cock out. Very tempted to get the newspaper edition even though I've no vinyl.
Radiohead are "a matter of weeks" away from completing their next studio release

New press shot.
Don't even like Radiohead.
It can't be as good as 'In Rainbows' can it? Or can it? Who knows. I love Radiohead. Maybe too much.
I thought In Rainbows was fecking shite.
In Rainbows was an absolutely brilliant album. The whole album just flew so seamlessly, everything was integrated perfectly and nothing seemed out of place. They're the best band I've ever listened to and I only hope they can keep it up.
Everything they made after OK Computer is trash.
Pretty much the whole musical world disagrees with you. Trash? What a load of bollocks.
Kid A and In Rainbows are stunning albums. Amnesiac is good, Hail to the Thief is poor by their standard.
The thing is that imo "In Rainbows" was "only" the album of the year which is a bit not up to Radiohead's standards. If there wasn't "Loveless" by MBV, "Ok Computer" and "Kid A" would top the lists of the decades.
In terms of pure quality of music, only The Beatles were better.

Preordered!
Preordered the MP3 version. Will download the wav one once it's out.

I think Radiohead are so overhyped it's not funny. Great first few albums, then they start to decline in quality; culiminating in the most overrated album of all time: In Rainbows.
In Rainbows is a great album.
Well nobody else does
If anything they're one of few bands who've actually kept their quality throughout the years. I don't think anything they do will ever top Ok Computer, then again I don't think anything and band do with top Ok Computer.

I rate Pablo Honey higher than OK Computer, but anyway let's just agree to disagree. I'm obviously not going to convince you, nor you me.
Sorry, you rate Pablo Honey higher than OK Computer? That's bizarre, even Radiohead themselves say Pablo Honey was pretty shite.
Hard to do this, but my order of Radiohead albums would be something like:
OK Computer
Kid A
In Rainbows
The Bends
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief
Pablo Honey
Though the top four could be in any order really.
I've been a massive Radiohead fan ever since I heard "Thinking About You" on a cassette tape stuck to the front of a music magazine around 1993. This led me to buying Pablo Honey and, like the rest of the world, was blown away by Creep.
I've bought everything they've done ever since and hunted high and low on the net for the unreleased and live versions of songs which, on some occasions, are even better than the studio releases.
I think the slight problem with Radiohead is that their music is so diverse, it seems impossible to me that someone can say that they "hate Radiohead" because that's like saying "I hate sandwiches".
By the same token, they have done stuff that I'm not too keen on - some of their more experimental electronic stuff does bugger all for me I'm afraid and some of their "heavier" manic metal type stuff works better live than sitting at home listening to a CD.
Possibly my favourite song is an obscure b-side called How I Made My Millions. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.
I'm looking forward to this new album immensely. And besides, I've been feeling wayyyy too happy of late - curb the highs - the secret to a happy life!

Jesus Christ the Radiohead love-in is sickening. They're feckin' wank.
i dont get it.
i actually dont understand how you cant like it.
how can you listen to the reckoner and not like it?
Why come into a thread about Radiohead then?
To tell you how sick you all make me.
What's your favourite band, Duckula?
Currently, Nine Inch Nails.
You think Nine Inch Nails have a body of work that is less "fecking wank" than Radiohead?
It's been eleven years since NIN released a proper good album. Since that time they have released four albums of varying quality with plenty of fillers. And I speak as a fan of that band Radiohead they're not.
I'm excited for this tomorrow. I've a feeling it'll be fecking class.
Radiohead are one of the greatest bands of all time, just below the highest pantheon of bands; The Beatles, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, The Stones, etc.

I would agree with many about the quality of In Rainbows. I'm one of those who don't really appreciate the album. But this song is quality:
Etc? They certainly have a better body of work than the Stones ever had. They were mainly a live/singles band.
Shit name for the album though.
Well, in your opinion. I think that point is very highly contestable.
No it isn't. They released one classic album, Floyd and Zep were far more album orientated.
Nope.
I'll give you Amnesiac, and even then, that isn't trash, it's a good album by anyone else standards, but off the back of Kid A.....yeah not really.
Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers....which "one" are you referring too?
Exile. Like I said they were a singles band. I reckon if you went to a Stones gig and asked their fans which album their classic songs were on you'd get a low percentage of correct answers.
That'd be more down to the fact that this generation is the singles generation themselves, you'd get the same low percentage of correct answers if Zeppelin and Floyd reunited and went to their gigs.
I know Pink Floyd "fans" who don't even know what Animals is.....
I know Pink Floyd "fans" who don't even know what Animals is.....
No you wouldn't because Zep never released singles. And I wasn't talking about this generation.
It's a good job we don't have to worry about all this, what with it being a Radiohead thread an all
You said "which album their classic songs were on"
However, yes they did release singles, I actually have a few passed down to me, not that it really matters. Point is, if you'd ask someone what album either "Whole Lotta Love" or "Paint It Back" come from.....you'd probably get the same amount of correct answers for both.
Video for (I'm guessing) the first single off the new album.
Not sure if I like it.
Not sure if I like it.
It's ok, but not as good as I expected. The video's hilarious, though.
When do folk expect this to be available, for free that is?
You mean to "buy" it on internet? Probably tomorrow although I'm hearing rumours that those who pre-ordered are getting emails just now. If that's the case then it should be available even tonight.
I preordered the mp3 version of the album and it's downloading as I type this. Mind you, I live in Aus so it may not be available for you guys yet.
