9.3

Don't expect a 10.0 in Pitchfork review of Radiohead's In Rainbows.... instead, they leave it up to you. (But, no really, it's 9.3.) Harp has speculation that 1.2 million sold.

Oh yeah, plenty. <em><a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/21224-ok-computer" target="_blank">OK Computer</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/21226-kid-a" target="_blank">Kid A</a></em>, for example. But also, Wilco's <em><a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/23177-yankee-hotel-foxtrot" target="_blank">Yankee Hotel Foxtrot</a></em> and Flaming Lip's <em><a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/17748-the-soft-bulletin" target="_blank">The Soft Bulletin</a></em>, For you Minneapolites, 12 Rods even got <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/22719-gay" target="_blank">a 10.0 once</a>.

Ok, I see. you know what would have been cool? if they had allowed users to review the record ...they're too snotty for that, though

Since the pile of adjectives told me nothing about the actual sound of the album, I rate the review 2.0.

I'd be curious to see the sales metrics. What was the top price, how many freebies, what was the median price? is Radiohead making the info public @ any point?
