Then the rest of the song is mostly Thom and the rhythm section. The song begins with Thom singing his beautiful falsetto and some backwards parts compliment his voice. I always love sons that float around for a couple years before they're released because the end result is usually nothing short of amazing and Nude is another great example of this. Nude - this song has been floating around since the OK Computer days and a couple seconds into the song you'll know why they waited a decade to release it. The bass has to be the best part of this song and you'll want to tap your toe along to it's groove.Ġ3. This song reminds me of the Pablo Honey days but it has the charm of the the more recent experimental releases. This song gets down to business right away. My favourite part is when Thom sing 'etcetera etcetera' and then the bass follow in.Ġ2. Then the guitar, bass and drum come in and that's when the song comes alive. There's this hip-hop-esque synth beat throughout the song but it evolves into a Amnesiac/Hail to the Thief progression and Thom is just rockin' along to it. 15 Step - this song caught me quite off guard.

I recommend this before you label this album as anything, good or bad.Ġ1.

This is a must with Radiohead records because you get something completely different out of each listen. Like with all records I own, I listen to the record at least three time before I make my mind up about it and I've definitely listened to this album more than three times, so I have a pretty good idea about In Rainbows. It's minimalistic but in every good sense of the world. It's like someone took every Radiohead album, put them in a blender and ran it through a strainer. Thom Yorke has said this albums is 'almost embarassingly minimal' and he's almost right. The mellow, cryptic, electronic, progressive-but-they-don't-like-to-be-called-that band we fans adore. What has come out of this can only be described as Radiohead. Lucky us! Radiohead, is one of the only modern major-label bands to release an album without a label, so they have complete creative control and no deadlines. So, I've gotten quite a few listens in this past 18 hours and not that much sleep(midterms aren't that hard, are they) In Rainbows, has been long awaited by Radiohead fans for the past four and a half years and up until 10 days ago, we all thought it wasn't coming out until March. Thanks to the time difference I got my copy at around 4pm after paying the low low price of 0 pounds for it (I'm broke and I'm getting the discbox for X-mas, so don't hassle me about it). The album that has caused so much controversy, with it's 'Pay What You Want' premise. Every song is perfectly fitting, there isn't a misplaced track, and everything synches into perfection.

This is the OK Computer of the new millenium.
