However, in many cases, life goes on. Then you record (for instance) HAIL TO THE THIEF. Or maybe something MUCH MUCH WORSE. A lethargic "No" is all I can muster for that answer. I speak lethargically, not because Disc Two of In Rainbows is a snoozer, but rather, a calming sunset after an afternoon of misty weather. Disc Two doesn't massage the senses (like Disc One) as much as it eases you into a menagerie of heavenly delights. Laymen's terms: Disc One is the Lay-Z-Boy recliner working as the landing pad, but Disc Two is the Aromatherapy candle that puts you on the cushion. Breath in, if you wish.

[105] Sales [ edit ] Digital [ edit ] In December 2005, Radiohead hired the producer Spike Stent, who had worked with artists including U2 and Björk, to help them work through their material. O'Brien told Mojo: "Spike listened to the stuff we'd been self-producing. These weren't demos, they'd been recorded in proper studios, and he said, 'The sounds aren't good enough. '" [9] However, the collaboration with Stent was unsuccessful. [10] The brilliant In Rainbows represents no such thing. Nonetheless, it's a very different kind of Radiohead record. Liberated from their self-imposed pressure to innovate, they sound-- for the first time in ages-- user-friendly; the glacial distance that characterized their previous records melted away by dollops of reverb, strings, and melody. From the inclusion and faithful rendering of longtime fan favorite "Nude" to the classic pop string accents on "Faust Arp" to the uncharacteristically relaxed "House of Cards", Radiohead's sudden willingness to embrace their capacity for uncomplicated beauty might be In Rainbows' most distinguishing quality, and one of the primary reasons it's an improvement on Hail to the Thief.
