EddieCFeb 21, 2008Loved it at first listen - and more and more with every repeat. I'm tending to agree with people who claim this surpasses OK Computer - and that album I rate as one of my best ever.

SanderE.Feb 25, 2008Best record i heard in awhile..

Superd.Feb 26, 2008Album of the year.. Period.

StangoniFeb 5, 2008"In Rainbows" is wonderful. I don't think Paul R. gets it or has listened to it enough. Fans of radiohead will be undone! "Videotape" just kills me. This record just woos you to explore it. Must be listened to over a really good sound system or high quality headphones.

DanHFeb 5, 2008They always re-invent themselves and try new genre's....an electronic masterpiece

AndreP.Mar 28, 2008Reckoner, a song at the level of radiohead's best ones like just, creep, there there. The full album it's brilliantly conceived and shows that radiohead are the biggest band in the world nowadays, indeed.

TomH.Apr 10, 2008Best album since OK Computer, top ten of 2007.
-
-
TimTApr 15, 200810 10 10, they could end up being the best band of all time. In my books they already are. If you liked OK computer, this is for you.

-
DB.May 14, 2008To my ears, this is the best Radiohead album yet. This is where the ability to experiment and the ability to write a great melody intertwine to create a masterpiece that is not only ahead of its time, but is a classic that will hold up when all is said an done. This album makes you wonder how these guys can possibly get any better?

DEANMay 22, 2008Truely excellent.
-
-
TomW.May 5, 2008I only started liking Radiohead after hearing this one. Fantastic. Am now getting into their earlier stuff that I previously didn't care for.

MarhadiashaK.Jun 13, 2008Best album since OK Computer. Very recommended.
-
-
BrandonJun 14, 2008This is Radiohead's song album. There aren't any weird experiments like Kid A or Amnesiac ( although those were superb albums ) and the songs are all extremely catchy this time around. I listen to ALOT of music and I can honestly tell you that this the best album of the new Millennium and possibly Radiohead's finest work to date. I can't wait to see where they go from here!
-
-
BobertS.Jun 20, 2008Play this album when you're all alone, and play it loudly. It'll find its way down to the very center of your soul, and it'll make itself a very comfy nest. This is an album I'll be revisiting often.
-
-
BMV.Jul 20, 2008Great music from a (not always) great band, it follows the red line from The Bends, trough OK Computer and now In Rainbows
-
-
HannahL.Jan 10, 2009Soo good!! love love love love... genius.
-
-
IvanJan 11, 2009A review somewhere pretty much said exactly how I felt about this album: "An album Radiohead fans didn't even know they wanted." This will probably go down as one of my favorite albums of all of (my) time.

CameronT.Dec 31, 2009A really good album, my favorite of Radiohead. These are just a list of songs you can really get into, I did, and I await a new album to feel it all over again.
-
-
JustinL.Mar 26, 2009Amazing album. Can listen this album over and over again.
-
-
JustinH.Jul 1, 2009Brilliant.
-
-
DexStudJul 29, 2009In Rainbows is far from being Radiohead's greatest album. And it lacks the creativity and shear quality of Ok Computer. But standing on its own, In Rainbows is still one of the greatest albums ever! Each track is flawlessly polished and produced. And Thom Yorke's falsetto is mesmerizing!
-
-
TroySAug 21, 2009A decent outing, although lacking the innovation and creativity of "OK Computer" or "Kid A." Definitely more focused and refined than "Hail to the Thief." "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" is one of their best songs ever.
-
-
AndrewEAug 28, 2009The most quintessential Radiohead release. Their power of melody, rhythm and emotion honed into 40 minutes of pure bliss. Easily the album of the decade, and I suspect the test of time will see this piece become only further revered. I challenge anyone to listen to this album in full 5 times and not be hooked.
-
-
BrentHJun 12, 2010Stunning in its scope and beauty. Radiohead's finest moment. If the bass line in "All I Need" doesn't put a lump in your throat, what will?
-
-
GrahamWJun 17, 2010They're the best artists going--a great rock band at the top of their game and unafraid to experiment. The all have great musical intuition.
-
-
StefanoP.Nov 11, 2007This album is wonderful! I am a great fan of "Kid A" and this sounds sooo different... (maybe someone could find it more related to "The Bends" or "OK Computer") I definitely love it and it keeps growing. It's so warm, so real, so full of energy and of emotions...
-

bernardoa.Nov 1, 2007It´s really great for my ears

KyleN.Nov 1, 2007Damn near perfect. A definite feeling of equilibrium and relaxation.

ErichF.Nov 15, 2007Radiohead's best album. A true master piece. What else can I say? Please guys, keep doing music. You're the best at it.
-
-
BrennanL.Nov 16, 2007Great marketing idea, but at the end of the day it is really just another Radiohead album. Thats okay though. I do like the more minimal approach here though. A solid listen and I approve.

DavidR.Nov 18, 2007Like all fans I was waiting, but never d expected that i found my old good bands but in a new skin that fits then perfectly.

DomSOct 12, 2007By far the absolute best album of 2007. Perfect in every way - not a dud track on the record. Each track takes you to a new world and emotion. Thank god for Radiohead - this is music to get excited about!!!!
-
-
LizzieBNov 2, 2007No words to describe the beauty of this record, just buy it! I've been a Radiohead fan for 12 years now and I love all of their previous albums, but In Rainbows has something special.

DirtyT.Nov 3, 2007An album built on moments, the brilliance and the frequency of which carry this piece of work far enough for me. Suprisingly soulful. This is about as upbeat as radiohead get.
-

KiritoOct 13, 2007An amazing album!

-
-
NicholasCOct 13, 2007Really it probably deserves a 9.5 but that isn't an option. I mentioned that this new album was coming out to a friend the other day and he laughed and said "Radiohead - yeah, I listened to them in high school." I have a lot of stupid friends. Don't be like them.
-
-
msOct 13, 2007best sounding, best gtr/electro combination album yet. Still delcaring other bands useless.
-
-
RAyROct 13, 2007Very sweet. Nice, nice textures. I only wish the down loadable version had more clarity to it so that the listener could delve further into the more subtle tones and rhythms.

SebastianFOct 14, 2007You'd expect a band to run out of ideas, to start repeting itself trying to keep up with their fame. But Radiohead does not care about fame, or at least that is what it seems after every album they make, constantly changing and experimenting, that's why this album is so great, you've never heard this sounds before and probably never will again.
-
-
raggarOct 14, 2007Beautiful, honest, with a glimpse of what they have made during the last decade, their sound is still fresh, and touching, I think this album its gonna be an instant classic..
-
-
StanleyR.Oct 14, 2007This powerful album will grab you from the start, but it's still a "grower" - with each listen your appreciation multiplies, and it gets better and better. Filled with rich textures and emotions, this album paints a landscape in your mind.
-
-
GustavoR.Oct 14, 2007There is nothing to compare with, they are at the top of their game. And their game is one of the only hocks that push rock music forward nowadays. The album is beaultiful with delightful moments and harmonies without losing their characteristical tention and complexity. Its as avant-guarde as Ok Computer, as Sgt Peppers was... absolutely thrilling, song by song infatuating.
-
-
TedS.Oct 14, 2007Hail To "In Rainbows"! A solid, monolithic masterpiece that combines all their previous inspirations - just like a rainbow holds full color spectrum. This album sounds like Radiohead's brand new "Greatest Hits" collection written and recorded from scratch.

AndrewOct 14, 2007Very pleasing album start to finish. Just very smooth transitions all the way. Beautiful songs like Nude and Arpeggi make this record lovely. Tunes like Reckoner and Jigsaw make this record phenomenal.

davegOct 15, 2007there is a beauty here that i couldn't see coming, even in hearing the tracks before... even in knowing that it's radiohead.

-
-
RoyalJOct 15, 2007All hail to the kings! One of their best recordings which puts a lot of the disposable emo/garage band rock to shame. Their albums have a shelf life that is incredible. Ths album is yet another layered, honest, crafty construction that further reinforces that thought. If you don't feel any thing after listening to "All I Need" or "Nude" than try to open up to more sounds & styles.

coryB.Oct 15, 2007From soaring symphonies to incredible harmonies it doesn't get any better than this. It is the best piece of music i have heard in a long long time. So what were the boys from "Dusted Magazine" listening to?
-
-
BrandonDouglasOct 15, 2007Brilliance wrapped in complexity, wrapped in simplicity. Not until you start to know the album do you realize its beauty. Phil's drums are better than ever on this album, and other than that, there's too many great things to say about it,
-
-
ARAMOct 15, 2007Best Radiohead album since OK Computer. While the albums in between were leaps and bounds above their peers, this one will prove radiohead to be in the league of the Beatles and Pink Floyd. Listening to this masterpiece makes you realize how mediocre most popular music is out there today.

-
-
GrantBOct 15, 2007wow!! unbelievably good, easily their best since ok computer, and even that had one or two fillers on it.. the most complete album i have heard in years.. both lulling and attention grabbing, it gets in your head from the opening blips of 15 steps and doesnt let up until videotape ends.. amazing
-
-
LorenzoM.Oct 16, 2007Wonderful!
-
-
thiagot.Oct 16, 2007What kind of acid people from Dusted Magazine are getting? Still prefer Hail to the Thief but I can say that In Rainbows is fantastic! Thanks you Jesus, Mephistopheles, Faust and Satan. Later.
-
-
PeterL.Oct 16, 2007It's definitely up there with the big 3: The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A. Definitely different, but that's not a bad thing.

In Rainbows really does present Radiohead at their most full-blooded and confident.

Overall, the material feels more human, more honest, more assured.

Happily, In Rainbows is pretty, pretty good.
