Good Points: Faust Arp, Weird Fishes, Bodysnatchers, Videotape, All I need, Jigsaw Falling into Place
Bad Points: Nothing really.
General comments: As we transfer from 2007 to 2008, what better way is there to do it than with a new Radiohead album! "In Rainbows" was a highly publisiced "Download-only" release and just came out on CD. I had to buy it.
So you pop the cd in and here the almost hip-hop beat of "15 Step." You will be shocked for a couple of seconds, then hear Thom Yorke's high voice lightly whining and breathe relief. Then on "Bodysnatchers" you hear a snappy, somewhat angry Thom Yorke vocal and a almost heavy background which is somewhat reminescent of "Hail to the Theif". "Nude" is a slow song, not very impressive, but "Weird Fishes" is one of the standout tracks from the album, and boasts a very melodic and inviting tune. Everything from there, "All I need" , "Faust Arp", "Jigsaw falling into place" are great Radiohead songs, "Faust Arp" another standout, being an excellent acoustic track. Then comes "Videotape", a soft, piano based melody that works amazingly as a closer.
As a whole, like all Radiohead albums, it's better as a whole than any individual songs. One complaint, why did it take so long?

Finally Radiohead have recorded the best of their new material and called it In Rainbows. For the most part, it would seem that the band have, thankfully, scrapped the whole experimental phase and returned to the older 'The Bends' sound - this is especially true about the second tr ...

It will surely go down in music history. A mysterious website appears online announcing simply "Radiohead have made a record. So far, it's only available from this website." No official logos, no explanation, no adverts, nothing. To call this low key would be an understatement. The first instinct of anyone remotely familiar with the thousands of unofficial fan sites buzzing around the net nowadays would pass it off as nothing more than a rather unconvincing hoax. But remarkably it was no such th ...

Radiohead's 7th studio album, In Rainbows is a set of unique songs that starts off strong but at times, sounds unsure and even uninspired.
