New Radiohead album gives smug music thieves sense of moral high ground

[DoodleJump!]

i like it better than Hail to the Thief.  It sounds like a good mixture of Kid A and the Bends, though not quite as good as either. Overall, i think it's a great album.

I think I'm the only one who still likes HTTT better than In Rainbows. I have to listen to it in my car though, as it seems that's where I absorb music the best...

Right now it's just falling a little flat for me. But historically that happens with almost every Radiohead disc and eventually, after listening to it for a while, I get used to it and start to love it. But I think there were more tracks on the past 3 albums that really stood out to me as being insanely good, as opposed to this one where there are very few so far.

But Radiohead's my favorite band so I can be tough on them.

PS. Nude is, indeed, an AMAZING track.

I agree with you Erika. Even Nude doesn't blow me away that much and there were about 3-4 tracks off of HTTT that were absolutely great. Like Myxomatosis and The Gloaming. Nothing on In Rainbows compares to those songs.

I'm late to this thread 'cause I don't like Radiohead, but yay to JP for the Cuts mention. All 3 LPs are aces.

Going to see them May 9 in Charlotte.  Got rained out last time in Centerville, VA.  Cross fingers.

I prefer Hail to the Thief as well. Rainbows starts out strong but kind levels off after that. There is something very soothing about it though; it comes in handy during late night work sessions.

I just read that U2's manager, Paul McGuiness is publicly trashing Radiohead's internet release.

Careful dude, you're really closing doors to Bono's next duet options.
