Awesome news.

I want a tracklist..

A great album here further confirms their status (imo) as the greatest mainstream act of my generation

I managed not to give in but probably will have pre-ordered it by the end of tonight.

Great news!

Preordered the digital version. That Newspaper Package looks really sweet though...just really expensive right now.

Screw this. I do not have the money at all, but pre-ordered.

Newspaper edition ordered. Most excited I've been for a long time.

Good god that's expensive.

Not really considering what you're getting

Yeah I had pretty much the same.

Only Radiohead could keep an album that big a secret until now.

But seriously, this is so unfair! I've just gotten into them in the last week, and I absolutely LOVE everything I've heard, I need more time to get into them!

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #223 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:11:25 AM »

I got into them at exactly the right time. Listened to them a lot the past month(s) and a new album couldn't have come at a better moment.

I pre-ordered the newspaper thingie btw.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #224 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:14:38 AM »

I'm frantically listening to their back catalogue I haven't heard (ie everything except OK Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows) in chronological order now.

I'll probably still preorder the album though.

Zantera · « **Reply #225 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:25:45 AM »

Even though I consider Radiohead to be one of my absolute favorite bands ever, and have like 2,4k plays with them on lastfm - I still haven't heard Pablo Honey.
I'm not really sure why I haven't spinned it yet, but I guess it's mostly because I rank The Bends and OK Computer as my 'least' favorite albums by the band, and if Pablo Honey sounds similar to The Bends, then it doesn't feel very interesting.
Obviously I've heard Creep, but not really a big fan of the song, and if the rest of the album is like that, then meh.

I'll most likely check it out though, I'm planning to do a "check out albums I dont know by artists I love" this year, there are more examples like Thrice (only heard the latest 4 releases), Dream Theater (haven't heard WDADU in full yet) etc etc.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #226 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:32:27 AM »

I'm the same with a lot of my favourite bands' earlier albums, like WDADU and Thrice's earlier stuff is the same for me too.

I'm actually listening to Pablo Honey now, and whilst I'm enjoying it, I'm like Zantera in that Kid A onwards is where I seem to like Radiohead a LOT from, as OK Computer never wowed me quite as much as some others. So basically stuff's just gonna get better as I go along this week!

KevShmev · « **Reply #227 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:32:35 AM »

Pablo Honey has its moments, but unless you are a completist, I don't think it is worth picking up. It really is unbelievable how everything else they have ever done is miles ahead of it.

It's your fault for being so late at getting into the best band ever!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #229 on:** February 14, 2011, 11:47:32 AM »

True, but all I'd heard was most of OK Computer and Creep before a week or two ago. Enter Kid A and In Rainbows, and I love them now. Expect OK Computer love to follow shortly, as well.

Just finished Pablo Honey, it was enjoyable but not really what I want from Radiohead, onto The Bends now.

OK Computer is my personal favourite and one of my favourite albums of all time. I used to doubt between OK Computer and Kid A but OK Computer just keeps on growing on me.

I think I need to give it a listen where it's got my undivided attention like I did Kid A and In Rainbows, which I'll try and do shortly.

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #233 on:** February 14, 2011, 12:43:43 PM »

Yeah OKC is the best album ever made. Period.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #234 on:** February 14, 2011, 12:45:32 PM »

Holy crap, the checkout page for the new album is overloaded at the minute.

Zantera · « **Reply #235 on:** February 14, 2011, 12:48:40 PM »

OKC isn't even the best Radiohead-album.

In Rainbows, Kid A and Amnesiac are the top3 for me.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #236 on:** February 14, 2011, 12:53:32 PM »

I get the feeling it's an obvious noob choice, but Jigsaw Falling Into Place is my favourite song of theirs so far. It's just incredible in every way, and I love the way it's CONSTANTLY ramping up in its short running time.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #237 on:** February 14, 2011, 01:46:58 PM »

In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead album. OKC and Kid A are tied for second. Kid A is a monster to get into, but it gets better every time I hear it. The Bends is after those, and Hail to the Thief after that. Still haven't heard Amnesiac or Pablo Honey (I'm ashamed at the former).

Zantera · « **Reply #238 on:** February 14, 2011, 02:12:09 PM »

I didn't really have problems to get into Kid A.
Not that I listened a lot to electronic music before, but hearing that album for the first time just blew me away.
It was probably easier to get into then OKC and The Bends.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #239 on:** February 14, 2011, 02:28:55 PM »

Awesome. I used to listen to Radiohead all the time. I'm just now getting back into them, and at the perfect time, apparently.

Seriously though, OK Computer is my favourite album of all time

I can't bloody wait till saturday

orcus116 · « **Reply #241 on:** February 14, 2011, 02:40:23 PM »

The Bends is definitely their best.

Zantera · « **Reply #242 on:** February 14, 2011, 02:49:07 PM »

The Bends is alright, though I much prefer their more experimental-stuff.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #243 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:33:33 PM »

I just really like the overall feeling of OK Computer the most.

I cannot wait for this new album. I don't want to expect too much (don't want a letdown) but secretly I am expecting it to be amazing.

Are you kidding me? Amnesiac is better than Kid A IMO.
