I'm pretty excited about this new album. I don't know how much I'm going to pay for it, though. £2.50 seems reasonable because I tend to pay £3 or £5 for CDs and this is only a download... but I could get the thing for £1 and feel a little bit guilty.

ProggyMan 10-09-2007 08:42 PM

I feel guilty...I didn't pay anything...

N*S*G 10-09-2007 10:00 PM

I wanted to pay nothing, however I plan on selling my music online too... bad karma >_>

ProggyMan 10-10-2007 12:04 AM

I <3 Thom Yorke.

What do you guys think? I didn't pay because I'm not that big a fan of Radiohead, but so far I'm liking it.

sleepy jack 10-10-2007 02:52 AM

Videotape is my favorite song, Jigsaw Falling Into Place and Reckoner I also like alot. I don't know what I think of this...I'll probably write a review sometime over the next few days i'm putting it on a cd now.

Also I changed the thread thread title since this is probably going to become a popular thread over the next few days.

So is anyone interested in the £40 / $80 box set versions of the album that are going to be released ?

=ladyface= 10-10-2007 10:37 AM

I'd say that I'm interested but I really can't afford it. I'm hoping that somebody will be selling the thing on eBay for £8 in a couple of years. :p:

Urban Hat€monger ? 10-10-2007 10:53 AM

You don't think perhaps that it's release close to the xmas shopping rush was a coincidence did you ? ;)

jackhammer 10-10-2007 10:59 AM

I can't get on the website to pay (as little as possible!) for it!

=ladyface= 10-10-2007 11:00 AM

I just checked the release date for that thing... very clever of them. :p:

Mouseketeer 10-10-2007 11:06 AM

My computer is being stupid and everything's being facking slow, so I can't download it.

Urban Hat€monger ? 10-10-2007 11:09 AM

I would imagine the servers can't cope with the demand for it.
I can't log onto it either.

jackhammer 10-10-2007 11:11 AM

No the site is being really slow and after waiting aeons for it to load, I could'nt download it-its says released 10th October. That's today mofo's. Bugger it someone give me an up !

=ladyface= 10-10-2007 11:11 AM

I can't get on to the site either, by the way. I suppose the thousands and thousands of Radiohead fans have had their dinner/come home from work/come home from college and they're clogging up the site. :p:

Urban Hat€monger ? 10-10-2007 11:24 AM

Work you f*cker !!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sorry got a bit carried away there :o:

=ladyface= 10-10-2007 11:34 AM

This is so annoying. The different time zones mean that there's not going to be a 'good time' to go for it for a while. When the UK kids are off to bed and stop trying to get on some other people will be waking up and getting online.

For those who can't get it: Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

Anyone else think All I Need is strangely sexual?

Urban Hat€monger ? 10-10-2007 11:37 AM

Finally :D

Mouseketeer 10-10-2007 11:38 AM

Ahh, you're a dude!

Dammit why couldn't you have been here 2 minutes earlier :(

Piss Me Off 10-10-2007 11:41 AM

Oh, and they're still brilliant by the way.

Thanks for the link :D x

joyboyo53 10-10-2007 01:13 PM

thank you so much!

jackhammer 10-10-2007 01:18 PM

Listening to it now-fúcking quality!

joyboyo53 10-10-2007 01:47 PM

im enjoying it myself

Urban Hat€monger ? 10-10-2007 02:42 PM

I like Bodysnatchers , but it sounds like it was recorded on some cheap & nasty Goodmans stereo :(

Like most Radiohead albums i'll need a couple of weeks to familiarise myself with it but I can see a few songs becoming favourites.

cardboard adolescent 10-10-2007 03:00 PM

Bodysnatchers was really cool, the other songs were ok as well but nothing really stood out on first listen.

jackhammer 10-10-2007 03:25 PM

I love it already WEIRD FISH is stunning. I think RADIOHEAD seem to be comfortable with who they are and their music is benefitting from it.

While most of the civilized world got lost this morning In Rainbows, NYC's Gothamist blog chatted with Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, who shared some insight on the new album, as well as his own exploits in orchestral composition and film-scoring. It's worth your while to peruse the entire interview here, but quick-fixers can cut to the chase right now:

Gothamist: What's motivating the band to distribute the album this way?

Jonny Greenwood: Just getting it out quickly. It was kind of an experiment as well; we were just doing it for ourselves and that was all. People are making a big thing about it being against the industry or trying to change things for people but it's really not what motivated us to do it. It's more about feeling like it was right for us and feeling bored of what we were doing before.

Gothamist: Why give people the option to pay whatever they want?

Greenwood: It's just interesting to make people pause for even a few seconds and think about what music is worth now. I thought it was an interesting thing to ask people to do and compare it to whatever else in their lives they value or don't value.

Gothamist: Have you gotten any figures of how much people are choosing to pay?

Greenwood: No we get the numbers tomorrow supposedly. Yeah, I don't know. The more exciting thing for me is just hearing it on the radio today and knowing it's landed on everybody's desk at the same time. That's what's exciting. But yeah, I'm sure our manager will have some idea soon.

Gothamist: How did the process of making In Rainbows differ from Hail to the Thief?

Greenwood: It was more like earlier Kid A stuff, more based in studio experiments and trying out ideas and spending quite a long time. That's what we did with Kid A and Amnesiac.

Gothamist: What song on the album proved most difficult to finish?

Greenwood: Even ones that we finished quickly we spent a long time deciding if they were good enough. None of them were easy, actually. "Reckoner" kind of came together quickly.

Beyond that, Greenwood also revealed that he's yet to start work on the commissioned piece that comes as part of his BBC British Composer Awards victory ("Thanks for reminding me, I must start something soon on that.") and that he likely won't be attending the U.S. premiere of Popcorn Superhet Receiver this coming January in New York City.

Oh, also: Radiohead hope to tour in 2008!!!

Greenwood also spoke with RollingStone.com's Rock&Roll Daily blog today and said more or less exactly the same things, sometimes word-for-word. One new topic he did touch upon, however, is the touchy subject of the 160 kbps In Rainbows mp3s. Justified Jonny: "We talked about it and we just wanted to make it a bit better than iTunes, which it is, so that's kind of good enough, really. It's never going to be CD quality, because that's what CD does."

In related news, since the In Rainbows download didn't come with album art, folks have started making their own. Here's our favorite so far:

=ladyface= 10-10-2007 05:11 PM

I am definitely using that one. :p:

sleepy jack 10-10-2007 05:28 PM

Does anyone else get a kind of Pixies influence to it?

jackhammer 10-10-2007 05:38 PM

No i'm getting a languid Prog Rock influence myself TBH.

sleepy jack 10-10-2007 06:27 PM

I like the later half of the album better than the first half. Reckoner is my favorite, i've grown to like House of Cards alot too. I have an urge to listen to radioheads discography in chronological order so I think i'm going to do that.

ProggyMan 10-10-2007 08:09 PM

I see some Dream Pop in there. They've always had prog influences Jackhammer.

ProggyMan 10-10-2007 08:21 PM

Never as strong.

I agree with you about the later part of the album; I think it might be a fun/good idea to listen to Radiohead's discography front to back and write a review on either the newest CD compared to the previous work, or about the development of their music through each CD... if time permits I might do that this weekend.

Urban Hat€monger ? 10-11-2007 10:01 AM

I liked the 2nd half of the album much much better than the first.

House of Cards does look like it's going to be a standout track.

The Dave 10-11-2007 11:38 AM

Hell, has Radiohead always sounded this amazing? I've only listened to the first 4 tracks so far but this is definitely a great album. Nude was such a gorgeous track, Weird Fishes, musically, reminds me of Broken Social Scene. This will easily be one of the best albums of 2007.
