he was obviously asking about the freaking album man!!! he was asking about the download only version of the album... i thought that was clearly obvious
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.
radiohead is the only band other than pearl jam that can get me this excited over a new studio album. The discbox is going to be well worth the £40 charge on the ol debit card. (Had to get out a currency converter for that one too).

ok now, what does the album sound like? do they play guitar anymore?
I think you will be pleased man. There's a lot of guitar in the live versions of the songs, and he piano driven songs aren't Kid A piano-ish but really beautifully arranged. I'm thinking this could be a pretty mellow album for Radiohead.
While I agree that RH runs the risk of people choosing to pay $0.00 for the cd, however, if too many people take advantage of the bands generosity, it may deter RH from doing the same thing next time.
I'm pretty sure they won't get poor off of the download... I mean, look at the boxset price... people will pay for that, hell, I'm thinking of getting it for my brother for Christmas... that'd be a pretty rad gift.
Also... the tours are where the money's at... and they know they will have sold out shows, haha.

15 Step = electronic beats w/ classic-RH-style finger-picked guitars
Bodysnatchers = a very dark rocker w/ lots of guitar
Nude = a very pretty song with strings
Arpeggi = hypnotic song with arpeggiated gutiar parts (hence the title)
All I Need = slow song with chiming keyboards and intense finale
Reckoner = heavy rocker with a mean guitar riff
House Of Cards = mellow guitar-based song with a steady beat
Jigsaw Falling Into Place = guitar-based rocker with eerie synth lines a'la National Anthem
Videotape = gorgeous & hypnotic piano-based tune a'la Pyramid Song
Most of the songs are guitar-based. The only song that would qualify as "electronic" is "15 Step" and even that has some guitars.
Nobody knows what "Faust Arp" is or what it sounds like.
i'm glad its back to some more guitary stuff for them... i love some of the tunes from the last album.. esp 2+2=5..

are you basing this off live versions you've heard? cos i understand even the amnesiac material is listenable when they play it live they seem to get their jollies making good songs sound like shit on albums. maybe they do it on purpose so that people who go to the show are all the more impressed

Um...with the exception of "Like Spinning Plates," everything off Amnesiac played live was exactly how it was on the album.
I don't know. Ask them. I'm just telling you the facts.
i may have just outgrown them. i'm listening to the rollingstone preview and i realized part of the problem is i can't stand thom's vocals. i've heard sigur ros songs with more distinct lyrics... and they make up their damn words!

Hail To The Thief came out awesome, just like the live versions they played before the album came out. I'm sure this album will be the same. Besides, they posted 10 second samples of a couple songs and they sounded pretty much like the live versions.

i went through the rolling stone preview. i'll give it a shot. it sounds better than hail to the thief did... got better dynamics and more distinct and memorable songs.

it sounded alright. i wasn't listening to any of them very closely becos i didn't want to spoil the album. it sounded pretty good, though i don't think i caught the end. i like radiohead best when they are rocking or jamming out... like the end of paranoid android or fake plastic trees. i'm not so keen on low key radiohead, though i got a sense videotape was building to that. i'll post my review on tues or something

Pigs get fat, but hogs get slaughtered!
i freakin pumped for this, it's gonna be a nice wee surprise come xmas!!
See These Bones
fuck me... how the hell many dollars are in a pound?
It's around 2 dollars to 1 pound. I paid a pound, plus the 45 pence internet charge, and the total on my credit card was $2.96.
I'll probably wind up buying the CD when it comes out, but there was no way my wife was gonna give me a pass to shell out $80 for the discbox.
Also... the tours are where the money's at... and they know they will have sold out shows, haha.

here's a pretty cool page by rollingstone that previews each song on the new album, including the bonus cd that comes with the discbox.

then how come every time i say amnesiac sucks people tell me to listen to live versions of the songs?
