New Radiohead Album "In Rainbows"
Thrillho:
I don't think we can say 80 minutes is always too long any more than we can say 20 minutes is always too short. Albums are albums, and the medium is the medium. There will always be albums that only work as long as that and always be albums that only work as short as that. Tons of double albums work at 80 minutes, so why not a standard album at CD length?
It's an album-to-album thing.
As for bonus tracks - I like them, but I must say it's slightly annoying when they're on the same disc. However I know for a fact alternatives would make it more expensive and all this other bullshit. I mean my copy of Pet Sounds has the whole fucking album on there twice, with a bonus track in the MIDDLE because it's only in mono and mono mix comes first. What the fuck is that all about? However, the alternative would be two discs, which for the collectors would virtually double what they'd end up paying.

Radiohead had a list of 16 tracks and culled it down to 10... the bonus disc has these on them and i think i have most of them, like down is the new up... and i really like them.

I may be a purist here, but I hate when reissues have all kinds of bonus tracks stuck right after the album ends. They could at least have 30 seconds or so of silence to help you cleanse your palette, y'know??

Frog Eyes actually did that with their reissue of The Golden River. It really helps to separate the original material from the bonus tracks.
I think I'm saying I agree with you!

Do acid and listen to both those songs and come back and tell me your opinion hasn't changed.

I'm comfortable making the virtually unfounded blanket statement that any song that can only truly be appreciated while on drugs isn't worth shit.
Hat:
I don't know if you just didn't understand what I was trying to say there or you are simply agreeing with me.
