I knew Radiohead were coming out with a new album, but I had no idea that they would inform the public about it TEN DAYS before its release! This is pretty awesome.

Well, it's digitally released in ten days. What I'm getting from the link is that the actual CD is being released in early December.

Oh, and one last thing. You can choose how much you pay for it. It's a donation I do suggest you either make a decent donation, or plan to buy the CD when it's released later this year. Pleases and thank yous to Radiohead.

I heard about this. I don't think I've ever been more excited about a CD release.
First, I'm getting the download in ten days and then I'm pre-ordering the discbox, cos it has an extra CD with it. AND THE ALBUM ON VINYL. 
Gonna cost a fair bit but it's gonna be woooorth it.

Amazing, I can't wait.  I hope the digital download is in FLAC (or at least a high bitrate of something else) and has no DRM, because I'm not sure I'm willing to pay ~$80 for an album, even if it is Radiohead.

I'm really excited for this. I think I just might be crazy enough to buy the entire discbox.

Now, how the MCR thread was able to reach four pages while this is stuck at three comments is beyond my comprehension.

Heh, yea, that is a little sad.  Though, half of the MCR thread was people talking about how terrible they are.

Edit:  Never mind, I guess that was just me hoping that that many people didn't like MCR more than Radiohead.  Maybe we have to wait until the album is actually out.

This is exciting to me!

Because people don't appreciate bands that work harder to make better music without getting as much recognition?

Got my preorder email.  Looks like the digital version of In Rainbows is going to be 160kbps mp3... meh... but no DRM!

It's incredible.

15 Step + All I Need + Videotape = Best In Rainbows songs.

Not the best they've done, but it is still rather good. I know that it's better then Amnesiac anyway. I still find it hard to believe that after 4 years, all they put together is 10 songs and 42 minutes worth of music...

... though the discbox has a bonus disc so stfu me!

It's not bad.

And a few of the songs are old material too.  But it's still great.  Not quite up to OK Computer standards, but In Rainbows has been growing on me.  I'm enjoying it more every time I listen to it.

I'd have to say my favorites are "Faust Arp" and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place".

There are some that are a little bland for me. "All I Need" and "House of Cards" aren't that great, but I'm sure they'll grow on me, a la "Lucky". I hear "Videotape" was much better live.
