^ this thing's getting uglier by the minute

Looks like it's on XL in the UK btw

That's virtually unreadable.

The last one was on XL.

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.

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"

oh SHIT! Somebody gonna need some aloe for that BURN
Get off the bus - you just got TAKEN TO SCHOOOOOL

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.

Stanley Donwood has made the album covers all the way back the bends, fwiw, although Thom collaborates on it with him, I think.

the best part about mp3s is never having to look at album covers

p.sure donwood had an exhibition last year consisting of mock newspapers covered in dripping paint w/ drawings of creatures attacking each other

xps I don't think Radiohead has been trying for iconic.

The OK Computer cover is great.

at leas 'the bends' is an image... 'amnesiac' has to take the cake as the worst

lol @ 344 post about the cover art!
never change ilm

the archive format conversation was better

otm

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

huh?

conflating the two burning issues in this thread

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

i think the Kid A cover is great. the rest are all whatever, though HTTT's is fun to look at, at first

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.

new album cover reminds me of this cover. but this cover is good.

Hopefully the new album doesn't jam

that phish album is way more off-kilter pop than jam

$60bucks?!?!?!?

What's $60? I thought it was 48

The OK Computer cover is great.

it's good (and the art for album that revered usually ends up 'iconic'). Kid A's and Amnesiac's alright. In Rainbows cover sucked. colours and text on this new one really ruin it for me.

sometimes think bands like this should just have a nice (even if 'ironic') photo of them on the cover and stop fronting.

that phish album is way more off-kilter pop than jam

otm, and because of that one of their best

They remind me of some Miyazaki monster:

I ask for a truce with the Phish comparisons until the actual album gets released.

oh man was the HTTT cover fun in high school. i think i drew my own versions of it even. with my own oblique vaguely dystopian buzzwords.

i like this cover a lot actually but i kind of think of radiohead as a joke about radiohead now.

oh man was the HTTT cover fun in high school.

Boy, I know turning forty in a couple of weeks will be a little weird for me, I just didn't realize HOW weird.

Even I was out of high school by the time HTTT came out. D:

Radiohead formed 26 years ago! Christ.

Give it seven more years and they'll be older than Jesus.

STOP

The members of Mumford and Sons were being born when Radiohead formed...

Already having a hard enough time dealing with the fact that Richard D James is 40 this year xp

Ha you're old. Oh wait. *coughs, leans on cane*

Give it seven more years and they'll be older than Jesus.

thom seems like the kinda guy who'll have a kierkegaardian crisis when this happens.

if it helps, i was an upperclassman.

Fear and Trundling

Either/Or Sliding Doors

I was in my freaking third tertiary course when HTTT came out. Now I wear slippers and have my hair set on Mondays.
