This is a great idea. I wouldn't buy a Radiohead CD these days, but I'll throw in a couple of bucks for a download just to see what it's about.

Guys, the phys stuff doesn't begin shipping until December, by which point I'm sure they will have announced plans for alternative phys purchasing options.
Also, for us US-types, it's important to note that the $80 is also covering international shipping.

this is not my legal birth name. I am an artist. I passingly said I was selling cds for 1000 dollars as a joke. someone made a big thing about it, put up a false interview..and made it look real. I was never selling cd's for 1000. they spread these lies all over the net and someone put an article in the San Fransico Weekly and another newspaper in Cleveland ..Sf Weekly is owned by News Times. They put a false newspaper article about my 1000 dollar cd..when I am selling my cd's for 20 dollars.

Oh wow, a free download! (I am credit card-less, and they really don't need the money...)
I would eventually buy a real-life, NOT-40 pounds, one-format version in stores though. I wonder who will release it?

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 (sixteen years ago) link
umm, I'd say record no.1 = cd1 record no.2 = cd2
― W4LTER, Monday, 1 October 2007 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 ...

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 always kinda chuckle to myself at the “ughhh” that starts this track. Like Yorke is about to lead it into a James Brown funk number.
Hate to spoil it for you, but that sounds like a bass slide to me - same effect though!
― ...eh you get the gist of it (dog latin), Thursday, 4 January 2024 13:17 (two months ago) link
Favourite on In Rainbows is easily "Nude" for me; that extended final section with the layered voices is so startling and satisfying
Weird Fishes has been covered by a remarkable amount of people in recent times, it's almost become a standard
― ...eh you get the gist of it (dog latin), Thursday, 4 January 2024 13:19 (two months ago) link
Call me a basic, but nothing will beat There There as their best track despite it being on a bit of a hodgypodgy album

― na (NA), Thursday, 4 January 2024 15:23 (two months ago) link
I really enjoyed the recent run of the Dissect podcast that goes through IR track by track. Not so much the lyrical analysis or the breathless ruminations on the human condition, but the musical analysis w/the isolated stems really did make me appreciate a ton of stuff that I either hadn't noticed before or had always wondered about.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Thursday, 4 January 2024 15:32 (two months ago) link
A feature of Radiohead’s thing is “weak B-sections”, like so many of their songs begin with the best assemblage of sounds you’ve ever heard, and then suddenly change into something that is an ineffective pay-off— I consider this more of a feature than a bug
“Everything…” and “Weird Fishes” both have this going on
But then there are songs that are just payoff after payoff… “Paranoid Android” will prob always be their best song imo, despite the dated lyrics, just because of how ambitious its structure is and effortless its execution
But my favourite Radiohead is always krautrock Radiohead (my favourite mode of any band is their krautrock mode!)

man that's a fast version of weird fishes xxp
into it
i'd agree here, the, well... arpeggiated bits of this song are some of my favorite music ever but the last third feels slight. still cool sounds going on throughout of course

Interesting, I do forget about most of the B/C sections and codas on this record, so it's a nice surprise when they hit and the strings/Ondes Martenot come in.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Thursday, 4 January 2024 17:59 (two months ago) link
the bridge/b-section/whatever of "bodysnatchers" (has the light gone out for you/cuz the light's gone out for me/it's the 21st century/etc) makes the song
― na (NA), Thursday, 4 January 2024 18:01 (two months ago) link
Weird Fishes in particular has a very cool harmony/melody decision that I should one day sit down and figure out, it’s subtle not-complicated but very effective. Great song

I’m just thinking in rainbows, but some of its B sections are the best to my taste. Jigsaw callings climax, body snatchers comedown and build, Reckoners separating on a blank shore (etc., really for every track except weird fishes and Nude) are all my favourite parts. Everything in its right place does not have a lacking part to it at all.

i have no complaints about the b & c sections of "weird fishes", they're both wonderful, especially the c section - that driving bass line! the disintegrating guitars! the background drones!
