Radiohead:In Rainbows-Current Appreciation

[Bongy_Digital]

Im sure there is an old post in reference to this album. Anybody still diggin on this album as much as when it first came out? I personally think its a more than wonderful Radioehead album. Probably my favorite of them all, I love them all, but Rainbows has something else not sure exactly what it is. ESP Videotape, the emotion captured in that song is incredible.

I also HIGHLY suggest to anybody living in an area close to where their tour is landing to GO!!!!!!!!!! Im sure its sold out by now, but scalpers are sure to be found on this tour, even cheaper if you are willing to sacrifice the first song or two. I got a ticket for 10 bucks(gave dude 15 bc shit 10 bucks for radiohead????) right as the second song was starting. Some concerts are great, others leave a permanent mark in your brain that you will never forget, Radiohead this summer is one of them shows. Get yo self there.

im not trying to call you dumb, lame, a noob, or anything negative. being able to have your own opinion is what makes things fun. however im just curious how much effort youve put towards truly hearing/interperting videotape. i agree it is reptetive. but i feel the repetiveness adds to the song. it does carry the same melody/tune/piano throughout the whole song, however it SLOWLY builds more and more powerful. i admit when i first got this album, I loved the hell out of it, and when the last song, videotape, came on I heard it more as a slow, sort of boring lead out to a great album. however after multiple listens/disecting lyrics regardless of how slow and repetive it may be the power and emotion is certainly there.
"no matter what happens now you shouldnt be afraid because i know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen" put in context with the basis of the rest of the song that line is VERY powerful. I can only hope when I die I can honestly say such a thing. Being that you think the rest of the album rocks if you truly havent digested what "Videotape" is conveying, esp in context with messages throughout the rest of the album, i do encourage you to listen to the lyrics and form your opinion around them rather than the repetive piano notes. if you already have and still dislike the song, more power to ya, glad to hear ya dig the rest of In Rainbows.

/\/\/\/\ good looking out on the links dude. i guess though itunes made them take down the video of in the basement. i just saw that for sale on itunes for 7.99 today, def gonna have to buy that. have you downloaded the rainydayz remix of in rainbows by amp live? its certainly worth the free download if you are diggin the album.
