The most startling thing about this album is how warm and human it sounds. The diversity of tracks is also impressive, from the stuttering drum-machine opening of '15 Step' that soon twists into avant-garde, jazz rock funk. 'Bodysnatchers' is a fuzzy freak-out with one of my all-time favourite Radiohead moments where Yorke sings angrily and simply 'I'm a lie'. The soulful ballad 'Nude' that by the end sounds nothing less than transcendant, and the otherworldy dreamscape of 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi' which is strangely relatable as Yorke croons 'everybody leaves if they get the chance', which I interpreted as meaning leaving your home town or an over-familiar place for something better.

There's the doom-synth, love obsession march of 'All I Need' that is a lamenting ode from someone who loves but is unloved in return. It ends cathartically but ambivalently as Yorke cries 'It's s'alright, it's all wrong'. 'Faust' gracefully rolls along with bizarre lyrics that are very understated but compelling all the same, as a subtle orchestral backing swells and undulates throughout. 'Reckoner' is percussive and beautiful, featuring vocals that don't sound like they were made by a normal human being, sounding as transcendant as those in 'Nude'. The lyrics state that this song is 'dedicated to all human beings' as if Yorke himself isn't actually one but loves us all the same.

'House of Cards' has the most un-Radiohead lyrics I've ever heard, where we're told 'I don't wanna be your friend, I just wanna be your lover'. 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place' is lyrically flowing pure rock with its tale of a bad night out that I'm sure a lot of people could identify with. 'Videotape' is very emotional with its starched and sombre stabbing of the piano keys, the title proving very apt as the Yorke-meister sings about recording footage of happy moments to watch again in the future, 'this is one for the good days' that brings Yorke back to himself, 'You are my centre when I spin away'. The stately sadness is offset by the belief that everything in the end will be okay, 'because I know today has been the most perfect day I have ever seen'.

I can only repeat myself and say how magnificently otherworldly, and yet how down-to-earth it all sounds. The references to 'Doctor Faustus' are interesting, with one of the songs being called 'Faust' and 'Videotape' featuring the lyrics 'Mephistopheles is reaching up to grab me'. Radiohead have earned their place as one of the greatest bands of our generation and probably many more, full stop. I honestly can't wait to see what they come up with next.

By Tom Chase VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
I read a quote on "In Rainbows" that stated Radiohead had finally met expectations by surpassing them. I can certainly echo this statement, and perhaps even stake the claim that this may well be Radiohead's best album. Certainly a huge claim, but "In Rainbows" is a wondrous album.

I will keep things short as many reviewers have picked apart and detailed individual songs and themes. So, most importantly for me, "In Rainbows" treads that impossibly difficult line of being mostly accessible yet surprisingly lasting. It simply does not tire. Months and months of sporadic listens and I still become totally involved and immersed, a feat that separates truly great albums from good ones. The overall sound of the album perfectly blends the sombre electronic tones of "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" with the guitar-driven rock of "Ok Computer" and "The Bends". It's satisfyingly experimental when need be, yet equally sparse and simplistic. It's cold and desolate at times, warm and genial at others. It is everything I can want from a Radiohead album. Beautiful, consistent, cutting-edge music.

Radiohead continue to make great albums and In Rainbows shows this.
1.15 Step: Great start. Contains a crazy electro beat to start with, but it morphs into a powerful and very catchy song with the bursts of childrens choir and Yorkes great singing.9/10
2.Bodysnatchers: The most rocky song on the album. It's catchy and cool sounding with a fuzzy backbone and everyone working hard with distorted guitars fluttering everywhere. 10/10
3.Nude: Very relaxed and calm song with some beautiful singing. 9/10
4.Wierd Fishes/Arpeggi: One of the best songs on the album. The guitars make a very sensitive atmosphere and the rocking drums contrast excellently. The ending when Thom beautifully sings 'I hit the bottom' over the glourious sounds of the guitars, bass and banging drums may be the best part of the album. 10/10
5.All i Need: May be the weakest song. It's good but just doesn't seem to standout. 7/10
6.Faust Arp: Despite being just over 2 minutes long this is a great song. Thom voice flows with the incredible classical music and the guitar brilliantly. 9/10
7.Reckoner: Excellent song. Instruments bang everywhere as Thom sings like a preacher over the wonderful music. 10/10
8.House of Cards: A Very relaxed and atmospheric mood make this song so good.Based around Jonney's repeated guitar line with lots of distored sounds. Thom's singing is very powerful here. 10/10
9.Jigsaw Falling into Place: Anthoer superb song. The beat of the song is very catchy and bass and acoustic gutiar really shine. The song contains very good lyrics and the way in which it keeps building and building throughout the song is amazing. 10/10
10.Videotape: A calm and uplifting ending. The piano adds a great effect and Thom's singing is once again excellent. 9/10

So In Rainbows shows that Radiohead still have the ideas and imagination to make incredible albums and is a welcome addiation to Radioheads other great albums.
