Believe The Hype: In Rainbows IS Good

An incalcuable amount of hype surrounds Radiohead's latest release, In Rainbows. Since October 10th, tech websites & the blogosphere alike have been infinitely abuzz with articles about Radiohead' single-handed destruction of the music industry. Popular artists like Madonna, Trent Reznor, and blank have followed what is now called 'the Radiohead model.' Following the release of In Rainbows, Radiohead has received more plays on popular music social networking sites Last.fm and iLike, than The Beatles. The 10 tracks that comprise the album have totally dominated Top 10's on many more sites with user created content, such as Digg and Technorati. Honestly, can you name a record release that has clogged print & online media with more news than In Rainbows?

Not only that, but Radiohead is a great band--and the latest record is definitely their best.
