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.
-
-
HTNov 16, 2007The album has 4, maybe 5 great songs, but, beeing honest, no more. That leaves more of the half of the album in the point of view of your fast-forward button. It´s a pity, Radiohead is a band that really cans doing much more better than this.

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.

ReyadCOct 12, 2007They've done it again. The album plays into itself so well. Album Of The Year. Hands down best band on the planet. Can't wait to hear the bonus material

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.

JoeOct 13, 2007Only good track was the 2nd one (but that's just my opinion). Feel free to flame. Oh, and props to Radiohead for the whole fighting the system thing -- we need more bands that can do that.

cdubOct 13, 2007You never know quite what to expect from this band, but it always ends up being just really amazing.

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.

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.

NickNov 6, 2007By far the best Radiohead since OK Computer, and thats saying something. Like most Radiohead albums i wasnt that impressed by the first listens, but as i gave it time it grew on me. There are some not so great songs, but when it has its moments In Rainbows is up there with The Bends and OK Computer as Radioheads best.

MarkR.Oct 17, 2007Yes you know, I like the record, but sometimes I just want a damn distorted electric guitar. That's what I feel sometimes Radiohead has lost, angriness.
-

LeonH.Oct 17, 2007The musical equivalent of heroin.
-
-
Jamess.Oct 17, 2007I agree with the critic that said it had no climax. A good album that would have been excellent if it contained even one obvious single. I was left waiting for something to happen most of the album.
-
-
MarkDOct 17, 2007Not content with changing the way music sounds every few albums, Radiohead now change the way we buy music and solidify their status as the most important band since The Beatles.

HaNov 7, 2007RJ M, stop crying. I know its hard coming to grip with the fact that your taste in music blows. This album is pure genius!
-
-
MikeS.Oct 17, 2007More user friendly than Kid A, Amnesiac, or Hail to the Thief (all of which were great in their own way none the less) and more of a stylistic mix than previous outings, Radiohead give way to a warmer, more melodic, and less synthetic record - this is "the sound of Radiohead coming back down to Earth" - Fantastic
-
-
EddieOct 17, 2007Beautifully dark and brooding. It has great potential, and may even top OK Computer, which God knows that's gonna be hard to do. Great effort.
-
-
OtmS.Oct 17, 2007best Radiohead outing since "Kid A", maybe since "OK Computer" - what a relief.

-
StephenB.Oct 17, 2007Radiohead is the most overrated band ever! They are a more boring, more obscure, but more experimental (for experimentalism's sake) U2. They are obviously talented, but maddeningly hollow. Sorry.
-
-
JamesW.Oct 17, 2007Combines all of the greatest traits of their previous work seemlessly into one masterpiece of album. Not a single note wasted.

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.
