Radiohead - In Rainbows

About In Rainbows by Radiohead Album

In Rainbows is the seventh studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. It was first released on October 10, 2007 as a digital download that customers could order for whatever price they saw fit, followed by a standard CD release in most countries during the last week of 2007. The album was released in North America on January 1, 2008. In Rainbows was Radiohead's first release after the end of their contract with EMI and the end of the longest gap between studio albums in their career. "In Rainbows" was recorded in London, Somerset, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire with producers Mark Stent and Nigel Godrich. Radiohead worked on the songs for more than two years, beginning in early 2005. In between recording, the band toured Europe and North America for three months in 2006. Radiohead used a wide variety of musical styles on the album, incorporating string arrangements and electronic music, pianos, celestes and the ondes Martenot, yet renewing their focus on guitars, drums, and bass as lead instruments. The songwriting on In Rainbows was more personal than that of Radiohead's other work, with singer Thom Yorke describing it as his attempt to write "seduction songs". Upon its retail release, In Rainbows entered the United World Chart, UK Album Chart, and the U.S. Billboard 200 at number one. "In Rainbows" also earned widespread critical acclaim, and several publications ranked it as one of the best albums of 2007.

- Radiohead's best album and one my top 5 favorite albums ever

From start to finish, this record is a masterpiece. The best song in my opinion is the emotional rollercoaster that is Weird Fishes. But I can't think of one song on this track that I would consider bad or out of place (maybe Faust arp but for being out of place not bad). If you are just getting into Radiohead, this is probably their most accessible album but please do yourself the favor of listening to it from start to finish rather than individual songs. Please get this album.

- love it

i only recognized this album because my mom had this in the car and would always play it when i was little. i saw that it was trending again, and i remember every song! sad they deleted all the reviews though.

- The best of Radiohead

I have to say this has to be the best album the band had released to date! I mean when I heard "15 steps" on the very first Twilight movie soundtrack I knew Radiohead took bold moves & they made their comeback that year! Beats are tighter than ever on this album!

- In Rainbows

Unbelievable Beauy.

- Personally my favorite Radiohead record

Yep. This is one of the most beautiful albums of all time.

- What goes around ....

When In Rainbows first came out, I purchased it for 0 dollars. After hearing the content and falling in love with it, I have since purchased the CD, MP3 lossless, vinyl, In the Basement, and purchased as gifts for others. As their band mate Ed says, it's in the spirit of the thing. Had this have been the usual top 40 dribble, I'm sure it would not have gone beyond my first encounter. Thank you, Radiohead for such artistry, musicianship, and personal experience. Top favorite collective work of theirs. Cheers.

- Nude

Nude, possibly RH best song

- 5 Stars

You literally have to be an idiot not to give this masterpiece 5 stars.

- Another masterpiece from Radiohead

In Rainbows is probably Radiohead's warmest album, but still full of many different emotions. All of the songs on the album each pull their own weight, even Faust Arp. There are also many cool musical techniques, like the syncopation in Videotape. This album is just an amazing album; it's bittersweet. Songs like Nude, Weird Fishes, Reckoner, All I Need, House of Cards, and Videotape are just masterpieces. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes awesome music. Just get this album asap! Haha

- Best fricken album ever!!!

I am partial to this album because it encapsulates my entire childhood. It is nostalgic for me and makes me think of many childhood things, (like the time I thought Thome Yorke was singing in Hungarian during Faust Arp because I had no concept of a british accent). While this album may not be their most acclaimed album, it still holds a special spot in my heart for music!

- You need this

Not only was it a ground breaking album in the sense of selling, making it pretty much free. It is a fantastic album. Everytime I listen to it I discover something new. And the familiar ground that I do know about, I just let it glide in out of my soul. Keep listening to this gem.

- Why Delete Reviews?

Glad to see this is back but hate all the reviews are gone. This is one of their legendary albums. Each moment is gorgeous and jaw dropping. "Reckoner" and "Nude" are among my favorites but each and every track is stunning

- All I need is nude

This album as a whole just doesn't grab me, but all I need and nude are great

- Perfect

Amazing

- Favorite Radiohead album

This album is a truly underrated classic. It’s the only Album of Radiohead that I’ve listened to as of now, I’m planning on listening to the oher ones when I get the time. But I think that this one will still be my all time favorite. It feels warmer than the other things I’ve heard this band do and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

- Amazing

Favorite album

- One of the best

This is one of my absolute favorite albums and arguably Radiohead's best (depending on your taste). Well-crafted songs with some variety across styles, but every track has that Radioheaad intentionality and attention to detail.

- Best album ever!!!

Great album! Love it!

- AZ97

I love this album ❤️

- One of the best albums ever

Great album with beautiful songs made by of the greatest bands of all time.

- The best

The best

- Yes. It’s that good.

Take the intricate, richly layered melodies of OK Computer. Add the flair for the avant-garde and danceable rhythm of Kid A. Coming the best of those worlds, and you get In Rainbows. These songs are beautiful. They are textured. Like the color spectrum of its title, the songs explore a full range of feeling, and the analog construction of these songs makes them feel all the more alive. Personal favorites: Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Nude, Bodysnatchers, House of Cards

- Greatest album ever recorded

A perfect album. Not too long and not a wasted second. Brings you in with a punch to the face and eases you out with a cool ice pack.

- Best Radiohead album

One of my all-time favorites

- one of the best

all though my favorite album is ok computer this one is defnitally like second in line. my favorite song is 15 step off this album. has different vibe from other albums but still rocks!!!!!(highly recomended).

- It's cool

iTunes doesn't have the bonus stuff, and this album is missing in Spotify ,this is also my favorite Radiohead album so it's cool.

- Gold

You know it's pretty good when every moment of this album is jaw dropping.

- How can you just change an album cover

only diehard fans know what i mean

- Not bad but overrated

strange mix of tracks some guitar some electronic. Bit bland in the middle, a few good tracks but not an exciting album.

- Speechless

Some albums make you feel everything, and in that moment you’re complete.

- i cannot even begin to describe how much i love this album

review in progress

- Amazing album a must listen

If you have heard Ok Computer you are probably akin to Radiohead’s more art rock sound. Ok Computer and In Rainbows are two similar but different albums. In rainbows is less thematic than ok computer but ok computer is more safe instrumentally than the avant-garde production of in rainbows. In rainbows is a extremely sad album but it is also very beautiful overall an amazing listen I can’t believe this was made in 2007

- Beautiful

I'm sitting in my room with headphones right playing this album. I bought it hearing it was a good Radiohead album, and was a little skeptical. It is the most beautiful form of anything I have ever heard. Hats off to Radiohead for this.

- NUDE

This song is heaven

- Top 3 Radiohead Album For Me

Their most accessible by far. I think All I Need and Videotape are the only drags on here. Everything else is good and amazing. Listen to it!

- Stellar

This album was how I was introduced to Radiohead. It’s a brilliant masterpiece of work. I wish they would put something out like this again.😊

- My favorite

That's it.

- Ditto

Yea what he said!!

- Trance-inducing

This album, like most other Radiohead offerings, takes me to a place that only they can take me to. It's a very peaceful, introspective, dreamlike place that I just want to linger in for as long as I can. A wonderful escape.

- My 2nd favorite

OK Computer will always be my favorite album by Radiohead. This one is my 2nd favorite because every song is amazing. I love the feelings I get from listening to both albums. Thom's voice is so special to me. Not a great review, I love what I love.

- In Rainbows is extraordinary.

This is my favorite album. Every sound on In Rainbows is astounding, and every moment of Thom Yorke's singing is divine.

- Genius

Mwah

- The Perfect Album

It’s warm, intricately crafted, and beautiful. What else could I ask for? It’s the perfect album to me- quintessential Radiohead, but with a bit of a lighter outlook on life.

- In Rainbows

This album is beautiful, haunting and extremely immersive. You'd be insane not to get it.

- The best

This album is just the best

- perfect

an exploration of tension and raw emotive power put throught the lense of a man who's broken hearted and finally understanding his place in the universe. yeah, that's radiohead

- True masterpiece 🖤

True masterpiece 🖤

- My favorite album of all time

Never sags consistently good throughout

- Great!

This album turned me on to Radiohead and realized how great they really are.

In Rainbows Wiki

In Rainbows is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Radiohead. It was self-released on 10 October 2007 as a pay-what-you-want download, followed by a physical release internationally through XL Recordings on 3 December 2007 and in North America through TBD Records on 1 January 2008. It was Radiohead's first release after their recording contract with EMI ended with their album Hail to the Thief (2003). Radiohead began work on In Rainbows in early 2005. In 2006, after their sessions with the producer Spike Stent proved fruitless, they re-enlisted their longtime producer, Nigel Godrich. Radiohead recorded in the country houses Halswell House and Tottenham House, the Hospital Club in London, and their studio in Oxfordshire, using conventional rock instrumentation plus electronic instruments, strings, piano and the ondes Martenot. The lyrics are less political and more personal than previous Radiohead albums. Radiohead released In Rainbows online and allowed fans to set their own price, saying this liberated them from conventional promotional formats and removed barriers to audiences. It was the first such release by a major act and drew international media attention. Many praised Radiohead for challenging old models and finding new ways to connect with fans, while others felt it set a dangerous precedent at the expense of less successful artists. Radiohead promoted In Rainbows with webcasts, music videos, competitions and a worldwide tour. "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Nude" were released as singles; "Nude" became Radiohead's first US top-40 song since their debut single "Creep" (1992). The retail release of In Rainbows topped the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200, and by October 2008 it had sold over three million copies worldwide. It was the bestselling vinyl record of 2008, and is certified platinum in the UK and Canada and gold in the US, Belgium and Japan. In Rainbows received acclaim, winning Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, and was ranked one of the best albums of the year and the decade by various publications. Rolling Stone included In Rainbows in its updated lists of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
