Well, seems like another disappointment ... I was hoping for some kind of bonus cd or something, like it was with In Raindows deluxe edition... especially since the album itself is quite boring. Oh well, at keast i was lucky enought t get Supercollider.
Details, subtleties, mastering yadda yadda... these are ALL VALID POINTS... But here's the thing... No matter how great and understated is this album, I'm already bored with it.
"there is so much happening here"....in my opinion no, it's not. and that's pretty much the problem.
i loved all of the previous albums since day one (except kid a, because somehow i had a chance to listen to it some time after release, still loved it pretty much instantly though) i lover In Rainbows after first listening and i remember it like it was today... i just was extactic and had problem to believe they're giving awayfree something that great... this time? i'm trying to FORCE onto myself the idea that I LOVE IT... but i don't. :| and believe me, i am sorry because i've been waiting for this moment 3 years
you can rationalize all you want, listen 50 times in a row to "get it". but this album simply isn't that great. i really have problem admiting it myself, because i so wanted it to be great. i hoped for a fifth great album, after its four predecessors... well, maybe next time...
songs sound more like a sketches, ideas... not rich radiohead songs we know from previous releases. and the dub step influences? sound outdated already
Kid A: 10/10
Amnesiac: 9/10
Hail to the Thief: 9/10
In Rainbows: 9,5/10
King of Limbs...: 6/10
and i agree with somethong that was said here: more music, Ragiohead, less wortless electronic bleeps frosting... we don't need another post-Fragile Nine Inch Nails
