Album Review #2: In Rainbows

Info:

Band: Radiohead

Year: 2007

Genre: Alternative Rock

Length: 42:34

Label: None (Self-released)


Actual Review:

As stated in the albums info, it was released at 2007. That’s 4 years after release of their previous album (Hail to The Thief). That means that Radiohead made their biggest gap between albums and because of that a lot of people have been waiting impatiently for those long 4 years. And the wait was worth it, Radiohead’s album In Rainbows is in my opinion their biggest album of this decade. It’s mature, serious, in some occasions depressing. sad and dark in contrast with the relaxing environment on the rest of the occasions. These change of emotions might not be new for Radiohead but it’s not like it’s getting old or anything (or is it?). What is new about this album is as it was mentioned earlier the maturity of the album, did Radiohead really evolved that much in just 4 years? The answer is yes.

Radiohead also used were able to utilize a vast variety of instruments including pianos, celestes and even the ondes martenot creating a kind of hybrid rock album.

And let’s face it a band releasing an album independently is just plain amazing and deserves respect for sharing this masterpiece for the world for at what ever price we see fit. Rock On!


Best Tracks:

Nude, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling into Place & House of Cards.


Final Ranking: 9.5/10
