In Rainbows by Radiohead
In Rainbows is an album by Radiohead, released in 2007. 9 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 114 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Jigsaw Falling Into Place”, on 25 lists with a best position of #7.
In Rainbows, Radiohead's seventh album, appeared on their website on 10 October 2007 with no advance warning and a price tag the fans got to fill in themselves, the first time a major act had tried it. Out of their EMI deal, the band had stalled with Spike Stent before calling Nigel Godrich back, and they cut the record in country houses, at London's Hospital Club and in their own Oxfordshire studio.
The music is warmer and more intimate than anything since the Kid A fracture: Thom Yorke singing about the personal rather than the political, guitars rippling through "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi", Phil Selway and Colin Greenwood locking into supple, restless grooves on "15 Step" and "Reckoner". XL's retail release topped the UK and US charts, and at the 51st Grammys it won Best Alternative Music Album.
