I don't know what you guys are on about, the cover art is fantastic and hopefully indicates what the album is like.

It looks Animal Collective to me. Sort of an In Rainbows version of MPP with Thom Yorke on vocals?

It's Dave Eggers' quarterly literary magazine based in San Francisco. It has the pretty cool idea of changing format with each issue. I love the newspaper one, you can still track it down on line.

Nice! I was aware it was some sort of magazine but was impressed at seeing the newspaper format. A shame it's not a real, monthly or quarterly newspaper thing.
― Moka, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 12:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I think it's highly unlikely to be a traditional newspaper in the form of most of those album covers though, especially given what we already know about the cover. It might refer to lyrical content as well.
i think it might just mean "suitable for lining the cat's litterbox with"

eight tracks? is this confirmed? also is that You Tube tracklist real?
some lols here from Vice. not my favourite magazine in the world has to be said but.. http://www.viceland.com/music/2011/02/new-radiohead-album-the-first-review/

Youtube tracklist is fan made.

I like the way Vice has two intros on their made up review. That's something that ruined HTTT and In Rainbows for me is the awkward sequencing where the first two songs sound like first tracks.
― dentarthurdent (dog latin), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 13:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, 2+2=5 and Sit Down Stand Up are both good tunes, but fairly similar structurally.

Xpost if radiohead got together with McSweeneys to do something together I would pay more than £30 for it. I spend enough on them separately as it is.

The amount of not so subtle changes in the cover's type is leading me to believe this might not be the actual cover... maybe it's more like a teaser of the final product.

Why are Radiohead so fucking shit at album covers? They're supposed to be a fairly arty band with a lot of aestheticism going on, so why does every cover look like some sort of messy collage project made by children with learning difficulties? I mean, the only one that's vaguely iconic is The Bends - and even that's complete shit.
― dentarthurdent (dog latin), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Stanley Donwood has made the album covers all the way back the bends, fwiw, although Thom collaborates on it with him, I think.

This cover will get worse every time it is saved in a lossy compression format. Radiohead sucks.

I like the cover of Amnesiac, the simple but bold colour scheme works well. OK Computer has a very nothingy cover, I think.

XP: A man who takes on all the kids on his estate for letting down the tyres on his car just to get stabbed for his troubles is simple but bold. The cover of OK Computer fits the themes of the album perfectly.
