    It's all about Jigsaw baby!

    A more organic sound + Thom singing in a lower tone = Heaven!

    It fits into the nice gap between the first 3 albums and the last 3 albums, love it.

    Bodysnatchers is my fav at the mo, but that's probably because it's the catchiest on the album, need time for it all to sink in.

    Executed perfectly! Downloaded the entire album in 3 minutes.

    Imagine if Basecamp was in charge!?

    Opinions on first listen:

    Faves: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, All I Need, Faust Arp, Reckoner(though completely different), & Jigsaw

    Not Bad: Nude & Videotape(but they killed the old ending)

    Not a Fan: Arpeggi & House Of Cards(but I didn't like the live versions of these either)


    So overall, I'd give it an 8.6 out of 10. Better than Hail To The Thief and on par with Amnesiac. It compares to Kid A quite well in my opinion. Oh, and everyone who wanted to hear Radiohead rock out with guitars...with the exception of Bodysnatchers...there aren't too many guitars on this album.

    EDIT: Let me clarify, there are guitars, but not of the distorted, rockin' THE BENDS variety.

    thanks for the review i'll have to wait until i get home to listen to it. A long full work day ahead before that happens.

    That said the lack of guitars really disapoints me. I guess by now i should not expect the band to ever do that again.

    So far (listening to Reckoner at this moment), simply beautiful.

    I'm loving it. I think calling it beautiful sums it up perfectly. Can't wait for the discbox to arrive!

    That download was sooo easy.

    I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I'm a little speechless, but not really surprised ... we're talking about Radiohead here. They don't make bad music. They think about everything. The songs were good to begin and their treatment in the studio takes nothing away from some of the wonderful live versions we've heard before. It's just made them somehow new. This record sounds very personal to me, intimate ... but maybe some of that comes from getting glimpses of the thought process along the way on DAS. I don't know. It's just really good.

    i've downloaded the album but I haven't been able to listen to it yet (I'm at work, no speakers, it sucks).
    How's the album ?
    is it experimental like kid a or hail to the thief or is it more like the bends or ok computer ?

    indeed.
    And, since Radiohead album is only 48Mb, it seems it's a low/medium quality MP3 encoding.
    PJ's MP3s on basecamp were encoded at 256, not 128...

    It's easily not The Bends. To me this is a love child between KID A and OK Computer where the kid looks more like his father OK Computer, but still has some attributes of it's whore of a mom, KID A.

    This is truly a beautiful album. I'm on my second listen now, and after another listen or two I will have to post my full review.

    Early favorites though are 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Nude, All I Need, Reckoner, and Videotape.

    Sounds intriging, although I had my mouth watering for alotta guitar, though.

    Would you at least say that OK Computer is an abusive father and really pounds his beliefs into In Rainbows?

    The ease of that download was incredible. I honestly expected a sever free for all with the download taking forever due to the fact that thousands of people world wide would be DL'ing at the same time. Talk about an amazing process....offering it for whatever we want to pay, telling us just 10 short days before, awesome box set available. Top to bottom this was just so well done. I wish certain other bands had their shit together enough to do things like this. Bands who's business name rhymes with Ren Bub. It's funny how people are bitching about the bitrate of the mp3's.

    I'm not all the way through it but I gotta ask...WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO RECKONER????
