I can’t begin to express all my gratitude for this band, and Nigel Godrich for producing yet another masterpiece. Radiohead is peerless (through my eyes). Their music is cerebral and far-reaching, yet inaccessible to many. In addition to artists like Prince and NIN, Radiohead proves (beyond the shadow of a fucking doubt) they can and will do without an “ostrich hiding its head in the sand” that is the music industry. They are in absolute control, essentially ‘leaking’ their own album at their own will, at no predetermined price to you. Most profits will be derived from an upcoming, TBA sold-out tour that follows. God bless Radiohead for these 10 tracks called In Rainbows.

Have you ever thought about something so much, to the point where it no longer made any sense? Total analysis paralysis. Well a great musician named Thom Yorke felt compelled to write a song about it.

Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite tracks on The Eraser. The rhythm has that Yorke bedroom-rocker syncopation feel to it. Though it’s minor tone is typical of something from the depths of Thom’s mind, in addition to the yearning, oppressive lyrics, the synths soar and drift about as the bass just walks all over the place. A fine composition I must say. He feels quite helpless here, and I can relate.
