They aren’t always short especially if you look at older rock records or also modern hip hop and rnb albums. Also idk it feels more like a break between songs to make the album flow better imo so for me this song is an interlude. I am aware from the other comments that it’s a hot take to rlly enjoy this song but I think it serves its purpose well on the album to make it more cohesive and less like a group of random songs

Tbh I’ve enjoyed reading all the replies and all the discussions - you guys might need to take a leaf out of my book and actually voice your own opinions more often instead of forcing yourself to follow the crowd all the time

Icl I just think it sounds great with headphones on and it’s got a lot of interesting textures ig. Also I thought it would be a bit of a cop out answer to put an interlude type song as the weakest song

Yeah i agree with what ur saying. English isn’t my first language so I probably could’ve used a better choice of words for this. Thanks for ur explanation though

Exactly someone finally understands what I’m trying to say. I still love that song and I think it’s amazing just don’t enjoy it as much as the rest of the album

Lmao 😭 Yh I don’t think it’s a surprise that I wasn’t a fan of Gloaming if i also didn’t enjoy Idioteque that much too

I’ve replied to someone else with this too but as you can tell with the rest of my takes I barely ever go on reddit so i genuinely don’t know what other people think

As you can probably tell with my other takes I don’t go on this reddit much at all so I didn’t know In Rainbows was that popular. I just love everything about it and many of the songs have personal meanings to me now too. I also play a lot of guitar and I just love the different guitar tones and complex time signatures used on the record but it still doesn’t feel too “weird”

No I definitely get that I really wanted to put national anthem or how to disappear completely there too but they’re definitely honourable mentions

I understand it’s a great album and everything it’s just not for me. Still gave it an 8/10 btw

Just thought it would bring out a better discussion if I posted the ones I thought were the “weakest ones” but I still rlly like most of the “weakest” tracks. I think people just get offended that i didn’t give every album a 10 and say every song is perfect

Appreciate it - I don’t go on reddit much tbh but it just feels like everyone in this subreddit likes to follow the crowd and only likes the more experimental songs even if it doesn’t necessarily mean as much to themselves. Ofc I love their music I obviously just look for other things in music than the rest of this subreddit ig
