RADIOHEAD -- In Rainbows (new album)

[Coheteboy]

Great news everyone! Radiohead has a new album to debut October 10! That's in 10 days!!!!

The 2nd good news is that the download is... well... you name your price! They're giving you the option to pay what you want to pay. Crazy huh? There's also a discbox set that comes with the physical copy of the album as well as the download and a ton of other stuff. But that's $81. Yikes.

The normal release of the CD pops in earaly 2008.


The bad news: http://www.inrainbows.com/ is the site to preorder your discbox or download. But I've been having trouble getting the order to go through and I'm not about to try again.

But anyway...just wanted to throw it out there so us fans can rejoice or cry depending on how well the download process works next week.

Loves me some Radiohead!

The fact that this includes VYNYL makes it too cool for school!

Not surprised that the order process is messed up between UK and US currencies/formats.

i want to hear a sample before i order... i didn't like hail to the thief very much, in fact the only radiohead album i really like is kid A.
What do you guys think it will be like, weird radiohead or college rock radohead? i'm hoping for weird.

It's so funny how some things work for some and not so much for others. i personally love Hail to the Thief but did not care for Kid A in the slightest!

Hopefully In Rainbows is something both of us will love. I'm in a need for something familiar yet fresh to put a smile on my face.

I don't like Radiohead that much, always found them extremely overrated.

But I love this idea of being able to name your price on the download, paying what you wish to pay for music, and them using this as promotion for the discbox. It's a great business model for music. I hope they are successful and I hope other artists see it and get the same idea to leave their record labels and try the same thing. This is a great way for music to be distributed.

Had it been a band I really enjoy, I'd be willing to pay for the downloads, but since I'm not a fan of Radiohead, I'll get the new album for free. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and they'll have a new fan.

Yay, I love IN RAINBOWS! It's like their last album but less angry. Good stuff!! Now, it's not as catchy as some of their earlier work but it's still good listening.

It's a pretty good album. Not something I'd run out and buy, but it was worth the download.
