Woke up to see this link on twitter http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/ if this is real they have caught me completely off guard

<--- Big Baller World Order

it's 5:30 AM right now.
i'm not very creative.

<--- Big Baller World Order

they just won my 50 bucks.

50bucks? yikes if you are in the uk its about 30 dollars. Im not earning at the moment but at 8 albums half of which are special editions im too invested in this shit sigh

Since shipping is included in the price

and yet this is still a surprise and a most welcome one!

This is the first time since the bends that i haven't heard any of the songs before the album comes out. Its kind of an old school thing but i like hearing an album in its entirety the first time start to finish.

That said i imagine every website will be looking for live versions of songs to post as tracklistings

>This is the first time since the bends that i haven't heard

i always played the live versions of the songs long before the album came out but would wait until the official release before hearing the studio album. since nothing more recent than "karma police" gets played on the radio anymore here, it's easy to avoid hearing their singles.

anyway, what is the site? i'll click at home but was curious now.

also, to the above, what is wrong with arcade fire? granted, they're no radiohead, and the whole topic about 'neon bible' being the best album since 'ok computer' was a horrible joke, but they're good, too, and deserve recognition. i guess i've come around on them since rock music sucks so bad right now.

http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/

I don't understand the comparisons between arcade fire and radiohead to me at this stage of the game they are as incongruous as the radiohead-muse comparisons people still make. I think it may just be a mistaken identity thing. in the sense that they are two of the 'biggest' acts within this difficult to categorise subgenre of "indie rock" I liked the first and the last AF albums a lot but don't really equate them with RH or understand the 'radiohead-lite' label thats being pushed in the GD post. If anything i think that just shows the original posters inability to differentiate the two.

My biggest disapointment with pre hearing radiohead music was hearing drunken punch up at a wedding live before the studio version. The version i had was low quality and had a fuzz to it that gave the song more "umpf". They generally do a good job with studio versions.

The bootleggers are gonna be on doubletime between now and saturday to get find some illegitamate versions to release.

nevermind


>I don't understand the comparisons between arcade fire and

"smart rock"... eh, i don't really get it either, but it's better than the one that made me kinda dislike arcade fire at first. someone described them to me as being like godspeed you! black emperor, who i loved, so when i played 'funeral' i was disappointed and answered back, "it's just a rock album."


>to me at this stage of the game they are as

yeah, those comparisons and the one to coldplay are definitely missing the boat at this point

GD is nonstop ignorance so there's little beyond that to understand

my biggest one was the live versions of "i might be wrong" in the year leading up to 'amnesiac.' on hearing the studio version of the song, i hated it and still do. they ruined what was one of their best songs IMO. it also took me a few listens to get into "motion picture soundtrack" on "'a dik' backwards" because i was married to the acoustic version from 4 years earlier. i thought they nailed "how to disappear completely," which made me happy because it was my 1st or 2nd favorite unreleased song w/ "true love waits."

agreed on all of this except i still struggle to get motion picture soundtrack. On rare occasions when listening to the album it clicks but mostly i still skip it. I'll get there one day!

i love it now and rarely ever play the old live recordings. i like the big church organ sound of the album version and find it and the outro to be a perfect ending to one of my favorite albums.

speaking of that band they're so much alike, the "my body is cage" song (may not be actual title) was one of my favorites on 'neon bible' for similar reasons, especially the organ.

for it

I was disappointed to find out it was available for download like RIGHT now.

The special edition costs much less than the one they had for In Rainbows, but I'm much too strapped these days to spend that much.

Can't fucking wait to hear this thing.

Hah, not exactly sure what that is...but holy fuck am I excited.

Nobody knows the tracklisting or for sure what potential songs made the album. This is all brand new to every fucking one of us. Shit, this probably is most anticipated album release ever for that reason. Come Saturday everyone will be experiencing the album at the same time.

These next 5 days are going to move so slowly...

Go Tigers

i'm buying mp3s now and regular cd in may when it's released.
the same i did with 'in rainbows'.

I've been checking greenplastic.com every day for months now waiting for exactly this news.

I love that there is no track-listing.

Needless to say I am anxiously awaiting Saturday.

you would need to encode the wav files to mp3 or another compatible (lossy) format, which would defeat the point, so you're better off with the 320 kbps mp3 option

so you're getting the raw file along with it's huge size.

if you're savvy with transcoding, which I'm assuming you're not, you can convert the file to lossless formats like .FLAC (not iPod compatible) or lossy formats like .mp3, ALAC, etc.

I don't quite agree with Radiohead charging different prices for lossless and lossy formats, but whatever.

like howisya suggested, you're probably better off going with the 320kbps version, as I doubt anyone can really tell the difference (inb4 controversy).

it would depend on the quality of the wav files and the system on which they're played. since it doesn't say, for all we know, these could be the highest possible wav files of enormous size. what you said before is only partially true. artists have been selling/otherwise providing wav files higher than the 44-kHz sampling rate of audio cd for a while now. hypothetically--and i know radiohead is NOT the kind of band who would actually do this--if these were the highest quality wav, and you had a good system, you would hear the difference.

otherwise, 44-kHz 320 kbps mp3 vs. wav is an old argument best not rehashed.

also, if you want the .wav and want to convert it to have a compatible copy for an ipod, you can even do that in itunes.

in rainbows wuz a classic but fuck this soft pop shit i want them jonny greenwood there will be blood horror movie strings and some dark thick synths wailing at me and thom singing about the walls closing in and shit. and i want a 8 minute plus jam. radiohead have never made a song longer than 6 minutes. the time is now. some killer krautrock shit.

Everybody gets the album at the same time at high quality, then the actual record arrives a couple months later so that people have a reason to re-listen to the album. These are both good steps to promote actual deep listening.

What the fuck are these guys thinking?

same audio quality as WAV but smaller file sizes. It would save them a ton of money and it wouldn't annoy audiophiles as much.

Wanna export in a universal lossless format in your average music production software? That's gonna be a wave.

90% of the people that want lossless will just end up doing it anyway so Radiohead might as well do it for them.

plus it's cheaper to distribute flac. Those wav files are gonna be huge.

The public has not been educated on FLAC and unfortunately Radiohead has chosen to conform to public knowledge rather than school them. To most WAV = REALLY REALLY GOOD!!!

and rightfully so.

"Unequal economics can easily make you some enemies" Cee-Lo

Anywhere from: The Greatest Album Of All Time to Hail To The Thief.

Without having heard a single snippet of a single song nor having seen even a tracklist� holy shit I'm so excited.

This feels just like when In Rainbows came out.

I had no idea what to expect. I ended up getting an album that contained my favorite song of all time: All I Need, yet an album that I don't really enjoy as an 'album.'

This time around, I don't expect to have a new favorite song, but I do hope for and expect a Coherent Radiohead Album.

I expect a new Amnesiac. I don't expect it to revolutionize, but I do expect it to be solid. But who knows?! I'm so excited!

>Anywhere from: The Greatest Album Of All Time to Hail To The

that's a win/win situation then, right?

We know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this album. No idea on the tracklisting/length, no idea of the sound of this album...yet, I gave them $48 yesterday, and I don't regret it for a second.

One of the coolest things that they've done these last 2 albums is having everyone outside of Radiohead listen to the album for the first time at the same time. It's just an epic shared moment that we are going to experience late Friday night/Saturday morning when we all can listen to something so huge without preconceived notions clouding our judgment.

hmm, not me: i'll buy it in may when it comes out physically and might pirate it and listen before then or maybe not.

i didn't listen to IR until half a year after "everyone else" for various reasons. in theory, of course, i agree with you.
