i listened to it all last night and just kept thinking "man this is mixed so shitty... i can barely hear Thom's voice, it sounds echoey.." if thats a word... and i listened to it all.. i was gutted and thought it was shit...
so i stuck on something else to listen to, moved my leg and it touched the headphone cable and the sound came back properly... i hadnt put the bloody headphones in right!!!!
so, i went back and re-listened to In Rainbows... much much much better
yes, and WE are the morons for having our service industry based on tips
no. I go to the buy screens and its just black and says done
You can't get the discbox to stay in your basket?
This happened to me gimme a sec and i'll try figure it out for ya.
EDIT: Site must be busy at the mo, I tried to get on but it's timed out twice. Basically just play around with and you'll find a way. I think there might be a link in one of the threads...
Just listening to it now for the first time, I love this band and all their albums apart from Pablo have been quality.
Ok Computer is one of my fav albums of all time but I love the Bends and Kid A, Amnesiac and grew to love Hail but this album is sounding absolutely incredible on Weird Fishes and I haven't heard a dud yet.
Bodysnatchers is awesome, I think this the reward for sticking with these guys I am not at the end and this feels like the best album since OK.
Will report back when I've listened to it all through but to say I'm happy is an understatement can't wait to get the double black circle and give this a spin. I must a agree this does sound awesome through headphones.
I love the new one. It's Radiohead's most accessible release since "The Bends" yet it retains that trademark "trippy" quality that we all love. "In Rainbows" truly is a perfect blend of every thing Radiohead has done over the course of an astonishing career.
yes, and WE are the morons for having our service industry based on tips
hey i was thinking about this earlier... i noticed that a few of your compatriots have paid $0.00 for this new Radiohead album... cheap bastards
maybe they tipped their Internet provider though, you know, for the service they provide? ahhh who knows
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Won't take my eyes off the ball again

You can fight it like a dog
And they brought me to my knees
They got scared and they put me in
They got scared and they put me in
All the lies run around my face
All the lies run around my face
And for anyone else to see
And for anyone else to see
I'm alive
I've seen it coming

Don't get any big ideas
they're not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
and feel up with noise
but there'll be something missing
Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails
So don't get any big ideas
they're not going to happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your blather disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back and focus again
The walls abandon shape
You've got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatose
Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the noise
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
What's the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgun
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Before you run away from me
Before you start unravelling
Before you take my mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance
Jigsaws falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back

Not just twice

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.
I gave 1 English Pound for this and 40 for the Discbox.
I must say this album will have to grow on me. So far, I'm lumping this with Kid A and Amnesiac, it's kinda droning and unemotional. Hail to the Theif was a good album so I was hoping we'd get back to some earlier vibes. Bodysnatchers is good... as is Faust Arp. This band has 3 guitar players, I just wish they would all show up occasionally for old times sake.

You know if you bought the Disc Box, the download comes with that automatically, right?

I did the same thing except I gave more money for the download. To me the idea alone of letting the consumer dictate the price was worth $20USD, then when I got a full gander of the box set I had to get that too.
yep. too early to tell, but this may be my favorite record....and there's still 8 more tracks to come. The flow is just as good, if not better, than OK Computer.
I'm quite surprised by the overwhelming positive feedback this album has received thus far. Given I've only heard the studio versions of reckoner, house of cards , videotape - I'm not in the position to
formally judge this album. I definitely like what I've heard so far - very melodic with a glorious flow, but this is basically a little step up from the eraser as far as I'm concearned. Ok, so maybe I must give the other 7 songs a listen before judging.

Anybody here really notice a strong difference bewteen 160 kbps and a CD?
That whole thing is so fucking ridiculous. I do notice the difference between MP3 and CD, but to complain about 160 vs 320 is pretty stupid to me, they're both inferior. You can really tell the difference on a stereo. Which I is why I downloaded it to listen to now on my iPod and ordered the discbox to listen to it in its full widescreen glory when it's available.
It would be one thing if people thought they were ordering a CD and they sent an MP3 instead, but to complain about the bit rate of what's going to be an inferior version anyway is just goofy whining to me.
I agree with the opinions above. Just wondering if anyone on this board felt misled.
Personaly, I highly doubt this was a marketing scheme by Radiohead to rip people off and create more demand for the cd release.
I am fully satisfied with my download, would love to get mt hand on disk two when it comes out, but won't be forking over $81 for it.
Well I assume they will add bonus tracks for the actual CD. Either way I will probably buy the physical CD at some point just to have it.
But I don't hear the difference in quality. I think it sounds great.

People are just looking for something to bitch about. I think the tracks sound fine, definitely far better than a rough mix or demo (which is what all the complainers are making it sound like).
This is a mighty long thread and I haven't read all of it - just wanted to say that I'm glad no-one's asked me to write a review of this. I absolutely wouldn't know what to say. Been a Radiohead fan since before OK Computer, enjoy all their albums in different ways, have seen them several times live...this album is the strangest thing they've done. I honestly don't know what to say about it: it's slippery, mutable, I can't catch hold of it. One moment I feel it's beautiful, moving, a work of genius even, other times I'm suddenly bored for no reason. I cannot get a handle on it. Anyone else feel the same?
