I was really unimpressed by In Rainbows. I don't know if I will bother

I actually ordered the disc box set with the vinyl, pretty artbook, bonus CD etc.. It's all LUSH.. The vinyl is better than the CD again, as usual because of the considered mastering. As for cd2, the production is still fairly restrained/minimal (like on cd1) for the most part. I think it's really great actually. They've held back on the huge rock-out climaxes. Songs like 'Last Flowers' or 'Go Slowly' could have been monsters during OK Comp but they've held back... they've been doing that a lot. I like it but probably prefer 'Last Flowers' as guitar rather than piano. 'Bangers and Mash' is brilliant.. possibly the most danceable Radiohead track ever?? 'Up On The Ladder' is sweet.. very synthy. Again, it's kind of stripped back but effective. The little interlude tracks (MK1 and 2) are a bit pointless, though the first one sort of works as a lead in to the disc. It's probably an 8/10- this from a pretty resolute Radiohead fan.

awesome. i agree with just about everything you said there. the mks are pretty much a waste. i dont see the point, espicially of mk2. i can see the lead in from mk1 [or lead out from videotape, whichever way you want to see it] im really digging up on a ladder but i am not basing that on any previous versions as i dont really know that song too well. im very happy with it.

i'm not hugely into "Down Is The New Up"... it's ok, i'm sure it will grow on me...
i was surprised how well "Go Slowly" turned out... i let out an audible groan when i heard the live version, but this one is awesome... i love it...
"Last Flowers" i find a bit boring...
i fucking love "Up On The Ladder" it's amazing... i don't know what it reminds me of... i think it's a bit "hood" or "home video" both bands i love... favorite on cd2...
"Bangers n Mash" is pretty cool... it's fun, i like...
"4 Minute Warning" is possibly my least favorite of the In Rainbows bunch... it is incredibly bland to my ears...
Mk1 & Mk2 are a bit whatever, but i like em for what they are...

up on the ladder sounds too much like i might be wrong to me.
the guitar is like really similar, the simple electronic beat..
the intro to bangers on mash also remnds me of crosseyed and painless by talking heads, but its ok cos its such a cool tune.
rather let down by this cd. it's alright, but it really is kinda dull.. and the MK tracks are the most innapropiate things ever :P

i want them to release studio demos of videotape and up on the ladder similar to the live versions. they were good shit.
that said, alot of other songs have been greatly improved.

i think that basement version of videotape is on one of the jigsaw singles. totally agree with bangers. the more i listen to it, the less i like it. seems very sloppy.

the piano at the chorus in last flowers sounds like karma police.

cd2 is only part of the discbox, which has cd1, cd2, 2vinyls of the main album, artwork and and lyrics &such, all in a nice box.
if you wanna get it, here is the link (the original In Rainbows site is going down on 10th of december i think.. so no more free downloads!)
hope that answers your question. the cd release of in rainbows that'll be available in shops will just be disc 1.

thats okay because after two listens through disc 2, i could care less if they don't sell it. i'm sure i'll change my mind down the line, but right now, i'm not really liking those tracks much

Yeah, I noticed that. The track was written and recorded during OK Comp, so it's stylistically similar to tunes around that time. I actually liked the live performance from a while back featuring guitar. If they'd over-dubbed guitar like that, this tune might have been one notch up in goodness, see here:
live Last Flowers
