    No filler, less gloom, all Radiohead. Still lightyears ahead of the rest. Still Towering Above the Rest

    This album is stunning and achingly beautiful. There is absolutely no filler here, and the band sounds the most genuine that they've sounded in years. I keep changing my mind on what the best songs are, because they really are all that good.

There is absolutely no filler here, and the band sounds the most genuine that they've sounded in years. I keep changing my mind on what the best songs are, because they really are all that good. Listening to In Rainbows takes you ona journey that is a bit of a rollercoaster, a bit of sonic orgasm, all with an undercurrent infused with a dark sense of love. I know I'm talking crazy here but the music has just captivated me that much. By the time the journey ends with "Videotape," you'll want to revisit it right away. As a fan I not only love the album but am happy for the band, for them to continue to reach new levels and to continue to put out music that matters. Hands down the best album of the year so far, possibly my favorite of the decade.… Expand

    beautiful album all in all. thom's voice is ethereal, the arrangements are lush, and the band as a whole sounds tight as usual. it may be differnt from their previous work because it's more upbeat, etc. but i feel this is the album they were destined to make at this point in their career. nude and faust arp are so gorgeous and sweeping that they truly make me sick to my stomach. beautiful album all in all. thom's voice is ethereal, the arrangements are lush, and the band as a whole sounds tight as usual. it may be differnt from their previous work because it's more upbeat, etc. but i feel this is the album they were destined to make at this point in their career. nude and faust arp are so gorgeous and sweeping that they truly make me sick to my stomach. can't expect anything less from radiohead.… Expand

    Se siente que el miedo despues de OK Computer empieza a ceder. Tienen el toque para las grandes canciones y otra vez se animan.

    All of the hoople over the unconventional release method may overshadow this album's true brilliance. Radiohead's songwriting has returned to Ok Computer-Kid A era strength, but their style continues to evolve. Given enough time, this album may rank amongst not only Radiohead's greatest, but the greatest of the decade.

    I had listened to almost every song on the album from concerts and the album still blew my mind, a mellow acoutic dreamscape that I will have on over and over and over again. Bravo!
