With In Rainbows, Radiohead blended the best of Kid A experimentalism with The Bends songcraft. The results are a quite satisfying mix of sonically ambitious yet accessible songs, ranging from the frenzied beats of opener "15 Steps," and rockin' "Bodysnatchers" to somber slow tracks like "Nude" and "All I Need." Best is the trio of songs in the second half--"Reckoner," "House of Cards," and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place"--that all typify the best of what the band can be, exhibiting warmth, depth and despair.Best: House of Cards, Reckoner, 15 Steps, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, All I Need, Nude, Bodysnatchers

wow 5/5 impressed!
It's really quite good. If you don't know Radiohead, this is a good place to start, as its more accessible than their other recent albums, but retains their electronic weirdness.
