Its a superb album, and for me its stayed as fresh as when I downloaded it.

Try listening to it without thinking of the inevitable buzz of meaningless hype that regrettably follow this great band.

LOL crack is the bomb! I gave this album more time then other albums that I may have rated poorly. It ended up being “okay”. I just liked Radiohead’s other stuff much more. Coupled with the fact that I listened to Sunset Rubdown’s Random Spirit Lover at the same time, In Rainbows waned in comparison for me. I guess stylistically I disliked it.

I still believe the rankings are biased because 1. It’s Radiohead 2. they did something “different”

dude, I hear what you’re saying but think you’re smoking crack. This album is phenomenal and it requires time and thorough listening, much like Kid A, for it’s full potential to become manifest. I’ve listened to it at least a hundred times now and I still keep hearing more and “getting it” more each time. To each their own, but this album is great.
