgeous. There is a moment in the end of the song when the piano and drums kick up and just swell in this melodic wave, and it takes my breath away every time. "Reckoner" has one of the best percussion lines I've ever heard, along with an aching falsetto that will break your heart. The lyrics are personal and intense, but not out of the range of normality...although sometimes it's hard to understand Thom. There is a sentiment for everyone here. I yearn for this CD when it's not on. How many albums can you say that about??

Snatches the Body & won't let go

This is the album you have been waiting for. It does not disappoint. Every single track is brilliant and if you don't get shivers from listening to it there is something wrong with you. If god wrote a song about love it would be All I Need.
