In Rainbows - Media Reaction - Links

Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind. What follows is a list of some (impossible to list all) articles that have commented on, or reviewed In Rainbows. There's a lot of reading material here, I admit, but some of the more respected publications are listed nearer the top. Note: this list is subject to update. Considering the worldwide expectations for In Rainbows, it's been received remarkably well. Obviously, there are the odd critics who like to make a name for themselves, but barring those, the album is in strong contention for one of the best albums of the decade, and that's no exaggeration. My full review will be posted tomorrow. In the mean time, lesser critics have the floor to themselves.
