there is not much to choose between any of the radiohead albums, but in rainbows excells. they have never stood still, but this is genius. they could have done what oasis did and release 10 versions of the bends, but no. thiis is what makes radiohead unique, bless 'em
One of their best? June 15, 2008

I was always a lover of OK Computer, and this is another object of love.
It's a great album, with nothing in the way of padding. It may not be as great as OK (OK was a landmark in many ways), or it may be as great, in a different way: I've yet to make up my mind.
I'll be revisiting some of their other - between-times - releases as a consequence. They will be different, I know, but equally worthwhile, I predict.
 Nowhere near as good as the 2007 live versions June 13, 2008

For those lucky enough to have heard the live versions of these songs found on the Internet from their 2007 American tour, they'll probably notice they grooved and moved far more to those tracks than the extremely boring, mellow versions found on "In Rainbows". Thom was inspired as all hell at those shows, and it showed in the music, but this album is simply a bunch of boring rehashes of great songs done way way better live on the small theater stages in 2007. And what the hell did the band do to "4 Minute Warning" on the bonus CD?! They butchered what was probably their best song since "Exit Music"!

Review No 103 to date and if you're a Radiohead head you probably wont have read any of them before rushing out to buy or download this magnificent piece of musical mastery. So I suppose this is for the newcomers, and there will be plenty. Do you know that approximately one million people celebrate their 16th birthday every year, and that's just in the UK. 'In Rainbows' is a good place to launch your Radiohead obsession. It's probably the most accessable album since 'The Bends', its easy to get on with. You could describe it as 'easy listening' by Radiohead's standards. You wont have the same relationship that you might have with 'Kid A' or 'Amnesiac'( my favourite RH albums)It will be your friend for life, no mood swings or the silent treatment. No tantrums or funny looks. 'In rainbows' will, quite simply , be your best mate until you crock. Please don't buy the singles. Why Radiohead ever decided to be a singles band is beyond me. Stick to the albums and enjoy the concepts. Once you've grasped them you'll really start to enjoy the music.
Anyway what do you think to this. When I first heard Radiohead, a couple of days after they'd released 'The Bends' I was a mere thirtysomething. Now that I'm a fiftysomething I have a bit of a problem with my pork pies,yes it's good that they're using more paper as opposed to plastic in order to reduce the said carbon footprint and hence save the planet, but the lyrics are printed so small I have to have every light in the house on so I can read them...... Thom you haven't thought this through, if you want to save the planet print the bloody words BIGGER!!
