IN RAINBOWS

Why do I feel as if Björk is going to enter in some of these songs to sing instead of Thom Yorke? This album has been a grower on me. When it first came out I only liked one song ("Weird Fishes/Arpeggi"--my all-time favorite Radiohead song then and now), but occasional revisits has yielded a much greater appreciation for the rest of the album (as has been the case for pretty much all Radiohead albums for me: it's taken time and patience for me to get inside and enjoy each and every one of their albums). All this being said, I can now say that there is not a bad song on the album. I love the dominant presence of acoustic guitars.

Favorites songs: SONG OF THE YEAR "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" (11/10); "Jigsaw Falling into Place" (9.25/10); "Nude" (9/10); the Beatles-like "Faust Arp" (5/5); the KOOP/folkie "Reckoner" (9/10); "House of Cards" (8.75/10), and; "Bodysnatchers" (8.5/10).
