I just want to be able to buy a CD, I don't want vinyl. Downloading is free anyhow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have never paid for a download, I am not planning to, I buy loads of CDs. If I can buy it on CD I will. If I can't it is free! I think Radiohead are wondering if I am the norm in this respect. From what I have read in this thread I think it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Holy shit! Most of these songs have been played live and they're very good I must say. INTERESTED! |
||||||||
|

Ok |

A lot of bands have been doing the LISTEN TO MY RECORD ONLINE BEFORE IT'S RELEASED 2.0 stuff ... not just shitting on Radiohead a lot are doing it, and it's not because they are being nice (though they really make it seem like it is) it's because they realize they make more money live, and since the internet mp3 ipod shit lot's of bands have been getting way more new fans, because of the open peer to peer market. You imagine if soulseek didn't exist for us? I'd know of like ... Aphextwin and thats it. Not all (cause there are some really hardcore music fans here) but most find out about new bands via mp3. 50cent released his album for free before it was released on CD ... |

I would have a lot more respect for them if they did this several years ago, or at least admitted to what they are doing. I guess I might be getting a little jealous that the million dollar band is going to be playing the INDEPENDENT artist role in all the music magazines for the next year, when really the real guys are people like us who have day jobs and try to release our music on line. But whatever thats not the thread, excited to hear this hope it's good ! |

is yorke still depressed and not satisfied with his life ? i haven't paid attention to his songs/lyrics since my teens |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
just pre-ordered it, i paid £1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh crap, i had so much trouble getting to the confirmation page it reset the price to 0.00 and i didn't realise it, bugger, i wanted to pay at least something for it :( |
||||||||
|

|

just order it again..? — i don't know whether to download it or not — i'd like to give it a listen before deciding between the discbox (if i love it) or the normal cd (if i just like it), yet i'd feel kinda guilty to say i want the mp3s for free. which is silly, i know, but... i wonder whether they'd regret their decision to distribute the album this way if everyone downloads it for 0.00. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I bet they couldn't care less if you entered 0.00, really - they are so wealthy now, I reckon they're doing this as a kind of gift to the fans, in a way. They know they'll get shitloads from the hardcore fanbase who will all buy the boxset anyway. And seeing as I've spent probably 150+ quid on their past cds and concerts, I don't have a problem getting this one for free, and have ordered it... Having said that I will probably go halves on the box with my brother. |

"the million dollar band is going to be playing the INDEPENDENT artist role in all the music magazines for the next year, when really the real guys are people like us who have day jobs and try to release our music on line." WORD! |

|
|
seriously get over this. it's such a nopoint. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok... enjoy your new Radiohead. Now, I seriously mean that. See you in a different topic... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
did anyone mention it would be great if boc did this? i didn't read the whole thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think this is a great great play by them...i know a lot of people hate them but who cares, i love em and im psyched to see them make a major move on their own..kudos to them, i will be buying the box as i usually love all the artwork they release with their records and this one should be in a nice sized format if it comes with vinyl... |

i listened to the live mp3s a whole lot when i first heard them. i kinda wish i didnt now considering i recognise all but 3 of the songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must say I did expect "Fuck off you greedy cunt" to appear when I entered £00.00. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but instead, showered with <'s and 3's. |

I did however love Jonny Greenwood in the new multi million dollar Harry Potter movie. OK IM OUT OF THIS THREAD :D |
||||||||
|

i am totaly having this when its out |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I really like Ok Computer and Kid A is an excellent make out album ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you can do both really. it looks intelligent to use plural to me, because it's more informative, and in dutch you're not really allowed to do it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i lost interest in radiohead after 'ok computer' but i really like this idea of letting people decide how much they want to pay for a download of the new album. i paid £2.50 which i feel is fair. how much did you pay? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will wait for the cd if i want to pay for it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
3 pounds, rather cheap for a kick in the industry's arse :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
something like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ordered the cd-box as well. i liked their last album (i really did!) and good initiatives deserve support. And after the Jammie Thomas episode the industry deserves a HUGE kick in it's arse!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I expect I'll be doing the same after hearing the downloads. I'm using those as sample tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but then you're really hard to please and hate nearly everything, so you're not a great judge. |
||||||||
|
|

I found a page with actual edits from the album, that you can listen to for those interested: |

SOUNDS IMMENSE. |

The radiohead release is just one big PR stunt IMO. By doing like this they made sure they were on headline news all over the world, for free. If an unknow act did the same thing do you think anyone would care? Being an unknown band on the internet is about as exciting as being in the phone book, hey we are relasing our album on the net, ok ,gee wiz! Radiohead would not have been where they are today without the backup of a record company early on in their career. The trick here is free press. We're talking about it on this site, other people are talking on others. It's in magazines and on the cable news shows. Mustering an ad campaign like this would cost a fortune and it is. They are under-selling or giving away their music at the expense of making headlines. They're betting on the backside and will probably win. Good on them! The next band/artist to offer the same deal wont be doing it with as much press or any that doesn't reference the pioneers. |

Radiohead dont need the money, the press, or a promo stunt or the press coverage, Im pretty sure just about everyone on the planet has heard of Radiohead before. |

I see, so rich people don't care about money. That explains why we live in a utopia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think radiohead counts on making as much money from this album as they have from previous albums. One way or another. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think you get the point. this is not as much about making money as it is about making a statement: artists should not be as dependent on the industry as the industry would like. you do have a point however in the sense that they're biting the hand that fed them (the 'industry'). it's a bit hypocritical, but the statement is a good one and hopefully it'll change the game somewhat. i mean, what if every major artist will release their own stuff on the internet. there wouldn't be much of an industry now, would there? and in that sense radiohead's statement is first and foremost a statement in the direction of the industry. hopefully they'll wake-up. |

They're not giving away the album either IMO, they're giving away an EP. The discbox has a double album in it (which I might be purchasing soon), the download does not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The download is for the people who want to listen to their album. It's been almost four years since they released Hail To The Thief, it's going to be interesting to hear how their sound has changed. "Lots of piano" is what I hear. Radiohead had three guitarists at one point; I'm not sure if they still do. I'm going to listen to this if I get an email on Wednesday. My confirmation email didn't say anything, just had a few lines like this: ------- ---- -------- If you go (samp) then say what you want, then (/samp), you can type real small like this: Samo ( )=< > |

Tomorrow guys. Tomorrow morning I shall be downloading, putting on my phone and listening at school. Aswell as bluetoothing to friends. Fun! |

160 kbit files. To think some people might have paid a fair buck in support of the band. No wonder Radiohead made them free. I mean 160 kbit is shit! |
