On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record's innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band's own website. Like so many innovations, it already seems funny both that it was such big news and that someone else of similar stature hadn't done it sooner. Some pundits were appalled that it took awhile to download the tracks if you tried to do it at the same time as thousands of other people, while others decried that the group was trying to kill the music industry (or save it). Little of the press seemed to focus on the record itself, which actually made sense because it was so entertaining and inviting, the most low-key album Radiohead has made to date. There's even a very straight-forward, simple, silly little love song, "House of Cards." It might be a bit lethargic, but the simple instrumentation of electric guitars, bass, and drums is lovely as heck. A handful of these tunes enchanted fans for years before finally being committed to computer "tape." This is particularly fitting as In Rainbows is the group's most "band"-sounding album since OK Computer. This is not a record that hits you over the head with how far this group is pushing the envelope; it's simply a phenomenal, well-crafted, and exciting album. As soon as it's done, you're playing it again. --Mike McGonigal

- Waste of money
I purchased this CD right after the release...Needless to say, I was sooooo disappointed. The tracks dragged on and I think I have tried to listen to it in it's entirety twice but can't.

- Mostly great
Great compilation of songs. Some parts of the CD dragged on too much for me, but overall I enjoyed it!

A lot of hubub over this album.

Bodysnatchers is absolutely rockin', Jigsaw Falling Into Place is great, and the rest of the album seems to be music I can fall asleep too. Radiohead goes way too close to being Coldplay snoozer music with a few progressive sounds and occasional addition of drums. The Bends and OK Computer continue to be the best albums, but this one ain't bad...it just ain't that exciting either.

Even though Thom Yorke has a degree in Art History, he seems to me like he majored in Advertising. The polar bear project that marketed "Kid A" serves as a proof that Radiohead knew how to exploit internet and its users. More than anything, Radiohead's is the art of commerce. It's not about what they sell, it's how they sell it. They're always in the right place with the right moves and they have a cult following that, as cults tend to do, follows. Since the dawn of this decade, masses of people tried to place their products on the world wide web hoping that they would reach out to someone who would spread the word. It's not so much about money as it is about fame. Numerous bands were offering their material for free just for a sheer moment of glory. Just like Chris Dahlen said, Radiohead took ... Read More

- Fantastic
Radiohead is a band who's releases continue to remain solid throughout over a decade of songwriting. While other bands dwindle in their creativity, they keep it up with every album. Every song on this album is great. "Nude" and "Reckoner" are two that practically give me a religious experience when I hear them. To call this album just "good" would be a devastating understatement and would rob Radiohead of their genius.
