Radiohead's

In Rainbows
$13.98
While constructing this review, I let my schizophrenia loose to connect a few dots between Thom Yorke & co. and David Byrne's Talking Heads. Awhile back, Thom Yorke spoke loosely about 'Kid A' (2000), and the inspiration he received from David Byrne's 'Remain In Light' (1980) sessions to create the album. 'Kid A' was Radiohead's 4th album, as was 'Remain In Light' by the Heads. Then, in 1986, the Talkers released their 7th album 'True Stories', and on the album, the sixth track was entitled 'Radio Head'. 'In Rainbows' is Radiohead's 7th album as well, and while track six is entitled 'Faust Arp', also to feature a band's name in the title [Faust - a German krautrock band], It would serve no good to derive any meaningful connection from it. Also, I have never heard The Talking Head's 'True Stories', but now I'm feeling a little inspired to check it out.

The no. 7 in many religions is an extremely spiritual and Godly thing, and to me, God represents a duality, a completely balanced composition. That's what I make of 'In Rainbows'. To me, it's Radiohead at their most comfortable, balanced and evolved. It's their sonic experimentalism melding with their pop song-writing sensibility to-a-T.

Pick up a copy, some way some how. I guarantee you that if you're mind is open you WILL dig it.

Creep (Explicit)
$0.99
This song is very well connected to the band. People think of this song when the hear the name: "Radiohead".

Kid A
$11.94
It's almost incomprehensible that "Kid A" came from the same guys that gave us "Creep" and "High and Dry"; Kid A's avant-garde electronica is so far removed from their earlier recordings that to say it sounds like a completly different band would be an oversimplification. There is simply nothing else like this record in the rock canon, and the mere fact that these guys can experiment so freely, apparently with carte blanche from Capitol, gives me renewed hope that we will not be assimilated by the Clear Channel juggernaut currently assimilating radio stations worldwide.

Hail to the Thief (Special Collector's Edition)
$34.98
Special Collectors Edition package comes with deluxe, lift-top box packaging, include both audio discs and add a DVD with a variety of promotional music videos, TV performances and filmed concert performances plus a series of postcards.
