New Radiohead Album!

[Another Blown Save]

Radiohead have made a shock announcement - their new album will be released in just 10 days time and will be entitled In Rainbows.

The record will be released as a download version first of all, while a physical "discbox" verson will follow on December 3rd - this set includes a CD as well as two heavyweight 12" vinyls, as well as a second CD featuring more songs, photographs and artwork.

Even more of a shock, Radiohead have left the price for the download version blank - meaning fans can choose how much they wish to pay for In Rainbows. Meanwhile, the discbox is ready for pre-order at £40.

Further info on the discbox reveals that the set also includes lyric booklets and will be encased in a hardback book and slipcase.

Rainbow have set-up this special In Rainbows website where you can order both formats - although fans won't be able to download the album until October 10th.

I actually was just about to post this. Instead I now get to write a smarty-pants response instead. Thanks!


Since I'm allowed to name my own price, how does -$100 sound?

Trent Reznor wants to do something like this with their next album as well, after he saw the price of Year Zero in Australia.

Sweet, I am just startin to really get into Radiohead and hadn't heard this yet Thats pretty crazy that they are making it available on a vinyl records too. I hope they tour somewhere around here, I'd love to see em in concert

That is one of the ways that Radiohead is pretty much guaranteed to come out profitable on the deal even if the vast majority decide to pay nothing for the downloads. An $80 box set loaded with different formats and collectibles for one of the most highly regarded bands out there will definitely sell.

Radiohead? They were dead to me after Kid A.

I saw this yesterday and I'm pretty excited. I wasn't expecting this album until next year...now I can get it for free!

That's when I stopped listening to them also. Interesting.

I just don't get Radiohead. They're like Dane Cook to me. I just shake my head and wonder how they got so popular. Why is it so cool to like them?

Awesome, I didn't even realize it was cool to like them. This means I can finally admit the White Stripes are a load of crap and still retain my coolness.
