I see what citizen is saying, and I really am a big fan of radiohead, but this internets shit has become so insane that I am not even tempted to care for a band of this stature. Not even for the sake of tallies or whatever.
Like I said, I'm still generally grassroots and always buy shit at shows, I have a closet full of concert tees I rarely wear...I just have absolutely no need to go to their site and fill out shit and wait for passwords or whatever when I can just get it off before I leave for work tomorrow.

I think that's pretty weak considering you can get it from them for free. This to me is the new model for grassroots promo/sales. I personally want this thing to succeed so we'll see more of it. I gave em 10 bucks, and will probably buy the box set since that's where they're making their money off this.
This is the first time we get to hear a proper version. Lately Radiohead has been adding older songs to their latest albums. That is songs that have been around for awhile, but never were recorded in a studio. Just played Live.

Album is nuts, better than expected.
I'm with DLG on this one. The digital d/l is only at 160kbps. It's not even CD quality sound. When you buy the discbox it comes with the d/l anyway. No use in paying $91.00. 81 is enough. Radiohead will be fine. Their families will not be starving, and they'll make more than enough money from this album. Especially if a ton of people buy the discbox.
I paid 8 bucks. It's a solid album. I'm interested to see how it does revenue wise though. Would give some leeway as to how Nine Inch Nails chooses to do their thing.
i've listened to "Bodysnatchers" about 10 times today, ive always wished Radiohead would just rock the fuck out more...theyre fuckin GOOD at it even when they incorporate their more experimental side like on this track.
When people think of Providence, Rhode Island they typically think of organized crime
i downloaded it last night from another site for free. cause the inrainbows site was taking too long. listened to it all today and liked, and went back and paid $10 for it on the radiohead site, cause i wanted to support what they're doing.

A clean mp3 at 160kbps is fine, I doubt anyone here could tell the difference. The files haven't been copied and up/downloaded a billion times like most of the free crap out there on blog sites or torrents.
If bands like radiohead can cut their label ties, I'm of the opinion that they can put out more music at better prices. That to me is worth the 90 bucks I'll end up paying for this.
before I leave for work tomorrow.
