no surprises...

Some comments from Stereogum's In Rainbows megathread:

"I don't believe I've ever had such a touching, breathtaking experience musically as when I first listened to the album version of Nude. I just sat there, mouth agape, staring through my laptop's screen."

"Videotape made me feel betrayed on first listen and almost ruined the whole thing for me because all of my favorite parts have been gutted."

"[It's] aching and gentle and timeless"

"It's phenomenal and already my album of the year"

"The whole listening experience [is] much more communal and egalitarian"

Yikes. So many Radiohead fans sound like Dave Matthews Band fans today. So much so that it's kinda taking away from the wonderfulness of the whole "experiment".

Don't get me wrong, I'm completely for gushing over your favorite band... just maybe live with the disk for, oh I don't know, more than 24 hours before you tell me that you saw Jesus when the drums kicked in on track 2.
