I had my In Rainbows epiphany after finally getting it in the car on nice speakers and high volume. It was song number four, “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” right near the four minute mark when the drums kick in and everything breaks wide open. I could’ve drove right off the edge of the flat earth after that. Fantastic. Beautiful. Enough of the fart talk. The best band in the world.
UPDATE:
A nice review/article on Radiohead and their new record from–surprise!–Jim DeRogatis.
