[Serge]

You guys should have preordered ;P

Or you can always just download it off Torrent or something.

[jcotteri]

absolutely amazing Got it an hour after it was released. Good to hear it played on the J's so quickly.

[James Vincent]

'All I Need', 2:46 onwards, when the cymbols start splashing over the jammed piano and the xylophone rains over the synth/string/horn layer, that is the sound of Radiohead gently fucking Muse and Coldplay.

I went on a bike ride tonight around my small town and listened to the whole album twice. It was beautiful to be out at night, feeling free, and having time to really appreciate life. I have to say that I love Reckoner and Nude.

[rvlt.]

i love this cd. i'm beginning to think it's my favorite from them.

[__Nicholas]

the more i listen to it, the more i like it. reckoner and jigsaw falling into place are amazing songs! it doesnt top hail to the theif though ... but thats just my opinion.

[Guest DUM]

CARL, THIS IS NOT A DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK BUT I'M HELPING THE STUPID/LAZY PEOPLE.

[seksu!]

i love nude.

i love all i need.

i love videotape.

i need better copy of album..

160kbps not good aenough

[Corbin Law]

i agree with the previous comments that it lacks cohesion

all the songs stand alone fairly well but they arent too well connected

but i still things a great album. no kid A though

[jeepster]

they need to make The Bends or OK Computer again. even Kid A wasn't as cohesive as it should have been. i wish they would write some more straightforward material again. they've bought too much into the notion that they as a band have to get under your skin and use these contra-melodies and beats that tick rather than rock, they're just trying to sound liek radiohead too much.

i want some rocking stuff like Just or Electioneering

Music for thought.

Ten years after OK Computer shocked the world, Radiohead released In Rainbows on October 10 (10/10). Though no one was expecting the album to be released until 2008, Radiohead announced In Rainbows just ten days in advance. In Rainbows, which consists of ten letters, has ten tracks, and would be downloadable from a rumored ten servers.

Radiohead preceded the release of In Rainbows with nine cryptic messages. They repeatedly emphasized X, the Roman Numeral for ten, in phrases such as “March Wa X”, and “Xendless Xurbia”. The tenth message was posted on October 10 with a photo of the band drinking tea.

Consider that In Rainbows was meant to complement OK Computer, musically, lyrically, and in structure. We found that the two albums can be knit together beautifully. By combining the tracks to form one playlist, 01 and 10, we have a remarkable listening experience. The transitions between the songs are astounding, and it appears that this was done purposefully.

Also, try using a 10 second crossfade via iTunes... works real well.

Another note in the comments. Applying the Golden Ratio to the duration of In Rainbows will direct you to the 2:47 mark of Reckoner, which promptly has backup vocals "in rainnnnnnnnn in rainnnnnnn in rainnnnnnnnn bows".

It's cool listening to the two albums in conjunction. Makes the experience a bit more interesting.

[seksu!]

[Corbin Law]

i wish my CD case for ok computer wasnt so empty right now.

[sidneylo]

i did this earlier tonight, and boy did i love it. the uneasiness and the dizziness i felt when i first listened to ok computer rushed back to me, but this time completed with some missing puzzle pieces. i loved it so much that i even posted a myspace bulletin about it.

like jeepster said, it is not completely flawless, but i 'got it' whether this was a mere self satisfaction or not.

thank you sydney for providing this info. heart!

[sybaritical]

Quite exciting, will try this later on.

Listening to it conventionally, In rainbows is a bit too pleasant for me. There's not enough bite in it and it lacks the optimistic bleakness that I adored in Kid A

Also the horror of hearing Thom Yorke annouce "I don't want to your friend/I just want to be your lover" was only just offet by him growling "I'm all the days you choose to ignore" somewhere else on the record.

[fadingblue]

my friend burned me the cd about a week after it came out and i ripped it to my itunes and i just let it sit there, now im listenin to it and god its amazing

imma do that thing with ok computer now

=)
