[zeb]

Radiohead are in the studio right now.

[Alex]

will this album attain totality of godheadedness?

[CopperTom]

Wrong band, Alex. I hope it attains beeps-n-boops-head status.

i am ever closer to figuring out what godhead means in the context of describing music

feces account.

I haven't cared about this band since Hail to the Thief. I don't really get the love for the last couple albums.

i didnt listen to their last album until i saw them live supporting it, mostly b/c i wasnt big on In Rainbows. i was pretty happy with the show, and i def like the last album more than in rainbows. the last two albums might be weaker than their other albums, but it still sounds like radiohead.

In Rainbows is such a fantastic record.

[Birds in Hell]

In Rainbows is such a fantastic record.

Arguably their best.

[Rangi Guy]

In Rainbows is such a fantastic record.

Arguably their best.

Not sure I'd go with their best - but it was pretty damn good. Hail To the Thief made me lose a bit of interest in Radiohead. In Rainbows bought it back

[zeb]

It's certainly more focused than HTTT. The second side is incredible. I'd have it in a second tier under Kid A, OKC and Amnesiac, maybe even on par with Amnesiac when the mood strikes.

[LoathedVermin72]

That's baffling. I don't understand how someone could rank IR alongside albums like OK Computer, Kid A, Hail to the Thief, or even The Bends.

Alongside? Try way above.

I have never understood the praise for "The Bends."

[Orpheus]

That's baffling. I don't understand how someone could rank IR alongside albums like OK Computer, Kid A, Hail to the Thief, or even The Bends.

Are you saying you of all people don't understand subjectivity? All of their albums are high quality and strike very different moods, so it makes sense that everyone's favorite is different. I like Amnesiac best but In Rainbows has a lot to recommend it.

[ridleybradout]

I have never understood the praise for "The Bends."

I hear ya. Street Spirit is absolute top tier RH, and Fake Plastic Trees, Just and My Iron Lung are obviously great songs, but I think most of the rest is overrated (especially 'The Bends' the song).

In Rainbows appears to be underrated by a lot of casual fans...

Nah, of course I UNDERSTAND. I should've chosen my words better. It's just that those other albums are so fucking good and IR seemed DOA to me. It's like someone saying Human Touch is the best Springsteen album or something.

In Rainbows is such a fantastic record.

Arguably their best.

Easily their best, for me.

[CopperTom]

In Rainbows is such a fantastic record.

I relistened to it today. I still feel the same about it now as I did when it came out - nothing that great, nothing that poor, just a lot of songs that are "there."

[epilogue]

In Rainbows is such a fantastic record.

Arguably their best.
