Great. Now ROCKETSPIMP likes them? Damned sharkjumpers are S O O V E R R A T E D now and definitely not hip. I bet Pitchfork is preparing to pounce in a fit of anger. moestavernfaints19 PS: VDP, can I have the 625 tiny pieces of artwork? You can keep the oxo-degradable plastic.
2 days left...is anybody else going to get up at 12:01 a.m. on the 19th and try to see if your pre-ordered download will be available?
I doubt Radiohead is going to go by CST. I would love it if they made it available at midnight in England (6 PM on Friday in our time)
deleted... As quickly as that stinker came up, it was taken back down. Looks like I fell for it hook, line and sinker!
Say what? Let's try that again... Another classic: one that marries the taut electronica of Kid A with the anthemic Britpop belters of Pablo Honey and the complex prog of OK Computer. Is that what he meant? We get it Radiohead fans are blind followers.
I agree....especially the last song on the list. Who knows! Guess we will just have to wait until Saturday.
This site has every last tidbit about every known Radiohead song that may appear on the album. http://www.citizeninsane.eu/tkol.html a few from http://web.ateaseweb.com/2011/02/15/is-radioheads-the-king-of-limbs-an-8-track-album/ The Daily Mail Mouse Dog Bird Lotus Flower Give Up The Ghost Skirting On The Surface Open The Floodgates Let Me Take Control/Chris Hodge Burn The Witch No Shame Pay Day Super Collider there are some youtube vids of some of those songs.
The damn album cover sounds like a juvenile penis joke but, you know, they're PROFOUND, so it's all good...
Dirt bike music did indeed change the world. I bow to the dirt-bike genius in them. If only Mozart or Beethoven had "dirtbike!"
It's available for download - go get it if you pre-ordered! I'm on the first listen now. It's only 8 tracks as rumored. Track list: 01 - Bloom 02 - Morning Mr Magpie 03 - Little By Little 04 - Feral 05 - Lotus Flower 06 - Codex 07 - Give Up The Ghost 08 - Separator
On first listen I'll say that my favorite part of the album is Codex-->Give Up The Ghost-->Separator. Down tempo, beautiful. A departure from In Rainbows with far less emphasis on guitar. The first half of the album sounds very Eraser-ish to me after one listen. Here's the video that was just released for the first single, Lotus Flower. Love watching Thom dance. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cfOa1a8hYP8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Wow, I really didn't get anything from that song in the video. Hopefully the rest of the album is better.
I agree with the last part of the album being the best. As with all Radiohead albums, I am going to have to give this some more listens to "get it".
Man....kinda bummed it is only 8 tracks. On my way to work this morning, I was already halfway through.
Bloom is my least favorite track. Really liking Morning Mr. Magpie and Little By Little the more I listen to them. Feral sounds spooky enough that it would fit right in on Kid A. I was reading on another board a crazy idea that maybe these 8 tracks are only the first half of the album, and that more will be released in the near future. The conspiracy theories that support this: - The final track, "Separator", was debuted last year during Thom's solo shows. At that time though the song was called "Mouse Dog Bird." Changing it to Separator would seem to support the idea that more is to come. - Near the end of Separator, Thom repeatedly says "If you think this is over then you're wrong." - The vinyl release is going to be 2 records. 2 records for only 8 songs and 38 minutes of music? Things that don't support this: - It's only 5 minutes shorter than Amnesiac, and that is also on 2 records. I find it highly unlikely that there is more to come, but it's fun to think about. I expect we'll get some b-sides sometime soon as has been the case with other releases.
