DanOct 16, 2007Absolutely gorgeous. I can't stop listening to it! They are on such a higher level of musical talent than any other band I've heard.

KSliceOct 16, 2007Reckoner rocks. All I Want makes me well-up. Thealbum is almost unassuming in the way it warms up to you. I am wildly surprised by how much I like it - and how much more I like it each time I hear it. Even non-Radiohead fans will find at least one track they'll like.

ElvisP.Oct 16, 2007In Rainbows and Kid A are the best albuns of the decade!!!

AaronS.Oct 16, 2007Best album since 'Kid A'. I liked 'Hail to the Thief' and 'Amnesiac', but have to say that Radiohead haven't sounded this alive as a band in years. Compulsively listenable.

ToddW.Oct 17, 2007In Rainbows is a perfect amalgam of all that came before from the best band on the planet. While not groundbreaking like O.K. Computer or Kid A, Yorke, Greenwood, Selway, et al. show the pretenders just how to construct a melody quite unlike anything you've ever heard before. That's what keeps the fanatics, like me, coming back for more. A strong contender for album of the year.

jeremyOct 17, 2007I've never been a huge a fan of Radiohead, but this album blew me away. It flows smoothly, and every song is fantastic. And, it's fun to listen to! My one complaint? A lot of the songs sound similar. But hey, it makes for a superb album.

EstherOct 17, 2007Simply Amazing!! I'm still in awe that this is a Radiohead Album, they took their musicianship to a whole new level. It is definitely their best album to date and deserves a 10.

FredJ.Oct 17, 2007Others have said it best. "Hauntingly beautiful" I know it's a bit early, but I believe this to be one of my favorite albums by anyone ever. Beautiful.

JordanS.Oct 17, 2007It's like walking the arc of a rainbow, blissful beauty, but still threatened by the sight of the distant storm raging with madness. Great stuff.

-
HasbroM.Oct 17, 2007The tightest and most grippingly beautiful thing they have ever recorded. While it does not upstage their other work, it does add yet another new piece to their growing collection of outstanding albums and makes their older work sound that much more right.

herberth.Oct 17, 2007This new uplifting and radient album seems to be remnants of The Bends, Ok Computer and Hail to the Theif. It is a great way to pull all 6 studio albums together. This album ranks up there with the best of Radiohead!!!!!

PaulJ.Oct 17, 2007I would actually give this a 9.5 if I could, but I could not rank it a 10 since that would be in the territory of OK Computer and Amnesiac- albums which were a little more streamlined than this effort. However, this is still one of their best albums and definitely shows the ongoing effort of the band to be avant-garde. Fantastic listen!
