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!

adamb.nOct 12, 2007radiohead at their absolute best i dont recall having as many chills as that from an album since ok computer

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.
10/10 -
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.
-
-
MagnusESep 18, 2009Amazing. End of story. OK Computer II
-
-
StacyHOct 13, 2007Absolutely love this album. From the awesome 90's college rock type songs like Bodysnatchers to the tranquil harmonies like All I Need, I am really loving this album. I'm on about my 20th listen now and I don't see my self stopping anytime soon.
-
-
PatrickDOct 17, 2007a lot looser and dare i say it, a lot funkier than anything theyve done. that said does it stand to their pinnacle as the greatest guitar rock band in the world: no. its a pleasure to listne to as radiohead sounds like theyre having fun. hopefully this leads to a warmer more emotive music in the future versus the cold rather boring stuff of the kid a-amnesiac-httf era
-
-
jasonz.Oct 18, 2007This is starting to seem like their best album yet. I get the feeling that they are less afraid of pop music, especially based on Thom's latest quote on the blog. But this hasn't changed their obsession with making excellent and unique sounds. It just might make a little bit more sense to the average music lover than "Hail to the Theif", "Amnesiac", and "Kid A".

WSiewJun 29, 2008Nothing beats OK computer but this still stirs.
-
-
BenRNov 1, 2007Quite possibly the best record of the decade, maybe even since "OK Computer". Grab some headphones, put on "Nude", turn it up, close your eyes, and enjoy.

TimCOct 13, 20077/10 compared to their other albums. It is good, very good in places. But it isn't up the
re with OK Computer, The Bends or even Kid A. -

PaulC.Oct 14, 2007What is Dusted Magazine and why does it get a vote? This is hands down one of the best albums of 007. Worth every penny you decide to pay for it.

justinzOct 14, 2007Best Radiohead album since Kid A. Dare I say it even rivals OK Computer as Radiohead's best album...

RyanT.Oct 24, 2007Listening to In Rainbows takes you from the bottom of the rainbow over the clouds and back down to earth at the end. Truly blissful.
-
-
ColbyS.Oct 24, 2007At first listen, I was only impressed by All I Need and Videotape. However, like most of the best albums out there, this one's a grower. Upon further listening and delving into the beautiful idiosyncrasies, it's warm and dreamlike. Really quite impressive, and in its atypical minimalism, a true step for the band. Excellent.

MandyJ.Jan 2, 2008This is their best album since OK Computer. I was skeptical at first, but I am glad I listened. Simply beautiful.
-
-
JohnS.Jan 5, 2008There's no doubt about the quality and genius of this album. Like all post-2000 Radiohead releases, it does take a few spins to begin appreciating, but the more you listen to it, the better it gets. Go ahead and treat yourself with Scotch_mist if you haven't already, it worth all your time. Best album of the year for me
-
-
JyotirmayaDJan 9, 2008After listening to Kid A, I thought Radiohead were the most self-indulgent band to listen to. Well, what ya know... the critics hailed it as very good so I gave "In Rainbows" a listen. It was user friendly as they said it was.... and yes, I like it...like it....not Love it...
-
-
DaveP.Feb 9, 2008This is NEW, in the sense that Radiohead seems to consciously implode, then explodes again renewed. Great album, a graduate of their last.
-
-
JackL.Apr 10, 2008I'm a recent fan of Radiohead, and In Rainbows was the first one I listened, because of all the good critics about it. I can say this is THE best album so far. As I have read before in other coment: Album of The Year. Period.
-
-
OsianLMar 6, 2009One of the best albums I've ever listened to. Beautiful, innovative, smooth and deep- I just can't get bored of it.
-
-
brojApr 6, 2009Seldom does an album actually deserve a 10, this one clearly does. It's a work of great beauty and shows the amazing talent of this seminal band. A great return after a slightly disappointing Hail To The Theif. Album of the year.

MichaelLApr 1, 2010Another brilliant album from Radiohead. A mix of alternative and electronic, a true collection of great hits. Although it may not be as good as some of their older albums it's nothing short of amazing with a new experience of songs waiting to be explored!
-
-
PabloMApr 21, 2010In Rainbows finds a good balance between the melodies and the duration of the songs. Creating a sensation of emotional lightness, that makes this easy-listening album atractive. Also the songs seems to flow, making us willing to hear it.

MikeSOct 13, 2007One of the most beautiful records I've heard in a while. Yore's vocals sound better than ever, as they soar through lush string arrangements and ambient sounds. Some of the climatic moments on this record are so powerful that if you don't feel something you must have no nerve endings. Absolutely mesmerizing.
