this is so fucking great. arpeggi doesn't suck! i think they made it better. the only thing lacking is the "escape" at the very end.

this is totally an easy-listening album. it sounds like something they'd pipe into a retirement home. not even my father listens to music this polite.

videotape is a really nice song but hits home just how low-key this album is. after all the hype i expected something up there with kid a. maybe something explosive in spots. i'll listen again later without any expectations.

the second half of the album is really good i think, the first half hasnt quite grabbed me yet but its not unusual for radiohead albums to take some time to grow on me

to me http was a single, with the single being 2+2=5 and every other song on it being a b-side. in rainbows definitely sounds more like a cohesive album to me and not just a collection of songs.
15 step is really nice on the second go-around.

"the ondes martenot makes a welcome appearance."
haha yeah, cos the last 3 albums have really been lacking when it comes to ondes : P
its used nicely in this album though. it's there, but somewhat hidden and incorporated nicely with the rest of the music.

I like it , it's alright. I was kind of hoping for something a bit heavier, by track five I gave up hoping for something less boring.
It's alright ...
Big up's on the recording though, sounds fucking great compared to what they could have done (Over compress everything kick on other albums). It sounds like they just had an Mbox and a couple of good mics. I like the recording a lot.. the songs are kind of like ... OK THOM weird fish yeah yeah ...
It's to bad there wasn't a heavier track on the album, it could have used a couple.
The ride cymbals sound so local band it's awesome :D
Overall I really liked how it wasn't all WE'RE FUCK ED UP LOOK WE JUST DISCOVER APHEX TWIN ,
It's worth getting for free, but I can't see it being my favorite album anytime soon.
Good job Radiohead !

I'm on the same page as O.F.
Good album, not great. Revolutionary in its marketing, not necessarily in its sound (as Kid A was touted), though fairly strong overall.
I guess I had to be someone of a hardcore fan and know all these tracks in their live context to truly appreciate this album. I like Radiohead, but I came into this record with zero expectations. That being said, it didnt jump out at me like some of their other releases have.

i like most of them as compositions, and everything works and is great, but it's not really a special groundbreaking album.
The sound design is more consistent through the album, not as 'messy' and varied as earlier output.
they blend rock and electronic elements maybe in a too careful way, they chose the obvious route instead of going into unknown territory, the safe route you might say.
so far 15 step, arpeggi and nude are my favorites.

that melody/riff in reckoner will be stuck in my head the rest of the week. a bit over-sentimental but already my fav by far.

What the fuck? Reckoner is so totally not what I was expecting. It's a different song. I was expecting a rocker and got another pretty one. It's nice though.

I would have been amazed at the album had I not heard the live stuff a year ago. As it stands I'm just pleased it's a decent studio performance of the live stuff, though if I were being honest, the version of 'Nude' will have to grow on me.

they totally screwed videotape up, imo. reckoner sounds excellent. i really don't like what they did to nude either.
hope this is going to get better but i seriously doubt i'm going to like the studio version of videotape better than the live version.

the studio version is way better, i think. less boring. nude sounds the same as it always has, really.
