In Rainbows

Product Information

Variously hailed as "the best band in the world" (Q Magazine), "Rock's best live band" (Rolling Stone) and No. Radiohead's 1993 debut album 'Pablo Honey', is a promising collection that spawned one of the most recognizable Radiohead anthems "Creep". The band is more than familiar with the unpleasant moods associated with colours like red, green, and blue all of which, of course, help make a rainbow, all of which are present, and even mentioned, during the album. This album includes "Nude", a live favourite for many years that was originally written during the "OK Computer" sessions.

The overall mood is relaxed - something unprecedented when it comes to Radiohead albums, but a satisfaction at being rid of their label and mostly happy family men seems to have brought out the best in the band. If you like Radiohead, then it’s a must have, but I would suggest skipping this pressing and opting for a better pressing.Some songs sound better than others, this record doesn't handle the loud parts as well as the soft ones. Usually a new Radiohead record takes a few plays to gel, especially the more tricky electronic stuff, but not 'In Rainbows' (which doesn't feature as much of the sort of electronic beeps and bleeps that have characterised their last three albums) - every song has a hook or melody that will draw you in.

On a couple levels, then, In Rainbows is not any less fitting as a Radiohead album title than "Myxomatosis" is as a Radiohead song title. The only thing that sounds clear is the drums, so if you’re a big fan of Phil Selway this one’s for you. Featuring the singles: "Jigsaw Falling into Place", "Nude", "House of Cards", "Bodysnatchers" and "All I Need".
