Radiohead are without doubt one of the finest, most innovative rock bands in history and ‘In Rainbows’ is one of those albums that I continuously find myself coming back to for quite a lot of very spiritual moments within.
There’s an unusual structure to this album which oddly works, and there are no boring or weak songs like so many other band albums. Some of the complex, but highly listenable programming and beautiful synth string textures on this album are just mind blowing, I never tire of listening to this.
‘Reckoner’ and ‘Weird Fishes’ are just two of the most beautifully layered songs ever and Thom Yorke’s writing abilities are plain and simply, genius.
