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.

you realize that a lot of synths can be tweaked to sound just about the same, right?

I'm still not sold on it. Although I was unsure about Hail To The Theif for the first few weeks.
It may be the first and last download I ever pay for (7pounds!!!)

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...

HTTT is way better after a few years, but still not up to the quality of usual Radiohead output. In Rainbows is.

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.

I love ''All I Need'' a LOT. Such depth, such pathos. ''Jigsaw Puzzle blabla'' sounds really MTV-ready, in good way. Like the OK Computer songs were.

haha, house of cards is my least favourite. but it doesnt really matter.
im finally appreciating videotape. the studio version somewhat more darker and depressing than it ever was live. a fitting song to finish the amazing album that it is.

ofcourse i dont like guitar music were on an excellent electronic music message board
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 it
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.
