With internet leaks having become virtually an expected norm, it isn't often that an album this highly anticipated has such a sudden, short-term response, both amongst critics and fans. In my opinion, the most interesting aspect of In Rainbows' release is the extremely short time - just ten days - between the album's announcement and actual release. There's been plenty of talk about how this move serves as some sort of blow to the music industry, but I think this might be over-dramatising the scenario to some extent. took the interesting step of deciding to release In Rainbows as a "pay what you want" download, with vinyl and CD releases to come further down the line. You've probably heard this bit by now, but for the sake of completeness I'll add some background info: Thom Yorke & Co. It's for this reason that I've been hoping for a strong return to form on the group's latest effort, the recently released In Rainbows. Barring Pablo Honey (as we always do), I still go back to every other Radiohead album with great regularity, but Hail to the Thief is lucky to get played once every six months, if even that.
It was one of those albums that you can describe as being uniformly "decent", but there wasn't a single track on the album that really pulled me in and got me emotionally invested in the music.
My Taste in Music is Way Better Than Your Taste in MusicĪfter an extremely impressive run of successive standout albums since the mid-90s, 2003's Hail to the Thief felt somewhat like Radiohead on autopilot.
