maybe they want you to feel like you are getting something worthwhile? something they put some thought into packaging and making a proper album and accompanying art. maybe if you preordered and got a cd 5 months later you would feel let down. maybe because they are radiohead and can do whtever the fuck they want. its fine with me. the in rainbows box was not a disappointment. this will be no different.

i am actually wishing i had bought the in rainbows box set.

 

it just irks me the way it's been worded. it's almost as if they want all the pitchfork hipsters to go OMGZ I JUST HAVE TO HAS THE PORPOISE-BUILT REKKID SLEEV

sure they do. its radiohead and lots of hipsters buy them and they know that. Still I like the music very much

ps can somebody photo everything when they get the physical, I'm really interested in the packaging. thanks.

You had me at "new Radiohead". Pre-ordered. And the thing will be available this saturday. Sweet.

On a tangent: I expected they would have been doing the pre-release "160k mp3" again. The one where you could make up for yourself what you'd pay. And they still made a boatload of money, even though it wasn't the official release yet.

Tangent2: RH subforum.

Oh god, the website's so slow right now. I should have gone ahead and ordered when i first saw this thread.

enough with the hipster shit. they are their own hype machine and they earned it by putting out quality art time after time.

here look at these fucking hipsters.

you not counting Pitchfork?

"where I end and you begin" is such a purely incredible song. as is HTTT a purely incredible album. underrated in their discog.

and regarding the package... hell yeah they want hipsters to buy it. it's a genius business model, and frankly the ONLY business model any musician should use in the modern days!

In 2011, being an artist is all about having a business model.

no doubt. not a darned chance you'll achieve greatness and wild fame and fortune [success] in the art world if you don't have that model, yo!

Hurrah! Can't wait to flick through a Radiohead newspaper. Bound to be plenty of apocalyptic imagery. Album name is superb.

pitchfork was nothing when radiohead exploded. i don't doubt they contribute new hype but i don't think its relevant at all to radiohead sales, no.

AWESOME NEWS!!! But I'm a little disappointed I can't just get a physical CD... I don't want the vinyls for that much $. Looks like it'll be digital for me.

Apparantly normal cd release will be out march 28th

http://drownedinsound.com/news/4142025-apparently-theres-a-new-radiohead-album-or-something

Bison will be pleased to hear this .

apparently the album is named after this tree

http://www.swindon-birds.co.uk/savernakeforest.html

that tree should have been called "the queens vadge"

That tree is gnarly as fuck. So is my boner index after seeing this news.

Nabbed the newspaper album before I even realized it.

Artwork looks very cool. Definitely picking this up.

What the fuck is a newspaper album?

I guess we'll find out in 3 months

like a proper radiohead fan i opted for the non-wasteful, non-consumerist, and lower-energy mp3 version.

this record is made entirely of samples of newspapers.

It's true, I've seen their setup.

so funny.

I can't afford it but I'm so tempted to pre-order this anyway, I missed out on Analord 10 through being too tight and have regretted it since.

Done, looks like I'm living off tins of beans for the rest of the month.

had a massive hangover this morning; woke up to this. preordered. hangover gone. thank you radiohead.
