Hello everyone.

Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;

We've called it In Rainbows.

Love from us all.
Jonny

Also, if you choose to order from the site via download, you pay whatever price you want.

This just made my day omg

Now I can stop being mad at them

Valrus · « **Reply #2 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 17:21 »

sweet

I decided to pay £3.00 because
(a) the dollar is weak
(b) radiohead probably has pretty much money
(c) emusic has spoiled me into not thinking I should pay very much for legal music downloads

Looking forward to Oct 10.

Hat · « **Reply #3 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 17:29 »

Hey, you can pay 0.00.

This just in:

Radiohead are fucking batshit insane

Actually I am really looking forward to being able to buy the album in stores, from what information I could find on the website, I'm going to enjoy this record. I am just hoping that Thom Yorke got a lot of the glitchy beep boop instincts out of his system with The Eraser.

squawk · « **Reply #4 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 17:36 »

Judging by my experience at their concert last year it is going to be pretty got-danged good. I am buying this so hard. Also, it is two discs! If you buy the digital download then you are only able to download the first one.

Basically Radiohead has been in my top 3 favorite bands since I was eight, and I have had to wait four fucking years for this new one so I am expecting nothing but the best. And I guess them tricking us into thinking we had to wait till 2008 is okay and I can stop being mad at Thom for being crazy and rocking back and forth on his bed crying about global warming.

Joseph · « **Reply #5 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 17:42 »

I'm pretty certain I am going to order the diskbox.
Also, I really like the way that they're doing this. Especially with choosing your own price for the digital download.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #6 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 18:17 »

I would love the discbox but there's no way in hell I can afford 40GBP, much less $40 so I'm going to have to settle for the download. As much as I would love the vinyl and the extra disc it shall not be. I do think it's a little odd that the only way you can get the extra disc is if you pay for the vinyl as well. I have a turntable but most people I know do not (including many of my friends who also happen to be big Radiohead fans). It's an odd package because a number of people will either buy the box and have some large and expensive coasters or they won't buy it because they can't afford all the extra stuff which many won't be able to use anyway. At around $80, this is a pretty pricey set and I'm surprised that there's no middle ground between the bare bones download and the all out, expensive box set.

Ishotdanieljohnston · « **Reply #7 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 18:42 »

This is amazing news i am so excited!! but does it come out inteernationally in 10 days, and only on the internet or in stores as well?

Ishotdanieljohnston · « **Reply #8 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 18:52 »

oh i get it now, i'm just about to pre-order the disc box.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #9 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 18:54 »

oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck.
I just creamed myself

Hat · « **Reply #10 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 18:57 »

I decided I'm going to try to collect all Radioheads B-sides today for a laugh and listen to their entire discography in backwards order in celebration of this.

Wish me luck.

bryanthelion · « **Reply #11 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 19:14 »

My ol' LA will love this...

I never got into radiohead.

Hat · « **Reply #12 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 20:21 »

My god, Amnesiac has some fucking stunning B-sides on its singles. I really actually like most of these more than tracks on the album.

squawk · « **Reply #13 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 20:48 »

Radiohead B-sides and unreleased songs are fucking golden.

Joseph · « **Reply #14 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 20:49 »

I really need to get my hands on them. How're you coming by them? Torrents?

Hat · « **Reply #15 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 21:04 »

Yeah, I'm pretty much picking up all their EP's and single collections that I've never actually seen in stores.

At the moment I am about to spin Kid A and then I Might Be Wrong, so I'm not even halfway yet.

kablaaamo · « **Reply #16 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 21:12 »

I Might Be Wrong is actually one of my favourite Radiohead recordings.

That being said, I've become pretty ambivalent about the band in the time between Hail to the Thief and now. I associate them with being angry, and I just don't have the rage anymore, guys. In Rainbows will get a listen from me, but the excitement, I don't have it. Neat of them to do a sneak-attack album drop though.

Ishotdanieljohnston · « **Reply #17 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 21:21 »

angry? i've only ever needed confusion, alienation, and paranoia to listen to there records and i doubt i'll ever be without that. I love i might be wrong too... if only for ideoteque and true love waits.

Hat · « **Reply #18 on:** 30 Sep 2007, 23:17 »

Hey you guys, it turns out Anyone Can Play Guitar has the best cover out of any single I've ever seen.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #19 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 03:57 »

I bet people said that about Kid A, too.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #20 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 05:59 »

Man, I don't know about that Tommy. This is a crazy world. Lots of people seem to actually like a band as mindfuckingly boring as Radiohead!

KharBevNor · « **Reply #21 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 06:43 »

Ah, of course, precious bodily fluids.

I have been maintaining mine by drinking rainwater and pure alcohol.

pilsner · « **Reply #22 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 08:16 »

Who are Radiohead? Are they the ones who do the My Bloody Valentine covers?

Man you kids with your music.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #23 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 09:29 »

I'm admit they've got balls for trying this, but the distribution/pricing system is fucked up and inherently favors people who like in the UK and have a record player. I have a record player, but I'm not going to pay $80 for this shit.

Misereatur · « **Reply #24 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 11:42 »

This is Radiohead, why is everyone so surprised?

Also I am getting my hands on this album no matter what.

Tehz · « **Reply #25 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 12:15 »

I read the news, and I started screaming. I have yet to stop.

I'm so excited, you don't even know.

Joseph · « **Reply #26 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 12:30 »

It will be coming out in an actual CD version as well, for those who don't want the diskbox. Apparently that'll be out in early 2008.

Joseph · « **Reply #27 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 13:22 »

Of course, it's also really expensive.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #28 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 13:33 »

I really hope this restores my faith in Radiohead. I really really hope.

BrownCow · « **Reply #29 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 14:23 »

wait, is it really free?
as much as i love radiohead ( a lot ) their paranoid internet web-giberish has me so confused =[

I think it would cost me my pay check and then some to order the discbox.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #31 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 15:19 »

I'll wait for the early 2008 release.
The download might get some money from me though. Or will I feel bad about getting the download for free?
Hmm... (THIS IS ME THINKING)

jaydot · « **Reply #32 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 15:28 »

incredibly interesting and possibly groundbreaking way of distributing a record. i'm very excited.

SeanBateman · « **Reply #33 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 18:20 »

I do not really care about this record and do not really like radiohead but I don't mind getting it for free!

Gryff · « **Reply #34 on:** 01 Oct 2007, 23:55 »

Hey a new Radiohead album. That's pretty good news. I find that I've always kind of lost interest in them by the time they release a new record, but then I always seem to get into them again once I actually listen...

Eraser was nice but didn't have a lot of longevity I thought. Hopefully this will be better.

In Rainbows is a pretty good name for a Radiohead album.

Valrus · « **Reply #35 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 05:22 »

Which is promising.

Ã¶de · « **Reply #36 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 05:52 »

Is this thread to trick hipsters into thinking it's ok to like Radiohead?

I've never actually given a whole Radiohead album a listen, so since it's free... (as if I would have paid for it anyway).

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #37 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 07:40 »

Wouldn't it be funny if this was Radiohead's first shitty album?? Like, when they finally go indie and aren't on a major label they release the worst album of their career.

I know *I* would laugh.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #38 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 11:23 »

First shitty album? Are we forgetting "Pablo Honey" by any chance?

kablaaamo · « **Reply #39 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 11:40 »

Also, Amnesiac?

I call shennanigans on this statement. Amnesiac might not have been their best, but it certainly wasn't shitty.

Amnesiac I like more than their other albums (save for Kid A, which is easily their best)

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #43 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:34 »

Amnesiac is brilliant. Have you listened to "Pyramid Song," "I Might be Wrong," "Dollars & Cents," "Hunting Bears," "Like Spinning Plates," or "Life in a Glass House" lately? All those songs are fantastic (the first two especially) and the rest of the album is pretty good too. It's more consistently solid than The Bends is anyway.

Hat · « **Reply #45 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 15:26 »

Guys Amnesiac would be such a great album if it wasn't for Pulk/Pull revolving doors. That song literally ruined the album for me.

Life in a Glasshouse is so good though.

Ishotdanieljohnston · « **Reply #46 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 16:44 »

My thoughts exactly. Pulk/Pull is terrible, bu there are so many great songs on that album.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #47 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 16:52 »

I saw Pilobolus (famous interpretive dance troupe) do some weird interpretive dance to Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. Of course they were also doing stuff to stuff like Primus, Squarepusher, and Calexico. Weird stuff.

muteKi · « **Reply #48 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 17:01 »

I've got to get a fucking mobile phone number? Screw that!

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #49 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 17:30 »

Am I alone in thinking 'Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors' is a pretty cool song? It's certainly no worse than 'Fitter Happier' and that didn't even come close to ruining OK Computer.
