Free Music Review: Radiohead does it again
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't think anyone would debate that Radiohead has been on the cutting edge since 1995, but I don't think anyone was expecting this album's unconventional method of release. I'm talking about is the famous "name-your-price" download sales method they chose. That is cutting-edge. This way, the record companies can't screw us over. I was disappointed that they stopped the online download in mid-December, but hey. You can't have it all. Anyway, the music itself also received a lot of critical acclaim, and I see why - as a first, it's their most accessible, energetic effort since The Bends, and it's a fantastic set of songs too. My favorite song is "Reckoner". Thom Yorke's vocals are quirky, haunting, "sixth-instrument" type, the harmonies are gorgeous; the beats are complex and danceable; and I love the orchestrated section. Another highlight is the atmospheric "Nude", a piano-based ballad which serves as a sequel-in-spirit to "Pyramid Song"; Phil Selway stands out on the energetic "15 Step"; "Weird Fish/Arpeggi" delivers beautiful guitar parts; the love song "House of Cards" has mellow Stax-Volt riffs and vocals that channel Al Green - it's almost soul music, if you exclude that warm, comforting wall of orchestral effects; the quiet folk-rocker "Jigsaw Falling into Place" books along pleasantly, adding just a dash of country; "Videotape" actually has a hopeful, minimalist melody. I'm not so sure about a couple songs - "Bodysnatchers" is too fast-paced to attain the eeriness the synthesizers try to convey, and I don't like how those synthesizers clash so badly with the heavy guitars; "Faust ARP", while too brief and quiet to really get on my nerves, does have cloyingly repetitive lyrics. And while "I Need You" starts off nice enough, I'm not a very big fan of the last two minutes, when all these layers of noise are coming at you. But it's got Radiohead successfully branching into previously unexplored territory, and the melodies, lyrics, and arrangements are brilliant as they always are, so my small complaints really are meaningless. Besides, I even like parts of "Bodysnatchers", before they those synthesizer parts enter. In Rainbows is excellent even for Radiohead, a group with high standards. Best album of 2007.
