Maximal, polished, inward and sincere.
We read them all: the case for is sol_sings's. Marked below.
Radiohead at their warmest, which is still fairly cold, which is why it works. Nude took ten years to finish and sounds like it.
The Radiohead album for people who do not think they like Radiohead. Reckoner, at volume, on headphones, walking anywhere.

“In Rainbows” is Radiohead’s first album since 2003, and on first hearings it’s as bitterly magnificent as the band’s best works, with barbed, intricate vamps wrapped around thoughts of death, love, futility, stubbornness and rage.
