Radiohead. Hadn't really listened to them in a while prior to last week when whoever it was posted those two new tracks, but listening to them over the weekend made me remember just how damn good of a band, as a whole, they are.

With that this may be my favorite album of theirs at this moment.

Although low on my Radiohead list it still beats the Arcade Fire album (which is solid).

Radiohead. Neon Bible (and several also-ran bands) sort of killed Arcade Fire for me, although I do still like Funeral. Just haven't had a desire to hear it in a while.

In Rainbows seems to have held up fairly well, and does seem to at least be an improvement over Hail to the Thief.

In Rainbows will never shed the stink of Dale's semen.

I don't think I have ever been more meh on an album by a band that I once really liked in my life than I have been with In Rainbows.

It's like they took the most bland parts of Amnesiac and Hail To The Thief, threw 'em together and came up with In Rainbows.

I really really tried to like it too. I mean, I gave that thing at least 7-8 spins.

Garcade Fire.

i would've agreed with this a couple months ago until i saw arcade fire's ACL performance. really renewed my interest in this particular album. neon bibile is still a piece of shit though.

I felt this way until recently, when I joined this Radiohead/Bowie band workshop thing. Several of the other members wanted to do some In Rainbows songs and really shed new light on them for me. Particularly "Reckoner." Love that guitar.

I'm a huge Radiohead fan, and like In Rainbows, but Funeral is a better album overall when it comes to music. Culturally speaking, In Rainbows destroys Arcade Fire.

The "Radiohead" method that was established with this album. Name your own price, selling it yourself, all that jazz.

I actually like In Rainbows better than Amnesiac or Kid A but I voted Arcade Fire.

Arcade Fire are a really bad band. As in, they're reeeeally bad at their instruments.

The songs aren't really bad, though. They're poor to average.

I just wanna say that seeing it 34 to 11 for AF today puts a tiny ray of sunshine in my heart.
