Radiohead - In Rainbows

[Igottago]

Someone has too much time on their hands.

[Weiser Wonder]

I think Radiohead has stated there are some secret meainings and what not in In Rainbows. They did it because when they were teens obsessed with music, they loved it when bands would give secret meanings and hidden connections to things. I'm not really into it personally, as I find Radiohead's music engrossing enough without looking for connections to the number 10 or what have you.

Nothing to this theory IMO.

The transition between Airbag & 15 Steps is so much more jarring than Airbag & Paranoid Android, showing the difference between songs meant to flow together and songs that just happen to have some similarities.

It did get me listening to both albums for the first time in a while, so thanks to ricosuave for that.

Although I heard if you play Kid A backwards you get Amnesiac.

Yorke himself claims there is a link: “The meaning behind all of this is right in front of our faces, we’re just overlooking it. [Thom] has been expecting an article much like this one for a couple of years, as have I. But I’m willing to wager he’ll have fun waiting a few more. On the other hand, it seems to annoy him that no one ‘gets it’ yet, given the mountain of clues.”

Yeah, I get that part. But he seems to be talking about the use of "10" or whatever. Not some link between the 2 albums and the magically correct way to play them back together.

I agree with Ed - "Let Down"

[Winsor_Pilates]

Let Down for me too.
Why they are asking people like Skrillex this question I do not understand.

Even the reggae version is amazing!



For me it's Polyethylene.



Paranoid Android is up there too but it's sort of the "Stairway to Heaven" of this discussion.
