Welcome to Gaia! ::

There's another thread made for the album here. It's not getting much love at the moment, though, and I'm not even sure if that's OK when there's an official one, but I'm seriously too drunk and happy to care. So the bottomline is credits go to figgismcfiddis for bringing the news to you first! Bless you, you awesome soul!

Anyway, *cough* You can either have it shipped as a discbox for £40 BUT you get the album, a bonus CD (with Last ******** Flowers! Gaaah!), 2 x 12 inch vinyl records, artwork and digital photographs, and a lyric booklet in neat packaging. Or you can download it online. Here's the thing: one, there's no DRM on the downloads, and two, the price is up to you. (Wakey wakey, you're not dreaming.) It's bitchslapping the industry right at its fat, ugly face. So now we've got music and a cool and innovative business model to look out for.

The downloads will be available by October 10, 2007. (Yes, we ARE getting it THIS YEAR!) It'll be available in traditional CD format early next year. (References will be added shortly.)

I'M IN ******** RAINBOWS RIGHT NOW!!! THEY FINALLY ARE GOING TO RELEASE THIS s**t. AND IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!

I do kinda wish it did came it out in cd form though, it's kinda hard to add it to my cd collection when it costs 81 US dollars.

But then again I've already heard most of the songs on the new album, and based on them, I think this may be their weakest album yet. Move over Amnesiac.

Oh what joyous news to my ears. crying

As soon as I saw that on Dead Air Space yesterday morning I started squealing excitedly. XD.
I can't freaking wait. Even though I'm going to have to wait, until next year.
In Rainbows...I like it.

(lolz, I don't like Amnesiac either)

I'll just download the thing and buy the real CD later when it's released. I really want to hear all 18 tracks and not just 10 and wait 2 months for 8 more. Well I guess it's better than waiting til 2008 for the bloody thing.

yay for Amnesiac hate!!!(even though I still rank it highly among all the albums I've ever heard...which is a lot)

Yeah, I heart Amnesiac too, but I keep on losing the CD. D:

That may have something to do with the fact that I love it; I don't listen to it quite as often as the other albums.

Really? I have live versions of pretty much every song on there, and I think that they all sound amazing. I'd agree that Amnesiac is probably my least favorite Radiohead album (well, either that or Pablo Honey), but if the songs on the new album sound anything like the live songs they've been playing, then I think it could definitely be one of their better albums.
