REally well !! new to this message board!

radiohead's new one is out.

there's nothing better than the very first listen through an album that you've been waiting for since the beginning of time.

i feel like this

i saw that with this new album, them radioheads are experimenting with a very novel music delivery model, and have surely put the cat amongst the pigeons with this business of exclusively offering their album as a download from their website (nice colours!) on a "pay/donate as much/little as you feel it's worth" basis.

what's it like? are there lots of good new noises+beats the like of which humans have never heard before? that's what we expect of them, no?

it's not as innovative as their previous releases. it's self-referential at best and derivative at worst throughout the album. "bodysnatchers" is a dead ringer for "palo alto" off of the "airbag/how am i driving" EP. still, they manage to make even the derivative pieces sound fresh and new. it's a very good album but it probably won't reveal new musical worlds like, say, "kid a" did.

the distribution concept is interesting but i really feel there were some crucial details they should have released ahead of time. for example, the bitrate is low (160) compared to what most people would rip a CD at. then again, they pulled from the source material so for 160s they sound damn clean.

additionally, no album art. i didn't expect my $15 to go towards massively compressed files with no artwork. if i'd known these details, i'd've paid less. fortunately the spouse already whipped up a quick bit of album art based on the album's website graphics. still, for $15, they should have delivered.

my bliss outweighs my annoyance, though.

thank you auntie, for your kind assistance in this matter. i'll have a wee think about all this.

if you can get your hands on one track just to wash it across your palette like a wine taster, i recommend "reckoner." if you like the sip, buy the bottle.

aye, blootered on radioheid!

made an unexpected theoretical breakthrough in my first chapter :)

Did you know that your image comes from the videoclip of Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada, approximately 30' after the beginning ?

i ε> that videoclip :)

yes, i know it to the very marrow of my bones. if i had a list of my top ten favorite things, the joseph kittinger jump would be on that list.

^^if I were stranded on a desert island and could only take one video clip...
