Opinions aren't objective.

I was being sarcastic. Seriously, it's just my preference, don't get so excited.

yeah, Radiohead are a very versatile band, there's something in them for almost everyone...

And I actually believe that.

It reminds me of synchronized swimming.

I don't really care about the music, but does anyone have a picture of the album cover? if its out there or whatever.

^I'm using the one that Ethan posted on page 7 of this thread, it will definitely beat whatever Radiohead actually wanted to use.

It's really a great album... A really, really great album.

I heard a few songs off this album--at least the ones on their myspace. I really enjoyed Faust Arp.

Ok Computer; The Bends: HTTT; Kid A

'In Rainbows' is great, but feels more like a step sideways than forward from HTTT to my ears.
It's their first album since 'The Bends' to not have a clear/direct theme. Radiohead's use of strange noises and long passages are awesome, but feel more out of place in a non-concept context.
Yorke's voice sounds better than on the last few albums. Lots of guitars, but a return to clean Fender sounds rather than the rock of 'Electioneering' that I was hoping for. The drumming is suble, but really good. Check out some of the great double-stops in '15 steps'
Where the hell is the bass? Hopefully the real cd when it's released in feb. will sound ALOT better. A band like Radiohead don't translate as well in mp3, they need sonic space.
The highlight to me is 'Weird Fishes', the creepiest thing they've written since 'Exit Music (From a film)'.
It'll be intresting to hear the other disc.
