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.
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.

ChrisB.Nov 11, 2007Every Radiohead album since OK Computer has been vastly overrated, overhyped, and over dissected by music critics, this one isnt any different. This time though, half the songs dont seem to lead to anywhere except some sort of hungover dream state.

DanielC.Nov 3, 2007Terribly disappointing outing for Radiohead. Made me long for and choose their other material (any of it) over this rather dull set of songs. Sounds too much like The Rolling Stones meets Coldplay to be really considered anything at all. Every listen sparks more disappointment.

PaulR.Jan 29, 2008For all the acclaim, this is an incredibly boring album. Somewhere in their quest to conquer the world of critical acclaim they mistook 'interesting' for 'quality.'
-
-
DennisB.May 19, 2008Radiohead fans are such idiots! Although obviously good musicians, these guys can't write to save their lives. Of course the cult-like fans explain that away with claims of depth and accusations of "you just don't get it man." Don't worry, I get it: This is the most over-rated band in rock history.
-

TimmyT.Oct 13, 2007Radiohead is, to put it simply, way past their time. Stop making music for God's sake. Your done.
-
-
KevinT.Dec 6, 2007I just don't get Radiohead. I love the song Creep... but uh it stops there for me. I Have tried on numerous times and failed to see the genius. What the heck am I missing? Listening to Radiohead reminds me of the misery I feel when I have to listen to a Rush song on the radio.
-
-
Sep 22, 2010Like all their albums, this is experimentalism gone bad. They have very little to say, so they keep repeating themselves. Yuck. Unfortunately my girlfriend likes this crap so I am forced to endure more often than I care to recall...

ZachJ.Nov 9, 2007maybe rolling stone has never heard "roygbiv" from the boards of canada's 1998 release "Music has the right to children" before they heard the song "all i need". i guess 9 years is long enough that when radiohead uses the same beat it doesn't sound like any other band on earth. boards of canada = other worldly
-
-
JonG.Jan 31, 2008Compare this to Kid A is a crime, this is a boring repetitive album. I'm not a RH fan but this is a bad joke. Anybody here listen to Ok Computer?... Lets face it, Radiohead have too many fans, they don't do the effort anymore. This album is about fans, money and fame, not about music. I give 5 points for the great marketing campaign.
-
-
RobertVApr 21, 2008You know Smooth Jazz? This is Smooth Electrorock.
-
-
IbanLDec 16, 2007Kinda like okay, I guess. Despite the major marketing breakthrough the album itself lacks innovation and renovation. After Amnesiac (my personal favorite album of them) and HTTT this is pretty poor for me. It's like a fourth transitional album: And it does get boring.

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".

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

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.

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.
