Radiohead In Rainbows Discussion (rock, favorite songs, albums, discography, tunes)

Night_Lamp · 11-14-2007, 10:17 AM

Radiohead say they'll release some #'s in jan. I wonder if they'll report how much downloaders paid? I think it's crazy to trust users to choose the price they pay. Too many people undervalue art. I'm not saying I agree with current pricing for music, but is Itunes $9.99 for an album you can preview first, that expensive? I'd be willing to pay a little more for a higher-rate (Better sounding) download.

Can an album who's sales #'s are reported by the artist, not the RIAA, be nominated for a grammy? I'd bet not.

^I think Radiohead didn't care much about the money nor the number of sales with this album, well, if they cared about either of the two it would be the number of downloads. The fact that they made it possible for people to get it for free shows that they just wanted to get their album out there. I know many people who paid 5-10 dollars, after downloading it for free I went back and paid $10, I haven't heard of many people paying more than $10, though I'm sure that long time Radiohead fans did.

McCartney's going to be really pissed if he ever picks up a Drugstore album.

this album proves that radiohead is on a downward spiral. honestly, do you think they could ever do better then kid a?
i love radiohead, dont get me wrong here, but thom really has to tone down the crazyness in his vocals, i used to like that his words made some sense and were intelligent but now- WEIIIRRRDD FISSSHHHEESS, cmon dude wtf is that...
nude and faust arp were good tunes though, my album faves.

the crispy clean guitar sound on nude makes me excited. very laid back.

I don't think Radiohead are on a downward spiral.
It's just personal preference.
Some people thought they were on a downward spiral after Pable Honey.
Others thought they were spiralling down after OK Computer.
The truth is that they just keep changing.
It's a great thing in my opinion.

Coolest bootleg cover ever .....

Anyone else feel Disc 2 is much harder to get into? It's still good but so far it hasn't really clicked with me which I found odd seeing as In Rainbows did immediately, but then again (barring In Rainbows) all the post-OK Computer stuff hasn't taken awhile.
