Radiohead: "We are making a new album"

This news is nice to hear, it's from the NME:

As Thom Yorke plays his first full solo shows in LA, Ed O'Brien reveals it won't be long before his main band starts recording again...
Forget the rumours, we can confirm there will be another Radiohead album, and that's according to... the band themselves.
Following online comments from frontman Thom Yorke back in August it looked like they band were giving up the 'traditional' release format. However, Ed O'Brien has confirmed that they are not only interested in recording more albums, they are actually making one right now.
The guitarist told NME that with sessions planned this winter the band would "definitely" be releasing a full album physically next year.
"We were misquoted," claimed O'Brien of Yorke's comments, loudly adding, "WE WILL BE MAKING AN ALBUM!" Although he said the band hadn't decided how it would be released, he said the album would come out on vinyl and CD whether it first arrived as a download or not.
"We love the artwork; that's really important, the physicality," he explained. "And we all like vinyl. That's not going to go away. I still like CDs as well. I got the Speech Debelle CD the other day - I nearly downloaded it from iTunes but I thought, 'No. I want the physical thing.'"
O'Brien wouldn't be drawn on specific tracks, but suggested that recent free download 'These Are My Twisted Words' was not a marker for the album.
"It's a kind of one-off," he said of the song. "It could have been a darker side of 'In Rainbows' - it's got that autumnal vibe, we're leaving the summer and going into the darkness."
He added that with Radiohead set to reconvene in their Oxfordshire studio this winter, the season might similarly affect the new songs. "Typical Radiohead," he laughed. "We're going into the studio in winter. It's always miserable! Are we at the whim of the seasons? We are! When you're in a studio in the countryside, the music you make is definitely affected by what season it is."
Before Radiohead can hit record, though, they are pausing to allow Thom Yorke to play his first solo gigs with a full band. Currently in Los Angeles, the singer has coaxed producer Nigel Godrich to join him onstage in his currently unnamed group, while his choice of bassist - Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea - has turned a few heads. Though perhaps most famous for wearing a sock on his cock, Flea has quietly established himself as the bassist for hire since his funk-rock outfit went on hiatus two years ago. He has recorded with Damon Albarn and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, has previously collaborated with Metallica, Jane's Addiction, Patti Smith and The Mars Volta and was asked to take part in both the PiL and Faces reunions, making him a good fit for Yorke.
For a full report on the singer's first show at Los Angeles' Echoplex (Oct 2) and his gigs at the city's Orpheum Theatre (Oct 4-5), which saw him play 'The Eraser' and several new songs, head to nme.com.

Thom's new EP has given me a real taste to listen to their stuff of recent, although that been said I think they are one of my top 3 fav bands anyway, U2's place is slipping more and more for me now. I can't see them blowing me away Achtung style again whereas Oxford's finest just continue to impress more and more.
In Rainbows was awesome and if These are My Twisted words and Thom's new EP are an example of their creative impulses then the new album should be worth wait.
I still can see Radiohead topping OK Computer for me at least, a feat but their talent and power to move me in incredible ways has never diluted. What I witnessed of their Reading show on TV was incredible.

I know a lot of people loved In Rainbows, but I thought it was terrible. Boring, disjointed - it was if they were trying to be someone else. I want the guitars turned back up and Thom to be pissed off about something, anything. That's when Radiohead are (or were) at their best.
i wish they'd turn up their guitars, too, though i still loved in rainbows., but i'd love to hear something like paranoid android, electioneering.....again

Hey cool, someone agrees with me. Not sure Thom needs to be pissed off (he's pretty much always pissed off and griping about something), but they do seem to have lost the plot a little bit. Leave the laptops at home and pick up a few guitars on the way to the studio, boys.
I find it's hard to complain against an album when every song on it is very good.
Word. In Rainbows was the best fucking thing they've done since OK Computer. I'd be hard pressed to complain if they keep putting out albums of that quality. I'd like to hear some more stuff tho as loud as Bodysnatchers myself too though.

Radiohead's very much a fall/winter band, though. The only song on In Rainbows that I consider "summery" is "House of Cards," because it kind of has a dub feel to it.
qft
youre insane. :P
personally for me all radiohead albums are so close to each other in consistent excellence(except PH which was the album on which they had no clue who they were

How dare you!
It's certainly not through lack of trying with In Rainbows. And Hail To The Thief for that matter. They used to be my favourite band but I think slight obssession to constantly re-invent themselves went a little too far.
Bodysnatchers and Jigsaw Falling Into Place are good tracks, but the rest are too much of what I hated about Hail To The Thief.
The Bends
Ok Computer
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail To The Thief
In Rainbows
Pablo Honey
it all comes down to personal taste.
for me pablo honey is their weakest album cause theyre not quite sure who they are on that one.

i wonder what new ways/ideas they will come up with to release this album! THAT is almost as exciting as the new album announcement. it almost seems they made a buzz by saying no new recording only a month or 2 ago and now that this is announced, there is a collective sigh of relief and interest
download and hard copy i imagine. no new ways.

pfftt BORING!
Sure it will be hard copy/DL, but there are so many ways it can be implemented!
Easter Egg hunts
a game like NIN had for Year Zero
Release a track every week for 10 weeks
signed copies, ltd edition prints
the possibilities are exciting and endless=p final products are great, but sometimes the journey to get the final product can be just as satisfying~
Hey...I like Amnesiac :oops: lol
I'm not a well seasoned Radiohead fan but, I personally think The Bends is their best...just me though.

Oh easily, how anyone could think Amnesiac is worse than Pablo Honey is beyond, personal taste it maybe but anyone trying to defend their debut and say later albums are worse are quite frankly insane.
Pablo Honey in comparison to their other output however pretentious some might think they've got is complete shite!
no no muse are pretentious. in comparison radiohead are positively staid.
pablo honey ia like ooh ooh who do we want to sound like.. tis the 90s come on johnny.. colin.. who do you reckon.. ???.. aah jeez thom i dunno... everyone????

i don't think Pablo Honey is better than any of their other albums but i don't think it's pure shite, either. the problem is comparing it to Radiohead's other albums, if it were just another band it would be a decent album

It would just be another album though and Radiohead albums are something else, well they are to me. Pablo Honey apart from maybe Creep and every track on The Bends wipes it out, as I said before it was their Robert Johnson at the crossroads moment between those 2 albums, The Bends sounds astounding even now and in comparison to the rest of their back catalogue Pablo sounds extremely underwhelming, maybe shite was strong but it's nothing special.
Just coming to the end of Kid A as I type, planning on slapping Amnesiac on now.
