Amazon.com: 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

This is one of those albums that can only be fully appreciated on vinyl. The sound quality is phenomenal!

Refreshing, emotional, mature, perfection, these are some of many characteristics I could provide to this album. In Rainbows represents the other side of Radiohead. If Ok Computer was intense, dramatic, and explosive, In Rainbows is exquisit, relaxing and encouraging. After more experimental works like Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief, Radiohead return to show us that they have no limits. Another masterpiece from them, maybe the best one.

Originally written on October 10, 2007...
Radiohead released their seventh album this week, amid much hoopla. The "pay what you want." feature has been debated on the web and in the media ever since it was first announced back on October 1st. Here's a question, though. How's the music?
Well, I'm happy to report that the music is excellent. While not the giant stylistic leap that Kid A was from OK Computer, there is definite evidence of growth on In Rainbows.
The first thing that jumps out at you is the percussion. Phil Selway's drumming propels the band throughout the album. However, it's the blending of the guitar-driven rock and more experimental material that seems to finally be reaching the heights ... Read More:

I consider "In Rainbows" the best Radiohead album. I cannot remember having listened to a CD as much as I have been for months now to this one. Not only one of the best Radiohead CDs but one of the best CDs in the last two years. Should be on everyone's CD rack or iPod.

This is the first Radiohead CD I've bought. Someone mentioned to me their sound was close to Coldplay and U2 so I picked up the CD.
This is a great CD. It took be five full listens before I started to really enjoy it but all the tracks are good and the music flows well from one song to the next.
Strong tracks include "Bodysnatchers", "All I Need" and "House of Cards".
Being the first time I've listened to their music, I would compare Radiohead more to the sound of Pink Floyd than Coldplay or U2 but I can see the comparisons with all these bands.
