In Rainbows

[Hector Gilbert]

I paid nothing for it and got a little bit more than my money's worth

[hatch89]

I find it to be their best since 'the bends'
I like all their albums
this one seems too mold their newer style in a more flowing way

[Elston]

I paid 5 pounds for this album (about $10 Canadian) and it is easily one of my favourite Radiohead albums and definately worth the money. Lyrically, I think it is their best. I'd say it is their most accessible, I've listened to it more than 10 times and haven't come close to tiring of it. I was NOT expecting an album like this either, which is typical of Radiohead.

I would rank it third best Radiohead album, behind OK Computer and The Bends, and tied with Kid A. High points of the album are "Jigsaw Falling into Place", "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi", and "House of Cards". I'm worried that the pick-your-own price thing and especially the "Nude" remix contest might be misconstrued as sales gimmicks, turning away prospective new fans. Still, high-quality material here, should not be missed.

I thought it was pretty good, but not their best album. However it wasn't their worst either.

I never even heard of Radiohead before I read about In Rainbow's pick-your-own-price deal.

(Coincidentally, I also listened to really crappy, pop music at that time)

I kept on reading articles about it in newspapers, magazines, and online news so I decided to get it (for free) to see what all the hype was about. I also expected Radiohead to be some hardcore metal band so I was really, really, really surprised by what I heard in In Rainbows. It was unlike anything I heard before and it ultimately got me into listening to "good" music instead of today's (mostly) crappy music.

In Rainbows is definitely one of Radiohead's best albums though.

That's cool nibbles.
I agree with nocode. I say it's their...third best behind the bends and ok computer.

Hail To The Thief is the best, most innovative, most even piece of musical art that I heard (excluding The Eraser - which is over the top)...
It's made me VERY disappointed at first but I gave it second chance after around half a year break... and after few weeks of listening it was still growing, still not fully discovered... it's by far the best that Radiohead gave to the world...
and I'm their biggest fan since Kid A so I guess I'm more the "experimental- stage-of-the-band" fan...
In Rainbows is really good - better than the Bends no doubt about it...
and I bought collector's edition...
