YESSSSSSSSSSS
By the way, it looks like the download only includes the songs from the first disc.
Being the sucker I am, I will pay for all the special edition nonsense so that I do not kick myself later.

the first disc is the album, the second disc is bonus tracks, is the impression i get from the site

So, will the vinyl be just the first group of songs, the songs on CD1? Or will the vinyl have all the songs from CD1 and 2? On the website the photo of the vinyl looks like it's just the first group of songs.
― Z S, Monday, 1 October 2007 00:47 (5 years ago) Permalink
umm, I'd say record no.1 = cd1 record no.2 = cd2
― W4LTER, Monday, 1 October 2007 00:49 (5 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, with only 10 songs on the actual album I find it hard to believe they'd need two slabs of vinyl. Unless they're going really prog this time.

So, I guess they're releasing this themselves. This is really, really cool, and has made my night.

this is pretty awesome. they sure did take their damn time, though. can't decide whether to take the $80 plunge - someone upthread said it - may as well take it so i'm not kicking myself later. i'd be bummmed though if it's not a great collection of songs.
― Mark Clemente, Monday, 1 October 2007 01:39 (5 years ago) Permalink
wow. wow. wow.
i like the whole notion of a 10-day window. it's like the polar opposite of kanye/50, let alone detox/cuban link II...10 days is enough to get the word out to virtually everyone who cares, but not enough time to build up unrealistic expectations. and no leaks? radiohead are geniuses.
i admit i'm choosing the, uh, least expensive option. as i can't afford $81, i'll buy the proper lp or cd version once it's out.
― mike a, Monday, 1 October 2007 02:04 (5 years ago) Permalink
Ouch - expensive - Good for them for working outside the established industry - geez I hope they worked hard and it ends up being a great listen - the concert boots with new songs sound great - so I'm all for it ...
― BlackIronPrison, Monday, 1 October 2007 03:07 (5 years ago) Permalink
I will now make a prediction:
After a flurry of observations regarding new elements never before heard, this will sound like a Radiohead record.

i am a radiohead fan, & have visited the site, & i am looking forward to this album, but i do not understand what any of you are saying. can any of you explain what is going on to me as you might to a 12 year old brother in law (ie a 12 year old but one whom you had respect for or at least feared the potential consequences of upsetting or misleading).

Hey there sport! That stupid weird band I seem to like so much? They're releasing some new media files (that we used to call "albums" back in the day) in 10 days! And they didn't start hyping it 8 months ago, which is typically the case, in order for rockstars to swim in their pools made of gold. And We The Fans can decide how much we want to pay for those files, because it's the 21st century and Anarchy's en vogue. So I opted not to pay, because I know I'll be a sucker for the eventual release of said files pressed to disc and smothered in artwork. Now lets forget about this nonsense and get back to Brett Favre. xpost

this is great. they came up with the best way i've seen to date for beating the leaks and avoiding fans from just downloading the album. this way its pretty much a donation type deal. they certainly know their audience. i would have supported them and bought a new album but i feel like the majority wouldnt.
wish the free one was 18 tracks though.
― gman, Monday, 1 October 2007 07:05 (5 years ago) Permalink
they need some incentive to sell the 'discbox' besides vinyl and digital photos that'll be on the internet the day the thing is sent out anyway.

Always interesting even though they haven't been close to their artistic potential since "OK Computer".

t/s paying a cent for a new radiohead album because it's not worth any more

just not bothering, and that being my comment.

The earth opens up and swallows everyone who opted not to pay for their download. "It's up to you" ..!? Radiohead are obviously testing our moral character here.

As someone mentioned on another board, I could totally see Radiohead sending out tickets for some special tour to those that bought the discbox while giving two fingers to the $0.00 downloaders.

Have they got a song called Numb? I can't think of one but it's like the most Radiohead-y one-word songtitle ever.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 3 January 2013 17:09 (4 months ago) Permalink
Don't know about Radiohead but Portishead have a song called "Numb" (the one with the duck noises in the beginning on "Dummy") and it fits also very well as one word song title of the band.
― alex in mainhattan, Thursday, 3 January 2013 18:04 (4 months ago) Permalink
Nude was my initial instant favourite on the album and I think the spacey arrangement is lovely - probably helps that I'm not a mega-obsessive fan and had no awareness of previous versions of the song. Reckoner and Weird Fishes have taken the lead in my affections in the years since IR was released.

The "Live From The Basement" versions are even better, adding a missing human element.
