I can see it being harder to dig though it has "Pyramid Song" which is one of their best.

I prefer Kid A. It has Motion Picture Soundtrack.

I wonder why they're not doing this one by donation again. I thought that did wonders for the last time.

Amazing song.. the album probably ranks joint 5th with HTTT for me though, but that's a testiment for the other 4 (with pablo honey in last of course)

Very exciting news about the new album! I only started listening to In Rainbows recently (no idea what took me so long) and it's really great, probably their best since OK Computer, so this announcement has been timed brilliantly for me!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #250 on:** February 15, 2011, 11:28:56 AM »

Just did a full concentration listen of OK Computer last night.

I absolutely loved it this time, but, bizarrely, it's gonna need a bit more getting into for me to love it, unlike Kid A, which is the opposite of what I'd expect.

Is Thom Yorke's head connected to that body?

I'll get it tonight.

On track 6 (out of 8) now. So far I like it, but I think it's 'okay' for Radiohead standards. But of course it has to grow a lot and I can see enough room for it to grow. Track 6 (codex) is about to finish, and I really liked it immediatly though.

About the sound; it's rather electronic driven (instead of guitar driven).

Only 8 tracks? How long is the album?

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #258 on:** February 18, 2011, 04:56:22 AM »

Just 37.5 minutes. That was a disappointment to see...

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #259 on:** February 18, 2011, 05:15:19 AM »

Okay. The last track is named Seperator and they repeat the lyrics 'If you think this is over, you're wrong' 4 times.

Let the speculating begin.

...Thom Yorke is the new DT drummer?

Either that or there are more tracks coming. The latter would make sense given the late release of the physical copy.

Or it's completely nothing.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #262 on:** February 18, 2011, 05:27:58 AM »

downloading now!

Edit: I know I can play .wavs in iTunes...so why can't I import the files?

Zantera · « **Reply #263 on:** February 18, 2011, 05:28:24 AM »

Is it out now? :O
I tried to find it on the web without any luck, and NO I wont pay for a download, I'll pay later and get the physical copy probably.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #264 on:** February 18, 2011, 05:31:10 AM »

Shouldn't be too hard to find now. I pre-ordered the newspaper thingie so I got the digital edition anyway. Think I was before most people since I downloaded it quite fast and I hear that it's a lot slower now.

Almost done with my second listen. I think it's way better this time. I love how it goes from relatively sad to more optimistic. The last few tracks are amazing and Codex was an instant 'love' on last.fm.

ariich · « **Reply #265 on:** February 18, 2011, 06:33:30 AM »

Zantera, I really wouldn't go about discussing illegally downloading it if I were you.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #266 on:** February 18, 2011, 06:54:03 AM »

Third listen is over. Have to take a break now

.

But anyway, amazing album. I know I said it was 'okay' 2 hours ago but I absolutely love it now.

Yeah I'm not going to discuss it, or link to anything or whatever.
I know the rules.

I grabbed it this morning. Having not been able to get into Radiohead before, this did it. This album pulled me in almost from the beginning.

Gems: Morning Mr. Magpie, Little By Little, Lotus Flower, Separator

Question: If I like this kind of Radiohead, what album should I try next?

I think In Rainbows would be the most fitting, considering we're talking of a more electronic-driven Radiohead.

Zantera · « **Reply #270 on:** February 18, 2011, 08:24:52 AM »

Listening to this album right now!

jag66 · « **Reply #271 on:** February 18, 2011, 08:47:31 AM »

I'm waiting till I get back from work to listen. Sounds like there's a pretty mixed reaction to the album (think the Kid A response was pretty similarly luke warm).. people STILL hoping for the bends part II, tsk..

I would not be at all surprised if they release more material (either "this year", or perhaps even imminently).

skydivingninja · « **Reply #272 on:** February 18, 2011, 08:53:09 AM »

First listen will commence as soon as I finish listening to "The Pimp and the Priest" by the Dear Hunter. I got the "Faster, save me" section stuck in my head during the last part of my test and couldn't get it out

Edit: On "Little By Little" right now, first listen. So far the album's been very atmospheric but relying more on percussion and bass groove and much less guitar. Kind of like a more organic Kid A if that makes sense... Its good so far, but it'll definitely need more listens. Nothing as catchy as In Rainbows so far.

Edit2: I stand by my belief that Colin Greenwood is probably the most underrated bassist ever. No one talks about him enough.

Zantera · « **Reply #273 on:** February 18, 2011, 09:57:21 AM »

I've already written a review about this album on the blog I'm running with a friend. (some of you already know it, otherwise... check sig)
This is the best day in a long time, this album is mindblowing!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #274 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:01:43 AM »

Wow, the lyrics of the last track sound very interesting. 'Acquiring' now, absolutely CANNOT WAIT.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #275 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:09:36 AM »

Okay, so this album is pretty good. Think my early favorites are Feral, Give Up the Ghost, and Morning Mr. Magpie. Just finishing the second listen now.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #276 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:50:40 AM »

It's amazing. Listened to it 4 times now and I absolutely love it. Can't see anything else becoming album of the year.

Also, I'm not bothered by the fact that it's relatively short. It flows really well and nothing seems like filler. Although the 37 minutes feel more like 6 when listening, there is not a boring moment in the whole album.

I said the same last year about Anathema when it came out, but eventually I was proved wrong by several albums.

I agree completely here.

I freaking love the atmosphere on this album, btw. The drums and bass parts are some of the best. "Bloom," "Codex," and "Lotus Flower" are the only songs that still need to "click" for me, I think. I've listened to it about three times so far...

KevShmev · « **Reply #279 on:** February 18, 2011, 12:21:00 PM »

As if songs like "Pyramid Song," "Videotape," "Sail to the Moon," etc. weren't enough, "Codex" is rock solid proof that when Thom Yorke sits down at a piano and starts singing, something special is gonna happen. What an outstanding song.

Oh yeah, and the rest sounds terrific, too. This is a wonderful day.
