I've preordered the fuck out of this, whatever it actually is. And THAT is how to announce a new release, i.e. with one week's notice.

Same here, I think the short timescale between announcement and release has done that for me. No time (hopefully) for leaks, mounting anticipation and possible disappointment or anticlimax.

n.b. I was so excited I temporarily forgot how to read a calendar.

I wish the physical copy was shipping on Saturday too

50 pages of whiteness incoming

Cool, but not a word about the music itself..

that's how you sell your fucking music.

there's not much to talk about in regards to the music : P

the album was only just announced, with no tracklisting or audio samples. who knows what the record'll sound like without pure speculation!

it could be a more experimental record similar to the one off track

lolz, it could combine both and be a complete mess of a record!!!! who knows!! i want to hear it though!!

Although, I wouldn't class myself a Radiohead fan or having had followed them conciously, I think I'm going to pre-order the 'newspaper' package too. It sounds cool and should be a good keepsake even if I flitter about with the album like I did with In Rainbows.

i never bought something that blindly, hope its dark as fuck like the title and artwork suggest, like an album full of "i might be wrongs".

Also, I extremely rarely pay for music. And like I said, wouldn't class myself as a Radiohead fan. So bravo for this package because it piqued my interest instantly.

awesome, can't wait to download it

Awesome. Wish the vinyl wasn't so expensive - not paying £30 for something I have no clue about.

What the hell is a newspaper album tho?

I like all their recent releases so I am totally ok with buying it without previews.

If I had the spare money I'd probably get it too to be honest, but it's still a lot.

i tried to preorder but after i clicked buy, it just kicked me back to the main page and says i have no valid orders. anyone else have any issues?

I wonder if there is going to be a leak before Saturday. Last time there wasn't right?

I had this too. Perhaps stupidly, I tried again and that was successful. I don't appear to have been billed twice...

Are people in this day and age incapable of waiting even five days for a new release? You kids would've died of impatience waiting for new releases when I were a lad, without internet and all that shit.
