    Default In Rainbows.

    Anyone pick up this album by Radiohead?

    It's pretty good, even though that part of only having 9 songs is disappointing.

    Yes, I do really like it. But I can't really listen to it as much as I can their other stuff.

    That's nice and everything, but it's free. Legally.

    There's 10 tracks. An extra 7 on a second disc if you got the limited discbox back way when, but about three are just kind of ambient out takes from what sound like earlier versions of Videotape.

    I enjoyed this album. My discbox (which includes a picturebook, lyric book, original album CD, special second disc with more artwork and band photos, and the album on two LPs) is sitting safely at home. It's pretty. "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" is my favorite song off of it because it's beautiful in so many ways.

    I agree that it's not their best, but it's still great.

    I'm not sure it's legally free anymore since they went through a label to have it get distributed regularly on CD. It was a fairly limited "take advantage of it while you can" thing. I guess technically it's still free if you don't mind using torrents though.

    It doesn't compare to Kid A and Amnesiac.

    I dropped a few bucks on it back when they first released it online. The record is pretty good, though its initial distribution method is what is really noteworthy. It kind of makes Radiohead heroes of music; not that I wouldn't consider them that, anyway.

    Solid release. Not an instant classic like other Radiohead albums, but a nice listen.

    It didn't deserve some of the orgasmic "Best album ever!!" praise it got on release, it's not even the best thing Radiohead have done this decade. But what it is is very, very good still (I ranked it in my Top 10 albums of last year, but put a few ahead of it). 10 songs, no filler, and Videotape is gorgeous as a closing song. It may not be their best but most bands can only dream of doing an album like this.

    Was really stoked on it for like two weeks straight, then got a little bored of it. I'd probably rank their albums like:

    1. Kid A
    2. OK Computer
    3. In Rainbows
    4. Amnesiac
    5. Hail To The Thief
    6. The Bends
    7. Pablo Honey

    Oh, come on. Pablo Honey deserves more love than that. Creep? Anyone Can Play Guitar?

    Trying to rank Radiohead albums is nigh-on impossible for me, but I'll give it a go:

    Kid A
    The Bends
    Amnesiac
    OK Computer
    Hail to the Thief
    In Rainbows
    Pablo Honey
    "Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"

    Anyone Can Play Guitar and Blow Out are the only songs I still listen to from Pablo Honey.
