I Like the New Radiohead Album

I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe Radiohead's latest studio release In Rainbows is their best album since 1997's opus, OK Computer. Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are all admirable records, but In Rainbows is fresh and cutting.

Perhaps that's because Radiohead have freed themselves of the shackles of record label EMI. Maybe the weight of corporate sucess has been lifted to reveal the band at its true self---honest but not jaded. The machines are there, but the guitars do most of the talking.

Radiohead can now come out and play. They can make their music on their time. They can sell out shows when they feel like it. Radiohead sells their music for what you the consumer wants to pay. Radiohead is winning and if you don't believe me, listen to their new record.
