RH sent out download codes to millions of fans last night, releasing their new album digitally. Guys, Radiohead fan or not, buy this album. They rock at points, and it is just beautiful and slow at parts. I do not know yet, if I would call it better than OK Computer.... It smokes everything else.
I heard they are letting fans pay whatever they want for this. Here's an article on it: http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/bal-to.radiohead10oct10,0,3783015.story
Yeah I got the email and downloaded it this morning. I've only heard the first 4 tracks on the way to work, so I'll reserve judgment until I give it a full listen. I've loved everything they've released up to this point, so hopefully this will be no exception.
I got the email, but my internet at home is down and I don't want to mess up downloading it here. I thought about downloading it straight to my flash drive, but i don't want to take any chances. I guess I did get it for zero. Now I feel kind of bad because I just did it as a goof. I'll buy some merch or something unless they do plan on putting out on CD.
Anyone have any links to a streaming version that I can listen to at work? I went to www.inrainbows.com, and it says that it's still on preorder.
Really liking this disc (though I am biased) Paid $15 for it. Was going to do it for free, but felt bad
Well yeah, to begin with it's MP3, and only 160Kbps. You could literally get it for less than a dollar (the transaction fee) if you download it. I'm not complaining too much and I gave a little over 10 for it.
I'll be the first to say it -- I paid £0.00 for the album. No credit card needed = no transaction fee = FREE.
I don't want to download a compressed version of the album. I want the CD and I'll happily pay for it... but I'll be DAM**D if I'm going to pay $81 for the discbox version on the website. It doesn't sound like such a nifty idea if you simply want a lossless version of the album. Guess I'll be a cheapskate because I'm not going to pay for it now, then pay for it again next year.
I will stop, I will stop at nothing. Say the right things when electioneering I trust I can rely on your vote. When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet. When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet. Ha ha ha Riot shields, voodoo economics, it's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F. I trust I can rely on your vote. When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet. When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet.
I love this album, it's one of those that grows on you with each listen. Favorites so far are Bodysnatchers, Nude, Reckoner, and Videotape.
