Let's discuss the best (and the only perfect) Radiohead album

My favorite track on it is Subterranean Homesick Alien, with The Tourist being a close second.

In Rainbows is the most Reddit/Tumblr Radiohead album by a significant margin.

Without the hype Radiohead's In Rainbows (Radiohead, 2007) would simply be a mediocre attempt at making slightly adventurous classic rock music. Abandoning their pretenses of innovation and futurism, Radiohead returned to their rock roots with a guitar-driven album that features precious few electronic/digital effects. This is U2-style arena-rock for the 2000s. The syncopated blues-soul shuffle 15 Step the half-baked hard-rock of Bodysnatchers (reminiscent of pathetic attempts by the Beatles to reinvent themselves in the age of Cream) or Faust Arp, a Beatles-esque elegy that has been heard countless times in the history of pop music, are not only inferior material by any standard: they are plain amateurish. To make matters worse, the album includes a whole set of sub-pop ballads, from the slow Nude (a long unreleased song, originally titled Big Ideas) to the even more moronic All I Need and House of Cards.
Redeeming the album from utter mediocrity are Jigsaw Falling Into Place, by far the best song, the kind of feverish dance-rock that Inxs specialized in, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, a tender song a` la Coldplay that gradually builds emotioinal momentum, Reckoner, a languid soul lament over a hypnotic polyrhythm and a Moody Blues-esque string section, and finally the piano-driven Videotape, the melodic peak of the album and the one ballad that has something original to say. But it's way too little.
Any critic who hails this album as a masterpiece must be missing 99% of the music released in the same month.

>yfw he's completely right

It would be their best if they actually fucking added the good b sides to the album and took out faust arp. Honestly, 10 fucking songs for a comeback rock album? when there was 4 perfect fucking b sides?!?!?!

>15 step is decent math rock
>bodysnatchers is only "half baked" if you exclusively listen to aggressive noise
>"long" nude
The writer of this should listen to some post-rock if he thinks 5 minutes is "long"
>All I need is moronic
>not an argument

I think this isn't their best album by far by this writer actually has autism, and is indeed wrong

>>71880686

that album is pretty gay.

I don't like the lyrics,
>I don't wanna be your friend I just wanna be your lover
>You're all I need, you're all I need

Fuck you THom and your sentimental trash.

>I don't like it therefore it's reddit

Reckoner is a top 5 Radiohead song. Objective fact.

Weird Fishes is my favorite Radiohead song.

Fight me.
