Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yup. Amazing song. Amazing album.Time will tell, but I could easily see this becoming my favorite Radiohead album. I just cannot get enough of it. Yes. In Rainbows is definitely my favorite now. I'm not sure why, but this song, and this album strike a chord in me more deeply than any of the others. Not to get all melodramatic about it, but there's some kind of bittersweet tragic truth buried in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 Love this tune. The way the bass sits in this song is my favourite part of the whole "In Rainbows" album. Just genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fishyfan Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 In Rainbows is my absolute favorite Radiohead album. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi sticks out as a standout track. I have 4200+ songs in iTunes and yet, I cannot keep myself from wanting to listen to In Rainbows daily. I must also say that when I listen to Radiohead, I get this feeling like I am on top of the world, rather peculiar considering that Radiohead arent exactly the most "up" band in the world. No matter what, In Rainbows still makes me feel amazing, no matter what Im going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Bodysnatchers last; I don't particularly like it, it doesn't really fit the vibe that every song off of 'In Rainbows' has: chill, effect drenched, thought out, no grit, pure sex music. I feel like if it were a song off 'The Bends' it would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. It's a bittersweet album for me, which is the mood of all of my favorite albums. I like melancholy. It's probably my favorite emotion. "Jigsaw" however sends me into orbit. That song surges in a way that Radiohead rarely reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 21st century"That single guitar note just hangs there, and everything builds into this crescendo that sends me spinning. It just makes me want to crash into flames.

Members Fishyfan Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 in rainbows is definitely my #1, followed by okc. + several thousand googol. The album has this vibe to it that is so...heavenly, especially Videotape. that song is, to me, the closest thing to a perfect description of purgatory I have ever heard.

Members brianeharmonjr Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Don't think I'll ever get over this album. Possibly my favorite Radiohead yet. Wierd Fishes is definitely one of my favorites. As far as the meaning, don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coma Larkin Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Gotta say I resisted it for a long time simply due to hype, but holy {censored} it's been a LONG time since I've been so enchanted by the overall feel/vibe of an album. The guitars on it are exactly what I've been trying to play for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I had to have listened to In Rainbows 15 times the first few days I had it. It's easily one of my top 5 CD's. The album is just perfect. I have to say that "Nude" is my favorite song on the CD though. That reverb drenched raked arpeggio in the "chorus" section is Godly.

I love Jonny's clean tone where he fingernails the string. So awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
