ok, but what they have done could revolutionise the way albums are marketed and released. the download is in 10days and you can pay as much or as little for it as you want. the 'discbox' costs 40quid but you get it on cd, vinyl and download!

also ive heard a lot of the new stuff live and it's flipping quality!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yawn. Radiohead, so 1997.....

So says Captain Snow Patrol!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yep, that's me. At least Snow Patrol won't release an album of broken drum machines, Yorke's warblings about "ooh, how so political he is" and pass it off as "music".

I'd rather listen to Boyzone than any of Radiohead's post 1997 output. @RSES!

I'd think more of them if they did!
Anyway, that's why music (as football) is a wonderful interest to have, nobody is going to agree on the pros & cons of different things all of the time!

my thread isn't really about radiohead's music, but im struggling to think of any other band that has released such a high-profile album in this way. it's completely independent and so blatently isn't about the money (yes £40quid for the discbox is a lot, but you get 2CD's, 2xVinyl, digital version and some nifty artwork so it's a bargin IMO)

Surely they were hugely political before 1997 too though. I prefer the earlier albums but Knives Out is one of my favourite Radiohead songs.

 

[Pubey]

i think HTTT was poor (but more let down by poor (over)production as the songs played live are excellent). i think KidA/Amnesiac are terrific albums but the pure alt-rock of The Bends and the space-prog-rock of OK Computer just does it for me like no other band i know. having heard a lot of the new stuff live I am really really really excited about this, people hoping for a move back to the OKC/bends era with guitars and anthems will be really pleasantly surprised I reckon.

 

[Pubey]

oh and also Radiohead's b-sides and rare songs are also brilliant (only they could have a song like Talk Show Host not even on an album)... so it's good that Nude and Up A Ladder have been recorded and released
