$15 for .wav files is such bs.
Yeah that seems pretty expensive considering the mp3s are only $9; does it really cost $6 more in bandwidth to transfer? Come on man

uncompressed wavs are admittedly pretty giant

Wikipedia says the average price paid for In Rainbows was £4 (based on a survey of 3,000), and I was sure I saw somewhere else that the average was $5... Regardless, it seems inaccurate to assume they came up with those prices from In Rainbows data

just looking at the files for one song on my record here - the 320kpbs mp3 version is 10.8 mb, and the wav version is 47.9 mb

They're finally releasing "Follow Me Around" in some form? Interesting...

This site says the avg. for those who paid was $6, but only 38% of people paid anything.

Whether or not this is any good at all, or overpriced or not, the one definitely fantastic thing about it is that it's released on a Saturday.
Although UK music releases are now all on a Monday and have been for ages - SOME OF US CAN REMEMBER when new records were released on a Friday.
If I recall correctly (although I do so increasingly infrequently).
But there was, then, the added excitement of getting a new record just in time for the weekend.
And Monday is far too far from the weekend, and from the first opportunity for many people to get a decent chance to listen to new stuff.
There are 6 other days of the week - at least - that would be better than Monday for music being released.
Saturday is, undoubtedly, one of these other days that is not a Monday.

Supposedly it's 8 tracks long.

Be nice to hear Follow Me Around after years of crappy live versions and a cobbled together version from Meeting People is Easy.

a radiohead album full of 8-minute songs runs a very high risk of being my album of the year, and I'm not ashamed to say that
― acoleuthic, Monday, 14 February 2011 20:25 (thirteen years ago) link
I was about to say...there could a few 5-minute plus-ers
― Davek (davek_00), Monday, 14 February 2011 20:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Longer Radiohead songs could potentially fall into two categories: an extension of the song suite multi-part epic ala Paranoid Android, or a more Krautrock derived gradual build or trance.
Gah I'm fumbling around in the dark here..

this only further increases my suspiscion that it is a song-by-song reinterpretation of Rush's Grace Under Pressure

dude grace is an underrated rush jawn, i'm thinking about this

I don't know where you guys are hearing about Follow Me Around..

Well it's more than likely going to be the same song right?

the way it says 8 tracks FROM makes it sound like its a sampler. pretty sure they wouldnt do that though.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Monday, 14 February 2011 21:18 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm getting the mp3 version, but if this were true, I'd definitely shell out the $50 for the vinyl version. Hopefully Radiohead is at least reading this thread and getting some awesome ideas for their next LP.

FWIW, here's the digital fulfillment company Radiohead is working with: http://sandbag.uk.com/
Placed my order for the 320 version. I'm through with physical objects.

Cause yeah, more Radiohead songs need to sound like that.
― MarkoP, Monday, 14 February 2011 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Pre-ordered. And I have to say, 36 euros including p&p seems like a really good deal. Esp. considering p&p would come to what, 10 euros at least for what seams a heavy box.
A 4 tracks/sides album would be sublime, but I'll sign for a mere 8!

went to the record store recently and the guy was selling a seven inch with die cut boloney in a zip lock bag packaged with it. They hadn't sold in his online store fast enough so when I asked about what was in the bag he threw them all out.
― bamcquern, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 00:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, it was several copies of the seven inch all with aging boloney.
― bamcquern, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 00:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Kinda surprised it's only eight tracks, as their records are generally quite uniform as being 10-12 3 to 5 min. tracks (with the exceptions of "Paranoid Android" and Hail to the Thief being 14 tracks). Makes m wonder if they've got more material on the way, esp. since they've been working on this stuff for ages. Pretty stoked that we have no idea whatsoever what to expect.

Or a bonus disc as with In Rainbows. Anyway, we'll all find out soon enough.

Think they would have mentioned a bonus disc? I think they mentioned the In Rainbows one.
