::THOM G. BIV::The new Radiohead is perfectly titled. It's less harsh, decidedly less melancholy, and warmer than their previous effort. Whereas
Hail to the Thief, with its electronic glitch and its superbly produced tracks, was made for mp3,
In Rainbows was made for vinyl. It's still just as rich and wrap-around-you dense, but that density is woolen instead of Polyfil.
I mean, god, there's a sample of schoolkids saying "Yay!" in track one.
We can't wait until December.
