Radiohead - In Rainbows

Yes, and I imagine this has been said before but what I admire them most for is the whole thing "OKAY BLAM! HERE IT IS! YOU'VE GOT A MERE TEN DAYS!" you know??? Instant's notice, a Gemini's dream. Etc. No anticipation, nothing. Now or never.

in such a short time something like this has become so rare.

it has to be an instant notice thing like that because if not it would never work. it would find its way onto the internet.

downloading!

WAHT

IT BEGINS

does it suck yet?

OMG will someone please post this to the LOL Excelsior thread. For that just about sends me into all the LOL's I'm going to have tonight before I pass out.

WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS NOT A SURE THING! THIS ALBUM MAY SUCK ASS! IT COULD BE WORSE THAN AMNESIAC! (whoops didn't mean to start a war about this kind of thing, please carry on, quite sorry)

In the middle of listening to this.

Predictions:
People will say this sounds like HTTT pt. 2
Little "progression"
Not nearly as good as Kid A or OK Computer

Also I think some of the live versions from the 2006 tour were better.

Oh fuck, "All I Need" is amazing.

I need to review what I just said!!

ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i didn't pay but i ordered it minutes after the order page went up on the 1st, maybe they're rolling it out in batches to prevent the server from buckling

no alarms and no spoilers, please? lol

Someone upload this shit already so I can go to bed.

oh god, christ here we go. The positive hyperbole and the nasty put-downs. Where will it end?

5600 trillions posts by morning.

hahaha sorry, i'll shut up now.
no alarms and no spoilers 4 lyfe

Oh god!!! What if it's one of those albums where 50% of the people like it and 50% think it's crap?

THE HORROR!

YES. I have listened to the first three tracks of this, am extremely tired and really pleased with what I heard. Must sleep now.
Bodysnatchers is a little kraut-rock, no?

yeah i just ordered it today. comforting to think that maybe theyre just trying to be civil.

Oh goodness, I feel like one of those hopeless kids about to get a new Harry Potter. (Except in my case cries of, "It's like HTT/Amnesiac" is like hearing that "Harry gets AIDS on page 84 and spends the rest of the book conjuring a cure. He dies on the last page.")

ps I'm glad the internet didn't explode.

Amnesiacis their best album. And if Harry got AIDS and died that book would've been so much better.

you think yr contrarian but yr not

I'M BEIN SERIUS

3 tracks in and im loving it

Amnesiac? The best album they've ever done? Hey I'd even bump you The Bends on that one, mate. You are WRONG.

4 TRACKS IN THIS SHIT SUCKS I WANT A REFUND PLZ.

Amesiac has their best songs, so it's their best album. It's that simple.

yeah so i still havent gotten shit

Which song? I admit it's been awhile since I've heard it. I love certain songs on Kid A but part of me is one of those lamers that "wants them to start playing REAL MUSIC" (i.e. simple guitar rock). Though, as I listen to In Rainbows, it certainly "rocks" like one of their earlier albums.

lol already up on torrent sites

hahahaha I should have known this thread would progress this way.

At this rate ILM will stop with the message board atmosphere and will become more of chatroom by midnight pacific time tonight. (And with, yes, a/s/l questions being fielded in the Teen Pop thread)

oh fuck, it cut off at 30 mbs. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

Oh fuck, "All I Need" is amazing.

OTM
