OMG... you get to choose how much to pay for the album??

 

[FluxUs]

yeah but just rem the downloads are in 160kps watever which means not fantastic but ok audio quality...........so you're still encouraged to buy the album proper when it comes out in jan 08. if order discbox u get from dec this year.............

 

[Mobius]

I have all their albums..will be buying it when it eventually comes out in CD format next year. Currently Listening to the first 3 tracks.. sounds better than Hail to the thief.. They should do a world tour and hopefully come down to Singapore

Current Fav
bodysnatcher
weird fishes/arpeggi
house of cards
jigsaw falling into place

barely hear any guitar works..IMO more to Kid A but with a lil HTTT to spice things up..Can't wait to hear the bonus tracks on the discbox...should be great audio on the heavyweight vinyls...

Actually there's a lot more guitar work on this than ever before, just not like bends or pablohoney. They've put the electronic thing on the backseat. It's more like an extension of thom yorke's eraser, which unfortunately was a bit slack.

As for the vinyls... I believe most of us have no use for it! =(

i'm eagerly waiting for the vinyls...

 

[Mobius]

Listened to the whole album, its has more of a OK computer vibe (with less guitars) to me..which is great

 

[lppier]

Hmm.. downloaded it...
The tracks I like better are..

Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Reckoner
15 Step

But I think it's no OK Computer leh... still sounds experimental and electronic.

 

[Mobius]

It has the Lucky and Tourist (from OK Comp) kinda vibe

"In spite of Radiohead letting fans pay whatever they like for a CD download of their latest release 'In Rainbows', the Oxford-based band has made quite a mint off the album. While fans only paid about half of what new CDs cost in stores, Radiohead has made nearly $10 million dollars (about £4.8 million) in less than a week.


If what is happening is for real, a revolution in the way audiences receive their music may change the music industry forever. A poll made my Gigwise.com had a total of 3,000 participants saying on average they paid £4 for the album. Multiply that by the 1.2 million copies of the album now on fans' computers, and you get £4.8 million pounds!

Because Radiohead is no longer affiliated with a record label, the vast majority of the 'In Rainbows' profit will go to them, with minimal overheads. Compare this to selling it through an online store (iTunes, Snocap, etc), and they could only see as little as 25% of that profit."

Okay, I got the download (legally). It reminds me of OK Computer but I know it's actually quite different. Like Mobius said, less guitars. As for favourites: Nude, All I Need, Reckoner and Videotape. I love this album.
