La Bomba Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/thekingoflimbs452.jpg And...they're back. Radiohead have just announced their eighth full-length record, The King of Limbs. Billed as the world's first "Newspaper Album," an extravagantly packaged version of the record will be issued on May 9; however, the music itself will effectively be issued on Saturday, February 19 when digital downloads become available to those who made pre-orders. So Radiohead have set aside the "pay what you want" patronage model that dominated the conversation surrounding the In Rainbows release, yet have retained that album's more important business aspects: Packaging their music as a high-end collectable and controlling and monetizing its leak, which has the effect of creating what these days is a rare, worldwide, collective listening experience. Once again, we all know exactly when we're first able to hear a new Radiohead record and therefore will largely all experience it together, something almost completely lost in today's pop music landscape. This in effect is also what Kanye West did so successfully with his G.O.O.D. Friday project. http://pitchfork.com/news/41561-radiohead-to-release-new-album-this-saturday/ I know me and Lkr are happy to see this.

Riot Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) I was a little disappointed at first but its growing on me for sure, favorite tracks so far are Codex and Give Up the Ghost. And I think it kinda sounds like The Eraser, Thom Yorke's solo shit. Would've liked to hear more guitar but I respect what they doin. Edit: Whoa whoa whoa, is there no more word censor? Bloody hell, sweet. Edited February 26, 2011 by Riot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
