New Radiohead Album

[CC_Eagle]

Where...!?

I haven't been sent an email and the site hasn't changed!?

 

[CC_Eagle]

Oh..

THERE'S the email...

Curse you sh*tty ADSL.

Gonna pay $16.99 for it- the normal iTunes price. Except this time I know every cent goes to the artist.

Fairly brilliant, but could have been better. The bootleg versions of Videotape and Weird Fishes/Arpeggi did so much more for me, and I definitely prefer the older version of Nude that used the Organ.

But other than that small complaint, I'm truly impressed with the final product.

 

[miniHINDY]

All valid points, but Arpeggi is pretty good on record imho

 

[CC_Eagle]

Wow..

Only halfway through Arpeggi now.

And just..

Wow..


I've deliberately avoided all Radiohead bootleg copies of the new tracks, it'd be nice to finally hear them.

I paid ten pound, knowing that all the money is going back to the artist is one of the greatest music retail therapies one could experience.

It is pretty f***ing fantastic. LOVE 15 Steps, All I Need and Reckoner. A bit disappointed in Videotape. The only track that didn't hold my interest was House of Cards but I really need a few more listens.

Love it.

The Bonnarroo version of Videotape is a lot better, but it's still the best track on the album, and maybe their best song ever.

imo of course

Guys I'm about to listen to Videotape for the first time, i'll be after blood if it doesn't blow my f*cking brain out...

Loving the album though, the whole vibe of it is just so different to any of its predecessors, but who expected any less?

Arpeggi is one that sticks out so far, I didn't mind House Of Cards.

I'm actually looking forward to the b*stard 2 hour commute tomorrow.

I'm regretting listening to the bootlegs now that I'm listening to the real thing, simply because I'd have liked to hear the album clean for the first time, but the wait for it to come out was too much and I couldn't resist... I've never anticipated an album as much as this one before.

Won't have a real idea of what I think until I've heard it a few times (like all Radiohead albums, they take a few listenings) but it sounds as good as I expected.

Loving Arpeggi.

:lol: Agree with you 100%. I would have much preferred to have listened without prejudice for the first time, but it'd been so long since their last release that I just couldn't help myself.

That said, there were still a few surprises in there. Reckoner turned out very different than expected and is probably my favourite so far, while Faust Arp was a completely foreign, yet enjoyable, track.

 

[CC_Eagle]

This is why I avoided them...;-)

I'd love to listen to it but the site to download it from is pathetic, slow, crashes and won't just take me to the part to download it.

Yeah, that's what I did for same reasons, but with the UK equivalent prices (8 pound).

Quite impressed on first listen. I'd avoided bootlegs so had no expectations. As usual with their albums I expect all of these songs will grow on me at different a different pace, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of joy out of this over quite a long period of time.

Hope the site works better for you sali, mine was fine 48MB, but was probably through a european mirror type arrangement, not sure what they've done for kiwiland?

 

[ledzep]

so awesome
the only slight disappointment is videotape, preferred the live arrangement
can't wait for the discbox to arrive with cd2

 

[Samwise]

Just bought it and listening to it now. Happy with it so far.

 

[julian87]

It's awesome!

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Hey question for you peeps who got the download, what format are the tracks in? Good 'ol mp3? And whats the bitrate?

 

[Samwise]

160kbps MP3 format.

Sweet, will purchase now.... just didn't want to pony up the dosh for non-iPod freindly WMA files.
