After one week we would be able to definitively say that Radiohead was no good, and that we gave them a fair chance. We decided that we would download In Rainbows since it was "Pay What You Want" and at the time I wanted to pay nothing. After the week was up, we both decided that we were completely wrong. This album now ranks in the top 3 albums for both me and him of all time. I have since bought the physical copy of this and many of the other Radiohead albums. "  [+]  Reply

"I am one of those people who have always thought that Kid A was superior to OK Computer. As impressive as OK Computer is, Kid A is the greater achievement because it was Radiohead totally reinventing themselves."  Reply

Yes, it has great songs.; yes, the production is good and the orchestration well done; but it has a lot of problems. To start there's a massive amount of filler here. Half of the tracks are filler and whoever says anything else is not being realistic. The first half of the album is packed with great songs, but after Chicago it becomes a bunch of filler. Now, the good tracks are great, but not as genio us as people think. They draw a lot of inspiration from the Smile era Beach Boys. The song and album structure is almost a copycat: a lot of "passages" -the Beach Boys are very superior in this matters-, a long over the top song with lots of little pieces that make it feel like a symphony. The list goes on. In my opinion this album is just OK. It has good songs but the amount of filler kills it. Even without the filler, is not reinventing the wheel as most people think."  [+]  Reply

"The songwriting is top-notch, it's not as experimental as everyone suggests, but it sure as hell not Appetite for Destruction either. There isn't a bad song here and for those accusing it of being boring need to listen more carefully, there is a lot to enjoy from this album it is just very discreet."  Reply

The thing I like best about this is that as calculated as it is, as methodical as every guitar prick and drum beat is, there's still tons of imperfections present. The soft-buildup-crescendo-loud dynamic is fairly formulaic, but it works here because of how they pull them off. In Sleep it's not just a buildup, or a crescendo, but a smorgasbord of horns and all kinds of instruments. From the opening note until the peak there's a constant sound that's holding your attention. In Static it threatens to explode...and then doesn't. Even after three or four listens I still expected the guitars to get louder at that one part (too lazy and tired to look up when it is). By the time the final movement roles around it's as if the musicians know we're onto them. After several minutes of droning and in near silence, it just gets louder, no buildup, no warning. And there's no set mood given off (except for the beginning of Storm, that part's pretty triumphant). Post rock that gives off a creepy or dark vibe is sometimes fun, but music that leaves the mood to the listener tends to work more often. Scaruffi complains that the spoken word parts and interludes seem to have no purpose, and he's right. But why does that matter? You're in a desert of noise, you start to hear voices, and what do they say? They tell you not listen to the people trying to wash your windows. There's such a sense of mystery there that it really draws you in and makes you think. The second spoken word part is genius - like I said earlier, the mood of the album typically feels neutral, but as you hear the speaker say "and when you see the face of God you will die" chills run down your spine, no matter how the music previously made you feel. Sometimes when bands throw in spoken parts they seems like they're trying too hard to shock you *cough* Swans *cough* In this case you're flying through an ocean of noise, trying to get back to reality, but all you can catch are little glimpses of people's thoughts as you fly by. I don't think any of that made any sense. TLDR, it's a great album that demands more attention than many instrumental pieces. I hate the word epic, because this is not striving to be grand or entrancing, it's striving to make you feel."  [+]  Reply
