Bands And Albums.

i was wondering if any of you have heard the new Radiohead album??
its called "in rainbows" and as far as i know its still free to download from there website...and its totaly legal...if you download it it askes if you want to donate a fee and it gives you the choice to pay 0.00 if your skint.
the reason there doing this is because there free from there old recording contract(hail to the theif) being the last album....

so they are giving away the album online...crazy no????

well as it may seem crazy they have made more money from the online sales..the avarage people paid was 6 pounds/10 dollars per download and that is more profit than if they sell a real cd in the shops...due to the fact that the "product" is simply downloaded there are few if any overheads to pay and you dont have to manufacture the damn cds and cases and all the other costs involved with promotion and distrbution.

but when they did releasse "in rainbows" in stores it went straight to number one...people who bought the download went on to buy the "cd" in stores just to have it and theres a bonus cd with extra tunes to boot.

so if you havent heard it go and check it out...its very different to "hail' and they really seem alot happier with the whole thing now...there are more "songs" on this album...and its more guitar than keys...i f uckin love this album...i cant recommend it enough.....

ah yes...here is the video for the wonderfull..."all i need"...off the new album...in rainbows......
i love this song....radiohead back to there best...check out the blow out at the end of this tune......class.

click the link and enjoy.

That is a a beautiful piece of video photography to be sure, I initially liked the music, until the drums and vocals came in. One of those songs that I would have to listen to a few times to pass judgment.

very true howlin...like most radiohead it takes alot more than one listen to hear everthing thats going on...pop music it aint but this new album is well worth a free download....top tunes are...
"bodysnatchers"...very rock n roll full on guitars etc.
"all i need"...watch the vid
"house of cards"...wonderfull guitar licks and a very sexy song about swinging..."put your keys in the bowl..and kiss your husband goodnite"
"videotape"... slow mostly keys and tom singing his heart out, very fitting final song.

go and check it out......i havent stopped listening to it since i got it...and that is rare for me.

IA. I absolutely love radiohead. i bought "In Rainbows" in stores about a year ago. i think it may be one of their best albums. there's one thing about it though. I feel like the album is deceivingly "dark". its hard to explain but once you look past the upbeat off-timing rhythms and the epic build-ups that seem to come from nowhere, there's a certain depressing feeling to "In Rainbows". Dont get me wrong, i think the album is genius. Just wondering how you felt about it in that aspect.
