Ok, so this might just be some weird delusion on my behalf, but I felt like bringing it up anyway. In Rainbows seems to have this real colourful, kind of loud production to it, where there’s heaps of focus on making certain sounds stand out. I don’t really know how to describe it, but there’s definitely something about the production, and it’s different to what their previous albums sounded like. Compare it Kid A or OK Computer, where everything just sounds natural and together. At first I just thought this was Radiohead going for a different sound, but then I thought about The Information by Beck, also produced by Godrich. That has the same kind of production as In Rainbows, with the strong colours and emphasis on loud sounds standing out. And again, compare it to Godrich’s production of Sea Change or Mutations, albums with a totally different style of production and sound. Can anyone else see what I’m crapping on about? Is Godrich more responsible for Radiohead’s new sound than the band themselves? Is he even,.. maybe.. losing it? or am i full of shit? :) |

i dont know any of beck's work really, but i can comment on radioheads. i def understand what you are saying and i think its a little of both. it sounds like radiohead stripped these songs down to the bone and kept them all quite minimal, so i think you are hearing a much more defined separation in sounds because there is less there. they seemed to have focus more on the melodies and structure this time around rather than adding layer upon layer of grandoise noise and crescendos, leaving the room for nigel to make it all sound very crispy clean. |

godrich's production has always sounded really plasticky to me, especially on headphones. too many lasers. |

my only complaint about his production (other than recent stuff), would be his love of reverb. though, none of it really bothered. some of the recent use of reverb is disgusting though. |

yeah, i remember seeing pictures on dead air space of them feeding speakers down a well for some reverb, and i was happy to see them experimenting with sound. though.. with the reverb on the finished album.. sometimes its just too much.. |

hehe yeah. i forget who else they went to, but they started with godrich (i think), then went off to another guy or two, weren't happy and went back to godrich for majority of the recording/mixing. |
