Well, it's available on http://www.inrainbows.com for download. It's basically whatever you want to pay for it. I didn't pay anything yet as I kind of like the idea of trying out an album, but you can donate whatever you want. Anyways, back to the album itself:
Good stuff. It's less, I dunno if "weird" is the right word for it, but it's closer to The Bends than it is to say Amnesiac. It's less electronic in spots than Radiohead has been in their later albums, but less guitar driven than The Bends or Pablo Honey. Lots of strings. Lots. A little less weird and a little bit more accessible is fine with me. Thus far, I'd say my favorites have to be "Nude" and "Faust Arp". "Nude" is just beautiful and "Faust Arp" sounds so Beatles-esque that I can't help but like it. Oh and "Reckoning" is amazing.
The rest of the album is good as well. Least favorite thus far is the album closer, "Videotape". I'd say Radiohead still hasn't topped "Street Spirit" as an album closer.
Either way, grab it. You can't go wrong with an album that you can technically try for free or keep for free for that matter. The idea of really digging it and never donating anything kind of makes me feel guilty though. ;)
