Amazon.co.uk Review:
It's very likely that even if you haven't heard the contents of Radiohead's seventh album, you'll be aware of its existence. Released as a digital download by the band themselves before a CD release was even considered, In Rainbows was lauded for innovation before a note of music was heard. Luckily, the music matches the hype--it takes the best part of Radiohead's previous works and advances the formula even further. While the opener "15 Step"--all skittering drum patterns and dub-style bass--may hark back to the electronica of Kid A, the sound soon gives way to a more guitar-based sound. Whilst not as musically heavy as previous albums, the tunes are far more focused and passionate--"Bodysnatchers" is based around a hypnotic, distorted bass riff, while the beautiful string-drenched "Nude" is a true Radiohead classic. Lyrically, like Thom Yorke's solo album The Eraser, the lyrics are sketches of suburban paranoia, and the eerie sense of things no! t being quite right. This is especially true on the piano-based closer "Videotape", which poignantly details a man watching his life's achievements in his final moments. In short, In Rainbows is another masterpiece from the Oxford quintet. --Thomas Allott

- Radiohead do it again
Just how many more albums can Radiohead make of such quality? Other bands become very samey, or try to change and fail. Somehow Radiohead manage to change whilst staying the same and keep producing top quality albums. This album just gets better and better with each listen, and in my view a Radiohead classic already.
Rating: - Good old Radiohead
Doubtlessly Radiohead keep on getting better. One should hardly be surprised that Radiohead have maintained the status quo from Pablo Honey to present, and trademark of all their work one tends to think "I don't get it", but without fail one will always come to the conclusion of "I completely get it now!". I was no exception.
My greatest weakness when listening to a new album is to listen to each track in turn and skip it if I do not feel totally taken in after the first 30 seconds. ... Read More

- El Cangrejo
Puts forth your spine and surrender a flag
These are voyages of the Evil Knievel
Expanding the bridges antennae and jumps
Come back peter fly away tuvoc
Fly away cosine sine and tan
And angel delight on a spoon black with soot
Held in the flame while old nelix ruts
At the stroke of wine then he shoots it all up
And Kes unties a bandage
And retreats to her womb
But none of it was real
But all Superted's dream
And Spotty's in ... Read More
Rating: - "Paint the Whole World with a Rainbow!"
Just when most of us had given up on the band ever producing another truly great album Radiohead deliver 'In Rainbows'. It is a fantastic album. Ok, I'll admit it falls slightly short of The Bends and Ok Computer (if we must compare) but possibly only due to the trifling matter of including a couple less tracks than those two colossi!
It is great to see the band finally nail a few ideas they've been experimenting with on the last three albums - 'Jigsaw' and 'Weird Fish' completely destroy ... Read More
Rating: - Retrogressive, but still very listenable
Throughout their career Radiohead have proven that they can:
1) Write very captivating songs in a specific mood;
2) Challenge convention and deftly experiment to great effect.
For example, the PH and The Bends slots nicely into category (1), OK Computer between the two, KID A and Amnesiac firmly in (2), HTTF between the two but leaning towards (2), and In Rainbows -
Between the two once more, but with an inclination towards category (1) - the 'song'. With this ... Read More
