Anyone else grab the new Radiohead album? Been through it a few times so far and really diggin it. Arpeggi is slowly climbin my list of fave RH tracks.

anywhere i can try before buying aint heard any of it at all ;(

MoP · Oct 2007

You can buy it for free.

Reviews so far suggest it's very similar to their last few albums, which I wasn't a huge fan of. They have a couple of decent tracks I enjoy, but generally I find it quite boring to listen to. Decent background music I guess. I much prefer their older stuff though.

hrmm, I'd say it's more like OK Computer and the Kid A/Amnesiac Era Radiohead thrown together in a blender. It's not heavy on electronics, and strings are everywhere. Arpeggi, Reckoner, and Videotape are owning me ATM.

On first listen-through I'm impressed. It seems very lean, like they've played the hell out these songs already in concert and have worked very hard on getting a quality album cut of these songs. A studio "Nude" has been attempted roughly a billion times unsuccessfully before (a song they've played live for roughly 10 years), so it's awesome that it's finally on an album.
I'm definitely putting it back on for the rest of the work day. Short, lean, and mean is something more modern albums could stand to be.

I need to get it, perhaps.
So I assume everyone's heard about the new distribution system?

coldwolf · Oct 2007

I'm interested in content distribution methods, so while I'm not the biggest Radiohead fan... how are they distributing it differently?

Foehammer · Oct 2007

LOVE this album! Nude is awesome, probably my favorite track.

Coldwolf: Radiohead has ditched their record label and put their new album up on their website for sale, but you name the price you want to pay for it and then download it, very cool way of doing it.

Jeff Parrott · Oct 2007

It's really good so far.

Flynny · Oct 2007

haha I just love the fact that Radiohead havent had a record label for quite some time, and this pretty much prooves that if your good enough, you dont bloody need to adhere to crappy shareholder controlled companies

Good on em!

SkullboX · Oct 2007

It sounds awesome so far after a couple of times listening.

SkullboX · Oct 2007

...and their weird distribution stategy is already a huge succes: http://www.gigwise.com/news/37670/exclusive-radiohead-sell-12million-copies-of-in-rainbows

How cool is that!

Wells · Oct 2007

I gave them my money.

is good stuffs.

Neo_God · Oct 2007

It's enjoyable, I prefer the more mellow tracks though. But that may be because I'm in the mood to listen to Mellow music right now.

Snowfly · Oct 2007

I'm enjoying every track :-)

Wells · Oct 2007

Yes, yes, it's good stuff... but did you pay? That is the real question

Justin Meisse · Oct 2007

The site was super lagtastic until today, I paid $14US I'm on track 2 and luvin it

Neo_God · Oct 2007

Haha, no I didn't pay, here was some new music free of charge and guilt.

My money is spent on better things, such as rent, food, and art supplies for school.

In Rainbows anyone?
