Almost all fans of good music were up at midnight last night, eagerly waiting the relase of Radiohead's new album, "In Rainbows". I was among them. From the moment I started listening to the album, I could tell it would be good. But it turned it out, it gets even better than that.

The opening track, "15 Steps", is an odd semi-electronic soft rock. It builds up to get better as the song continues. When I was done listening to it, I thought, "This is pretty good." I proceeded to listen to "Bodysnatchers". The beginning of the song hooks you in, to possibly the hardest rocking, and possibly bestsong on the whole album. I loved every second of it. I moved on to "Nude", which was great, and then continued to one of my favorites, "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi". The soft riff at the beginning is the tip of the iceberg in this song, turning into a great soft song, very Radiohead sounding. "All I Need" was an odd song. I still liked it, especially the bass line in the beginning of the song, and Thom Yorke's vocals were the main attraction of the song. "Faust Arp" was another one of my favorites, with a very cool beat at the beginning, and violin/organ background music. I loved it. "Reckoner" seems to be the most lively song on the album from the very beginning, but turns into much softer quiet song. "House of Cards" is hard for me to describe, because I'm a bad reviewer of albums, although I am a good critic of things, I need help actually writing. Nearing the closing of the album, "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" and "Videotape" are great closers.

Radiohead still remains one of the (if not the) most talented bands on Earth. This goes right up in my favorite albums of 2007 so far, with a high score.

I'm a light scorer, but knowing how rarely something this great comes up, it gets 5 stars easily. No matter what comes out for the rest of the year, this will be one of my favorites so far. Since Radiohead isn't my absolute favorite band, or even in my top ten, they are very, very good, which makes me give this the score it deserves (this is how I rate all albums today, how good they are in comparison to most modern music, and this blows all the crappy bands right off the map). It's not my new favorite ever,but hell, it does rock.
