http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2...m-the-king-of-limbs-will-hit-web-on-saturday/ It’s the morning after the Grammy Awards, when the recording industry is still recovering from after-parties, after-after-parties and any pathogenic bacteria it might have picked up from Lady Gaga’s egg, so who would expect there to be any music news before Justin Bieber wakes up? Radiohead, that’s who. That nonconformist British band opted to wait until immediately after the Grammys (and, in Britain, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards) to announce that its next album, “The King of Limbs,”will be available as a digital download on Saturday before its physical release in May. But unlike its last album, “In Rainbows,” for which Radiohead allowed online customers to pay what they wished (if they wished to pay anything at all), “The King of Limbs” will not be sold at such flexible prices. On its Web site for the new album, thekingoflimbs.com, the band said that a digital version can be purchased in advance for $9 (for MP3 format) or $14 (for WAV format). Radiohead is also offering what it calls a “newspaper album” release of “The King of Limbs” (a metaphor that was lost on at least one newspaper employee) which includes two 10-inch vinyl records and a compact disc, as well as “many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-color piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together.” This release is sold for $48 (for MP3 digital files) or $53 (for WAV), and will be shipped on May 9, the band said.
The only band for which Preorder is an absolute must. Pablo Honey The Bends OK Computer Kid A Amnesiac Hail to the Thief In Rainbows King of Limbs Nice.
woah, I knew that they have been working on a new album but I did not think that it was going to be released soon, now it's going to be released Saturday? Crazy.

About dang time, and so soon! What if it pairs up with Kid A like Rainbows did? Case of the Mondays, cured!
One of the most overrated bands of all time, especially considering how highly they think of themselves. .
And there it is. 19 posts later. Personally, I'm more excited about the new TV on the Radio album this Spring.
