 | took two listens before I was convinced but I think its quite excellent the whole way through. Wasnt sure about this
 stripped down version of Nude at first but actually its
 perfect this way. i didnt hear any other bootlegs though and
 from all the whinging it sounds like i made a good move
 there.

 | There are quite a bit of BoC inspired/references on this record. The children on 15 Step being the most notable, but
 also the bass/synth on All I Need and the drums on Videotape
 remond me of the film projector as is on BoC's Kid for
 Today...there are also a few other synth washes and keyboard
 tones that are reminiscent of Boards as well, not that this
 is a bad thing at all. But its not surprising as they have
 name checked Autechre in the past. The rhythm of 15 Step
 reminds me a bit of ae as well. Overall, its a great record
 worth the wait so far. It feels much more cohesive than HTTT
 and back to the album-oriented roots of OK and Kid A, I just
 wish it was a tad longer.

 | some other guy mentioned boc influences too, i don't hear much of BoC in it at all... i think that's a really deep
 rhodes in all i need after a few listens. the 15 step one
 beat reminds me as much of autechre as anything else, it's
 really just an electronic beat. warp artists didn't invent
 electronic music.

 | Conclusions after 3rd listen: last four songs are really good, especially 'Jigsaw...', but
 I'm afraid    first half of the album didn't live up to my
 expectations, at all. No song here can match the mastery of
 'There there', 'Where I End And You Begin' or 'A Wolf At The
 Door' from the previous album. I have a strong feeling they
 didn't go 100% with this. The songs are quite conventional,
 Yorke's vocal lines, which used to be great and deeply
 moving at times, now are sometimes lost in self-indulgence
 (Faust Arp), or seem plainly uninteresting to me. Enough
 bitchin'.
 
 All in all HTTT > In Rainbows as far as the structure of
 songs goes. So far.

 | to the people complaining about paying for the download in retrospect, there was an element of risk involved since no
 preview of the goods was available prior to purchase (even
 though we all knew roughly what the tracks would end up
 sounding like).  im surprised this has gone unmentioned to
 be honest.  however, to pay over £5 for 10 download tracks
 is mildly insane when you consider the usual band/label cut
 of the profits is around 30/70.  im not suggesting bands
 dont deserve a better deal from album sales, rather that
 radiohead have made a handsome fortune out of traditional
 label record sales.  i cannot begin to imagine how much
 money the inrainbows download has made...

 | It's surely a grower.  I came to it cold turkey not knowing any of the songs in their live incarnation.  At first
 nothing stood out to me by way of being  an "iconic" track,
 but as a whole I find the album fairly enjoyable.
 
 I'm looking forward to hearing the additional discbox tracks
 (as their leak will be inevitable), since the album seems
 somewhat short as is.
 
 I paid zero for the album.  Whether it was intentional or
 not, I respect the fact that the honor payment system
 challenges outdated models.  However, I think it is
 ridiculous to pay for anything less than 192kbps without
 ever hearing a proper "single."  If they end deciding to
 press the disc after the first of the year and include those
 other tracks on there, I would probably buy it.

 guitar music is just for low life hippies
 theres really no point in making guitar music because theres
 not any progression or innovative things you can make with

 i think all music not electronic should be forbidden
 so that we can have some new revolutions music wise

 | For some reason, I can't get enough of 15 step. I love the bass work in it. The drum sounds are nice, if a little
 repetitive. the bridge at the end is cool. I expect the
 other tracks to grow on me in the next few weeks, but as of
 right now I've been overdosing on 15 step.
