New album is quite good. It's really minimalistic, even for Radiohead. 'Bloom', 'Lotus Flower' and 'Codex' I think are fantastic.
I used to have a love/hate relationship with Radiohead's music, but 'In Rainbows' changed all that. A truly flawless album that contains elements out of all their styles. But the greatest thing about it is that it starts out upbeat, and from there on every subsequent song is more emotionally intense or beautiful. I have certain memories that come up when listening to it, especially the end of 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi', 'All I Need' and 'House of Cards'. Then 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place' jabs right at you and 'Videotape' is just complete emptiness. But I guess the emotional intensity comes across that way because of the music itself, not my memories. The music helped me to give shape to these emotions. Anyway, it's my favorite album ever, it's sometimes hard to listen to, but I do think it is 100% perfect.
And disc 2, I don't have any emotional resonance with whatsoever, but I dig the hell out of it. 'Down is the new Up', 'Banger n Mash', all great tunes.
