I was underwhelmed as well
Radiohead gets a pass and I don't know why. They are one of these "IN" bands that you have to be on some intellectually elevated dimension to get sometimes (I'm guessing, because I don't get it). They've been critical darlings for decades. I've bought my fair share of albums that never really clicked for me and gave up on them. Then I heard In Rainbows. Wow. It was perfect, for me anyway. I love this record. So now I'm sucked in and back to buying albums that just don't click for me...
I downloaded the album and listened to it over the weekend. Albums get the big stereo treatment. Nothing really grabbed me. It just kind of played. So I played it again...still nothing. I will give it the headphone treatment and the ride treatment next, but so far = eh
