In
Rainbows, as a title, implies a sense of comfort and delightfulness.
Symbolically, rainbows are more likely to be associated with kittens and
warm blankets than the grim and glum circumstances
Radiohead is known
for soundtracking.
There's a slight, if expected, twist at play.
The
band is more than familiar with the unpleasant moods associated with
colors like red, green, and blue - all of which, of course, are colors
within a rainbow - all of which are present, and even mentioned, during
the album.
On a couple levels, then, In Rainbows is not any less fitting
as a Radiohead album title than "Myxomatosis" as a Radiohead song
title.
The one aspect of the album that becomes increasingly perceptible
with each listen is how romantic it feels, albeit in the way that one
might find the bioport scenes in David Cronenberg's to be extremely hot
and somewhat unsettling.
Surprisingly, some of the album's lyrics are
even more personal/universal and straightforward than anything on The
Eraser, the album made by singer Thom Yorke and Radiohead producer Nigel
Godrich.
The album is very song-oriented, with each track constantly
moving forward and developing.
Yet there are also abstract electronic
layers and studio-as-instrument elements to prevent it from sounding
like a regression.
In Rainbows will be remembered as Radiohead's most
stimulating synthesis of accessible songs and abstract sounds, rather
than the world's first pick-your-price download.
