Summary: very nice but i think im done.
Comment: after 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must buy album
Comment: Not quite as good as Kid A or OK Computer but Radiohead is not trying to top those albums. Even though the album was essentially free through digital download, the CD is a must buy because the sound quality is much better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: In Rhapsodies
Comment: One of my fovourite CDs. Played it for a music loving friend who was so blown away by the beauty of this album he went out next day and bought it, Do I need to say any more? Sublime and superb. So beautiful to listen to.

Summary: Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here
Comment: I've wanted to like IN RAINBOWS since I got my CD (full price by the way) but with regret I have to say that this is music to sleep by, this is music by and for elevators, this is devolution. Ever since THE BENDS and OK COMPUTER it's been a long descent into electronica hell. "House of Cards" singlehandedly saves this one from eternal damnation. I'd wait for this one to be available for free before buying unless you're a collector. Perhaps it will age well, time will tell; but... I wager at the end of Radiohead's rainbows there'll be an empty pot of gold and a leprachaun laying nearby neatly garroted. Hail to which thief?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Amazing as Usual
Comment: I wish Radiohead would stop putting out masterpiece after masterpiece. They're really starting to become predictable. :) What great things can I say about this album that haven't already been said? Stellar as usual.

Editorial Reviews:

On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record's innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band's own website. Like so many innovations, it already seems funny both that it was such big news and that someone else of similar stature hadn't done it sooner. Some pundits were appalled that it took awhile to download the tracks if you tried to do it at the same time as thousands of other people, while others decried that the group was trying to kill the music industry (or save it). Little of the press seemed to focus on the record itself, which actually made sense because it was so entertaining and inviting, the most low-key album Radiohead has made to date. There's even a very straight-forward, simple, silly little love song, "House of Cards." It might be a bit lethargic, but the simple instrumentation of electric guitars, bass, and drums is lovely as heck. A handful of these tunes enchanted fans for years before finally being committed to computer "tape." This is particularly fitting as In Rainbows is the group's most "band"-sounding album since OK Computer. This is not a record that hits you over the head with how far this group is pushing the envelope; it's simply a phenomenal, well-crafted, and exciting album. As soon as it's done, you're playing it again. --Mike McGonigal
