Review: Radiohead - In Rainbows

*1/2

Now you wouldn't expect to see a Radiohead album with such a low rating considering that they are thought of to be one of the most popular bands of all time, but this critic is honest.

The band released their most current album "In Rainbows" this year. The album goes through a large departure from their earlier work. The eerie semi-depressed haunting classics of their earlier albums have now been transformed into up tempo anthems, dangerously close to becoming pop music. Most bands do grow and mature musically lyrically but Radiohead is a band that did so in a distasteful way. Lyrically the band is on point, maturing nicely.

"Nude" is one of the songs slow ballads that also happens to be the only song that sounds like "classic" Radiohead with a touch of maturity. Tracks worth mentioning would be "15 step" which is upbeat but decent. Another would be "bodysnatchers" which is good lyrically but when added to a beat that sounds like it was created in the hippie era while high on acid, It would take a while to grow onto a person.

A quick quote by Thom Yorke, Radiohead Front man - "it's similar to OK Computer in a way. It's much more terrifying."
Absolutely not! In all the album failed to make a good impression and led me on a search for classic Radiohead...
