RonSOct 12, 2007This is definitely their most consistent album since KID A. Every track brings something new and unique to the table. Bravo! We've got another masterpiece!

ScottHOct 12, 2007Solid. Their best album in 10 years. A return to form. "In Rainbows" will be talked about for many years to come.

MatthewSOct 13, 2007One of the most amazing albums to be composed. The fact that is scores one point higher than MIA and Arcade Fire is a joke, a really sad joke.

BenWNov 5, 2007I thought Spoon Ga*5 had album of the year nailed for sure - but this has blown my mind out. Best album since Funeral (2004). But lets wait for Grizzly bear's new one

BitBurnOct 22, 2007I was never a big Radiohead fan, really. Although I have always been curious on what they are doing because no doubt they are the most avant-garde UK band ever. So, for the first time I was not disappointed at all. In fact, this is a monster record methinks.

GeoffBOct 12, 2007I had listened to almost every song on the album from concerts and the album still blew my mind, a mellow acoutic dreamscape that I will have on over and over and over again. Bravo!

AlexBOct 12, 2007All of the hoople over the unconventional release method may overshadow this album's true brilliance. Radiohead's songwriting has returned to Ok Computer-Kid A era strength, but their style continues to evolve. Given enough time, this album may rank amongst not only Radiohead's greatest, but the greatest of the decade.

Jul 8, 2011Deep, powerful, electronic, jazzy, experimental, dark. This album may be a contender to be Radiohead's best album. Kid A and Amnesiac just got some competition...

Mar 16, 2011Most artists go through their career not achieving the greatest albums of all time. Radiohead did it THREE times. OK Computer. Kid A. In Rainbows. For nearly five years, the riff from "Bodysnatchers" is still scratching in my brain ever since. This album is a masterpiece. I'm not joking.

Jan 20, 2015Arguably Radiohead's best work, although it has stiff competition from both Kid A and OK Computer. A complete explosion of some of the most beautiful sounds you will ever hear.
-
May 15, 2017This album is 100% in perfectness.
Here"s why
1. even on the first listen I loved everything about it (at the time I didn't know anything about radiohead)
2. I like the cover.
3. it's not pretentious
4. it's not to depressing
5. it's relistenablility.

Apr 12, 2017This record will go down in history as one of the best of all time. Radiohead deploys their darkest of elements mixed with a bag of emotions and melodies that have not been yet heard before. Every song is unique and haunting. Yorke's songwriting is legendary.

Oct 3, 2018I don't mind paying $1,000 for listening to this album. No, really. It's sterling.

KeithROct 30, 2007Simply beautiful! - Soulful, lush. Right up there with The Bends and Kid-A, combining many elements of both offerings in a decidedly mature release.

nikv.Feb 4, 2008A flawless album with lush and beautiful arrangements underpinned by Thom Yorke's exceptional voice. Stands up to OK Computer and The Bends. A masterful achievement.
