Radiohead - In Rainbows Review
4 Years in the making and finally its here. Till now i resisted watching those youtube videos of the songs , wanted to hear the album as it is in the entirety.
An ingenious marketing move of offering the album for free or pay whatever you feel like for online download legally. People will download , whether its free or not so why not give it away for free or atleast make whatever they can cause they know people will pay for quality music and band loyalty. I don't think money has anything to do with this but hey its the first in the industry so a big thumbs up to the band. Not being in contract with a label helped too so - Screw the MAN :D
Quality 0f Songs - 160KB/sec so not audiophile material but will do for now.

So how is the Album.
1 word. Masterpiece.
It doesnt get better than this. Well, we can expect Radiohead to come out with something better. Its right up there with Kid A & OK Computer. Better than either of them , questionable but will have it own place in the Discography because 'In Rainbows' is possibly all Radiohead albums combined till now in this one. The tracks are layed out beautifully with slower mellow tracks to calm down the aggressiveness of some tracks. This has some of the most heavy aggressive Radiohead ever like 'Bodysnatchers'. Even the slower songs are a bit heavy on the ears like 'All I Need'. The Bass is used in plenty and and really deep in the songs. Excellent for the bassheads.
The lyrics are not yet released yet but you can tell they are written with as much emotion and depth to come out of a brilliant lyricist Thom Yorke is. If you thought OK Computer had deep stuff , wait till you hear this.
Tracks which stand out -
Bodysnatchers , Nude , All I Need , House of cards & Videotape ( the best track by far )
Finally some good stuff from artists who know how to put out quality music in this age of crap music in general. Get this one folks... Its free for god's sake and if you haven't heard of Radiohead , give this one a try. You will not be disappointed.
Cant wait for the second CD to be released in December.
