Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)


Before the release of In Rainbows, all I used to know about Radiohead were two of their most famous songs - Creep and Karma Police. Honestly, I didn't even know the titles of these two songs. One day however, I was listening to the online radio ZRock and the program was dedicated to the new album by Radiohead. It sounded quite weird, but intriguing at the same time. I got the album and I think it is one of the best in my music library.

Radiohead is an English alternative band from 1985. The frontman Thom Yorke is acclaimed as one of the greatest and most influential singers ever. In Rainbows was released in quite an unusual way by the band - they made it available online for a download, and the customers could choose the price they want to pay (including 0).

I really love In Rainbows, it is very touching and sometimes tracks like Reckoner even make me feel sad. I wouldn't say that any song is better than the others, they all peculiar but somehow they fit together perfectly. This album should be listened from beginning to end, including the bonus disk (containing 8 tracks).
