The album was produced by John Leckie in London, and engineered by Nigel Godrich, who would go on to produce all future albums by the band. The album also marked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes for the band, with greater use of keyboards, and more abrasive guitar tracks balancing subtler ones. The introspective grunge-influenced style of their debut album 'Pablo Honey' (1993) evolved into more multi-layered rock with cryptic lyrics and larger ideas, as the band and singer Thom Yorke reacted against the rigors of near-constant world tours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dales Music Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54179362603354,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/7601\/6218\/files\/653145cf-9f53-472a-aea1-e42fdf4208a7.webp?v=1779356459"},{"product_id":"radiohead-in-rainbows","title":"Radiohead - In Rainbows","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe best record since OK Computer... something similar was seen in the press when „ was digitally released in Rainbows“ in October.
