Radiohead In Rainbows 2xLP 45rpm 2xCD Vinyl 2007 UK Import Boxset Limited Edition Archival Sleeves
Best sounding recording I ever heard
Box set released to pre-order at the same time as the download version in October 2007, and dispatched on December 3rd.
The box contains the album on both two 45 RPM 12" vinyl records, and on CD, along with a second, enhanced CD containing eight audio tracks, artwork and photos.
Holy moses this sounds incredible. The detail in the vinyls is something else. I see now why people say some are too quiet, noisy or clicky. It's impossible to fault anything here, overall from the beautiful presentation and the extras, if you're a fan of this band don't even hesitate to pick up a copy.
On 10/10, just 10 days after it was officially announced, Radiohead's 10-track masterpiece In Rainbows was released as a pay-what-you-want (including $0) digital download. Swirling electronics, epic strings, arpeggiating guitars, thoughtful bass, IDM influenced drumlines, haunting melodies, and Thom Yorke's distinctive wail meld together and make up a magnificent album. Like the Beatles and other trailblazing popular bands of ages past, Radiohead manages to collect all of the inaccessible, groundbreaking experimental work of the time and meld it into something beautiful. From the wobbly Boards of Canada synths in "15 Step" to the orgasmic post-rock climax of "All I Need" to the Can-like drumming that opens "Reckoner", there's hardly a dull moment musically. It's not the most cheerful music, but damn if it isn't relevant in 2007 or 2020 and damn if it isn't one of the best releases by the best band of its generation. 10 out of 10.
Astonishing. Never has Radiohead sounded this glowing and guileless. A beautiful, sensuous, moving album that only gets better upon repeated listenings. It certainly helps that the songwriting is more focused than its been since the last millennium, and Thom Yorke's lyrical concerns, while not exactly upbeat, are at least personal and relatable on those terms. From the fierce "Bodysnatchers," the pensive, yearning "Reckoner" to the spare,elegiac closer "Videotape," this is a true revelation. One of the finest albums of the 2000s
