Jul 22, 2023This album is not at top 1 because of cringy TS fans, has to be the best alternative album of this century, a message on every song, this record saved lives, you are another person before hearing this. Radiohead changed the music with this one, weird fishes/arpeggi has to be one of the most beautiful song of all time, composition at what is called perfection. Pure art, 10 out of 10.

Aug 21, 2022All time favorite, best album I’ve heard literally, radiohead is the GREATEST
-
Jun 14, 2022I love this record so much. My jaw drops after listening to "Reckoner" or "Weird Fishes". God bless this album. Stunning songwriting and performances. "Nude" is a modern classic. Please listen to this album. This is a rock or pop masterpiece. Genre-bending genius. One of the best of their career.

Feb 12, 2022lacks any pretense: their aesthetic is organic and fluid, indicating a band that responds honestly and artistically to circumstance, rather than one that imposes a rigid, stagnant aesthetic for more idealistic purposes

Oct 23, 2021To put it simple: nothing bad to say about this album. every song is great.
-
Sep 11, 2021Right now, this one and "Hail To the Thief" are two of my fav Radiohead albums. Just brilliant.
-
Sep 8, 2021It's perfect. I love how it's experimental like Kid A and OK Computer but still stays rockish.
-
Jul 13, 2021Brilliant. One, if not the best album of 2007, and a highlight on their discography.
-
Jun 20, 2021Only 10 alongside with Turn on the Bright Lights. Just a perfect album with absolutely no flaws.
-
May 17, 2021This album is amazing. From the chilling transition into the 3rd verse on Bodysnatchers, to the electronic production on All I Need, to Thom's amazing vocals on Reckoner, truly one of the best albums of the 2000's.
-
May 16, 2021As some may say this is OK Computer II, well it's definitely not. In Rainbows is a whole new world, and I know it can be a little unsettling with all the different genres they explore in it, but that's the magic of the album, which up to date still sounds utterly original and modern. In my opinion Radiohead's greatest work.

Apr 25, 2021While i do think this album is pretty overrated, i can't deny how good it is. Tons of great songs are littered across this 10 album. I cant believe they gave this album out for free when it came out.
Best Songs: Bodysnatchers, 15 Step, Nude, House of Cards
Worst Songs: Faust Arp -
Apr 15, 2021Radiohead's most cohesive album. It combines their, The Bends era pop sensibilities, with the more eclectic and experimental nature of later albums like Kid A. It sounds like you're floating in space, enjoying the emptiness around you, as a virus has wiped out the entire civilisation.

Sep 18, 2020This is how a perfect album sounds like. There isn’t much music in this world that you could compare to In Rainbows. This record’s just... Oh my god, why would I even try to explain? Give this one a listen. Or rather a hundred. Experience it. Study it. Keep playing it over and over. This album changed my life & it may change yours, too.
-
Sep 13, 2020This is the best album of all time and nothing can convince me wrong.......
-
Sep 1, 2020It's easily one of their best albums, 'In rainbows' is a perfect collection of art rock, alternative rock and electronic sounds.
-
Aug 31, 2020This is a great album and an excellent update on Radiohead’s sound to make it more electronic. Thom Yorke’s signature voice is still present as he wails over every track.
-
Apr 24, 2020One of the best album of ever. It's contains everything i love in the music.
-
May 10, 2020Listen to 'In Rainbows' is an experience introspective, relaxing, comfortable, and so sweet, than you could ignore the sadness and depressing lyrics that this have.
An album about the meaning of being alive. -
Feb 6, 2020This album is a 10.0. I’d say it occupies 25% of my music listening. The other 75% by Anima, Kid A, and Doolittle lol.
-
Feb 1, 2020Amazing record! Possibly my favorite in Radiohead’s discography. It’s much less dreary than their previous albums and the listen is smoother in a sense. Also Nude is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
-
Sep 25, 2019My personally favorite Radiohead album.
Don't get me wrong, OK Computer is gorgeous but i personally enjoy more this album than any RH album -

Apr 26, 2019A truly beautiful album. Radiohead are a band known for changing things up and creating memorable music. This is one of my favourites from them, only bested by their masterpiece ‘OK Computer’. In Rainbows consists of 10 perfect songs, personal standouts being Nude, Weird Fishes and Jigsaw Falling Into Place.
-
Mar 24, 2019Favorites: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird FIshes/Arpeggi, All I Need, Faust Arp, Reckoner, House of Cards, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Videotape
-
Oct 26, 2018While OK Computer may be Radiohead's best record, In Rainbows is a very close second. Front-to-back phenomenal record.
-
Oct 3, 2018I don't mind paying $1,000 for listening to this album. No, really. It's sterling.
-
Aug 17, 2018My personal favorite out of the band's whole discography. It's almost a collection of all of Radiohead's strengths. It's colorful, vibrant, and oozes rhythm.
-
Jul 12, 2018Best Radiohead album since Kid A. The organic and electronic moments matchs perfectly. Every single song in its right place. These ones can even exhale bizarreness, but in right way and quite less than another albuns, giving place to beauty and, sometimes sensuality (as Nude), making, that way, songs sounds more tasteful and pleasant. Just excellent.

Dec 22, 2017Just dropping by to give my favorite album of all time (so far) its review. A lot of people would rank this album lower than OK Computer, or Kid A. But personally, this album is a gem in the radiohead discography. Love every single track on this album. It's 42 minutes of bliss.
-
Jul 31, 2017

Jun 26, 2017One of their best albums (and personally my favourite). It's consistent, blissful and emotional. Songs like Nude, Reckoner and Weird Fishes are incomparable to anything that I've ever listened to.

May 14, 2017Great album, most of the transitions work very well and all of the songs are great. It didn't overstay its welcome, and I see and agree with people liking this album.
Favorite tracks: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Nude, All I Need, House of Cards
Least favorite track: Reckoner:
Rating: 10/10 -
Apr 12, 2017This record will go down in history as one of the best of all time. Radiohead deploys their darkest of elements mixed with a bag of emotions and melodies that have not been yet heard before. Every song is unique and haunting. Yorke's songwriting is legendary.
-
Apr 6, 2017One of the biggest AOTY Grammy snubs of recent memory. Radiohead never stop surprising their listeners. 100 years from now, this album will be remembered.
-
Jan 23, 2017Typical ingenious Radiohead writing. Absolutely love the 15/4 feel of 15 Step to start off the album and the typical craziness / falsetto combo of Yorke in songs like Faust Arp.
-
Jan 20, 2017Life, death and love.
This album is for me the masterpiece of radiohead, the incorporation of art rock elements makes this album a symphony and a sing of the beauty of the world in life and how this end so fast. -

Sep 4, 2016If you only know Radiohead for 'Creep' and 'High and dry' then you should listen to this album. Also if you like all of Radiohead's discography, including 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' and their other more experimental work you should listen to this album. If you have no idea what a Radiohead is, you should listen to this album. Basically, you should listen to this album.

May 10, 2016Radiohead's 7th album seems like the third act in their experimental electronic soundscape (following KID A and Amnesiac). The album is more grower than shower, but still delivers amazing quality tracks. Download: Nude, House of Cards, Videotape.
-
Feb 18, 2016Finest Radiohead album and possibly the best album of the last decade. One of the warmest Radiohead albums with standout tracks including 15 Step, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi and Reckoner.

Jun 23, 2015Detailed to perfection, fast tracks slow tracks al flawless, my 2nd favourite from them. Reckoner, 15 Step, Bodysnatcher, Weird fishes, Al I Need, House of cards & Jigsaw falling into place, all instant classics to me.

Jan 20, 2015Arguably Radiohead's best work, although it has stiff competition from both Kid A and OK Computer. A complete explosion of some of the most beautiful sounds you will ever hear.

Nov 17, 2014It would seem impossible to create an album that in ten songs touches upon grief, death, ecstasy, love, and relationships in 10 songs. Radiohead(my personal favorite band), laughs at this impossibility and instead creates one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.
-
Oct 11, 2014After all these years it is still visceral, hard breaking and edgy - if it doesn't rip your heart out then you have lost more than you could ever imagine.
-
Aug 5, 2014Radiohead succeeded in making an awesome album using instruments. No effects, all the production went in making crystal-clear the sound of every piece of the puzzle.
This is an amazing masterpiece. -

Apr 14, 2014the best album of radiohead that I never heard, is the great album with balance, to the great album of great heavy and the great level of the bends and ok computer, the fans should have in this private collection, in format CD, or Downloaded, is the best album of 2000's era of RADIOHEAD
-
Feb 3, 2014One of my favourite radiohead albums...... there is not one song where you can say "meh"...... and skip it....... the album gets better everytime you listen to it.......

Aug 26, 2013Radiohead's most consistent album to date, In Rainbows is a calming, yet also complex experience featuring beautiful melodies and instrumentation. It is pure artistic perfection in every sense of the word.
-
Jul 31, 2013Amazing album deserves all the praise it gets. In rainbows is a really chilled out album and not as dark as some of Radioheads other work. Great album to relax to with a cup of tea
-
Jun 18, 2013Just pure perfection, easily Radiohead's 3rd best album, behind Kid A, and OK Computer, but this album is a lot different than anything they have ever done. This particular album has beautiful melodies and almost every song on this album you can listen to. Definitely the best of 2008.
-
May 13, 2013This is the first Radiohead's album I ever listened. My favorite song is 15 Step because the musical arrangement, that is so amazing. The whole album is beautiful and needs to be listened by all.
-
Mar 22, 2013Stop telling me what to listen to haters. gtfo of here and go listen to Justin Timberlake or Beyonce if you want über catchy pop on a "great" voice.
-
Feb 23, 2013A great record, all songs on it are worth listening to, and the best Radiohead since OK Computer. Although this may upset a lot of fans, it might even be better than OK Computer.
-
Feb 23, 2013"In Rainbows" is a colossal of modern music.Joyful,teary and full of humanity.Lyminous lyrics,great vocals,exquisite guitar efforts from Jonny.Best of the best
-
Feb 17, 2013Beautiful and sophisticated. On constant replay. These songs are simply captivating. I hope they do more along these lines, because I can't get enough of this, and I want more!
-
Jan 8, 2013A fully-realized new style for Radiohead in '07 lead to one of the best albums ever made, a rich, textural paradigm appropriately composed of an emotional juxtaposition of equal parts melancholy and joyous exploration of new ideas, new feelings. Instrumentally, you can't do better and Thom's voice on this thing has literally brought me to tears.
-

Oct 13, 2012Near the beginning I didn't really like it and felt that radiohead had begun to shy away from it's the bends/ok computer beginning(pablo honey didn't really count for most fans) but it started to grow on me as it progressed.
-
Jul 5, 2012Now that we're past all the pay-what-you-want hype, we can look at it objectiviely, and realise that this is their bets album, hands down. it's perfect.
-
May 14, 2012it was nice to hear radiohead return to playing together again. after all hail to the thief, thom got out of the band's way with his little solo record, and it's nice to see what came of it. this band plays well together in a way that very few other bands can.
-
Feb 17, 2012One of the boiling points of modern music. Absolutely stunning renditions of the finest pieces of music ever written.
-
Feb 11, 2012Unbelievably good , in every sense. I've never heard emotion expressed in music in a more beautiful way. The greatest album Radiohead have ever made.

Nov 15, 2011Outstanding, as expected. Probably Radiohead's most accessible effort; definitely good to start with if you're looking to get into them.
