The Greatest Song in the World This Week: Radiohead - “Jigsaw Falling into Place”

The Greatest Song In The World This Week

radiohead The Greatest Song in the World This Week: Radiohead Jigsaw Falling into Place Radiohead, it seems, are hell-bent on world domination. First there was the record-breaking digital release of In Rainbows, a controversial decision that stuck two fingers firmly up to the flailing EMI. Then they sold out huge chunks of their European tour. And then came the physical release of the album, which has ensured they’ve been flying high for all that exists of 2008 so far. And this week the Oxfordshire quintet are back to really pound the udders of the cash cow.
As well as causing all sorts of hoo-haa at Rough Trade East on Brick Lane on Wednesday night, Radiohead have opted for some traditional promotion in the form releasing the single ‘Jigsaw Falling into Place’. And what better reason to add to Yorke and co’s millions than this little nugget of Radiohead goodness!

‘Jigsaw Falling into Place’, like much of In Rainbows, is from The Bends‘ school of Radiohead thought, and is led by a guitar riff reminiscent of ‘Street Spirit’; the track has just the right amount of upbeat movement to keep your foot tapping, whilst retaining the trademark moodiness we have come to love and expect from a Radiohead track.
‘But why buy the single when you can download the album for free?’ I hear you cry! Well not only will it satisfy the record collector inside you, but you’ll also become the proud owner of a few bonus live tracks too.
‘Jigsaw Falling into Place’ is available on CD, 7-inch and digital download (as well as on In Rainbows, natch, which is now available on a number of formats, including via telepathy from Yorke himself).*
