In Rainbows [Digipak] by Radiohead

Pros: Radiohead's most accessible, fun, romantic, and human album

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: In Rainbows may not be their best or more impressive, but it is their most human, romantic, accessible, and fun album. Excellent.

Review: There are two important threads running through In Rainbows that I feel are the key to appreciating it:1) This is Radiohead's most human album, full of songs about love, worrying about death, and wondering how it all adds up.2) ...

Pros: Godrich's Production, Performance, Consistency, Lyrics, & Musicianship.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: In Rainbows is a Brilliant, Versatile, & Sparse Masterpiece from THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD... Radiohead.

Review: When Radiohead emerged in 1993 with their debut album Pablo Honey, the Oxford quintet of singer/guitarist/keyboardist Thom Yorke, guitarist/multi-instrumentalis t Jonny Greenwood, bassist/keyboardist Colin Greenwood, guitarist/sampler/background ...

Pros: The ideal balance between studio wizardry and catchy songwriting was dang near achieved.

Cons: Maybe not as rock as some wanted. The hooks aren't as obvious.

The Bottom Line: It's an album dedicated to the human race, but humanity hardly deserves it. Beneath the weighty mood and effects, Thom and Jonny Greenwood are still post-modern rock gods.

Review: For this review, I’m not even going to address the big marketing hurrah that surrounded this album. However you get or got In Rainbows is of little concern to me, so long as you have it in your collection. I think there’s way too much ...

Pros: Profoundly personal and subdued

Cons: pyfr and knowncutter's reviews make this one unnecessary

The Bottom Line: I'm back, for those interested few.  (BS40: 10,000 cometh)

Review: In Rainbows is a quiet menace. It’s soft, but there are dark corridors that have a poison in them, an acid you can feel. Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle is hardly a groundbreaking album, but it came early in my musical journey and is ...

Pros: Thom Yorke is a genius, incredibly amazing lyrics and music, basically everything...

Cons: ...are you kidding me?!

The Bottom Line: In Rainbows is easily the best album that was released in 2007, and the best album I've bought in a long time.

Review: Radiohead is one of many bands that I’ve heard mentioned numerous times over the years, but have always sort of ignored. Sure, I could sing along with the chorus to Creep, and I was even familiar with songs like High & Dry and ...

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

The Bottom Line: "In Rainbows" is Radiohead's perfect rock record, setting mood and feeling perfectly in every song.

Review: Radiohead's latest album In Rainbows is perhaps a perfect rock record. It's not for everybody, and I know there's a group of people who wouldn't get it. But it does exactly what it's supposed to do and some. I want to write a review to share my thoughts ...

Pros: A truly wondrous work of art.

Cons: I can't listen to one song - I have to listen to the entire album!

The Bottom Line: This album is not pop music. It's not catchy sing along stuff - this is music that you can and should feel. The more you listen to more you'll understand.

Review: I must preface this review by acknowledging I am an unabashed fan of the band. Unfortunately more has been written about how this album was released than the music itself. While the direct "pay as you wish" strategy employed by the band is fascinating ...

Pros: Strongest collection of songs since OK Computer

Cons: Lacks the album flow of Radiohead's other albums

The Bottom Line: Though it doesn't have the same consistency as the past few albums, these ten songs are so good you'll hardly notice.

Review: My excitement was almost uncontainable when I heard that Radiohead had released their new album, In Rainbows for digital download. Radiohead used an innovative distribution technique; allow fans to pay as much as they want. Although many would ...

Pros: Sound, Style, Lyrics, Price

Cons: The years spent waiting for this Album

The Bottom Line: Get this Album, without price as an issue, no matter what you know or don't know about Radiohead's music this is an Album worthy of your time.

Review: Radiohead has long been one of my favorite artists. I own every CD and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. As with every new CD from an artist that I hold in such high regards I came upon In Rainbows with the hopes of reliving the nostalgic feelings that ...

Pros: Hearing the "real" instruments come out and play again (especially the bass) is sonically thrilling.

Cons: Gets a bit repetitive and tedious somewhere around track 7.

The Bottom Line: In which Radiohead weirds everyone out by not weirding them out.

Review: "It would be interesting to see what happened if they released the album very suddenly, with no advance warning of the release date, which I guess could happen if they went the indie route. I seem to recall Ki d A not ...
