Free Music Notes for In RainbowsFree Music Review: grows slowly with every listening Hit: 5 Starshighly recommended, one of the few rock materials in years, which is really bringing something new
Free Music Review: Welcome back, Radiohead Hit: 5 StarsThe Cliff's Notes version of my review would read: 'I find In Rainbows too beautiful, too dense, too tender and too tough to listen to without concentrating on the nuances in each and every track.' The music is worth absorbing to the last drop, particularly the savage delicacy of 'All I Need', the Spanish tinged 'House of Cards', and the nicely orchestrated 'Faust Arp'. At times the percussion dominates the mix, but hasn't this been tagged as 'experimental' rock?
Particularly nice to hear Radiohead's unmistakeable stamp on new material. While 'The Eraser' was and is a treasure, I missed the texture and timbre that return here in abundance. Satisfying to listen to all at once, or to indulge the guilty pleasure of repeating a song or two.
Free Music Review: best since ok computer Hit: 5 StarsThis is a brilliant and surprisingly accessible album, considering Radiohead likes to experiment and we, the listeners, were probably expecting something that sounded like it came from another planet. But In Rainbows is a wonderful lack of pushing any envelope; this is just an amazing album that satisfies any Radiohead fan. It's engaging and edgy and yes, accessible to even mainstream listeners who think Radiohead is maybe a little bit 'out there'. I say with great sincerity that this is certainly their best album since OK Computer; yes, it's that good. Taking nothing away from Kid A...I love that album, too, but this is just exceptional. My favorite tracks are Bodysnatchers, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, House Of Cards and Jigsaw Falling Into Place. How a band can take five years off and still make something this good is beyond me. Long live Radiohead!!
Free Music Review: Out there, but so good it doesn't matter Hit: 5 StarsI am a moderate fan of Radiohead, and while I have listened to most of their older music, I have only owned Hail to the Thief and this album. As for this album, it is just beautifully composed. These guys obviously see and music on a whole other level, which may good or bad depending on who you are. The band continues to evolve and create original music (and maybe it does take some drug related experience). If you are put off by the music originally, give it another listen, and also try to picture how this band put the music together (or watch a video of it). I think that is what made me fall in love with this album. I believe people who have reviewed this album negatively are giving emotionally powered criticisms, like Radiohead is screwing them personally, so just listen to the music and enjoy.
Free Music Review: very nice but i think im done. Hit: 3 Starsafter hail to the thief i had given up on that ok computer sound. when i heard in rainbows i thought it was better than what they had done in years but i just have to realize.there will never be an ok computer or the bends again from these guys.
i will keep buyin their cds and enjoying,but my obsession is over.
