Spoiler

I don't think the Radiohead subreddit can last that long at this point

 

[minor effort]

Five more miserable days of this bullshit.

If I recall they jumped the gun a couple days ahead of the announced TKOL date just for the heck of it and put it out there. Hopefully they'll do the same again.

Five more miserable days of this bullshit.

It's so close! We've made it for five years, what's another five (hopefully) days?!

 

[Deeku]

also interesting is that their wiki page has been locked for editing until may 3rd

[maquiladora]

Maybe a single very soon then the album in a few days.

So which is it, one full day of misery or four :[

Why not both?

 

[rhino4evr]

I've been thinking about what gimmick they could come up with to release the new album for some time. I never thought about mailing a post card and then deleting the Internet. I love this band.

This is weird. Did Amazon make a mistake?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F0K26TW/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Both In Rainbows and KOL say that they're "available to preorder" for a May 6th release date...

Well that's weird... New pages for these albums and the previous Amazon MP3 ones are no longer available for purchase.

 

[wenis]

You guys find anything yet?

 

[Gouty]

They've done it! They've cracked the code for how to make money selling records.

You relist your old albums as available for preorder and then sell them again!

Think about it. First you sell your album. Then you open up preorders. THEN YOU SELL IT AGAIN!

Genius.

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Aaaaand subscribed to thread.

 

[Deeku]

I think all that is just related to the whole transferring music rights to XL that happened recently.

Wasn't there some recent glitch on Amazon where a lot of already released items were delisted and marked with a release date in the future? I think I saw it happen for a couple of books.

That might be the case.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure something will happen within the next few days.

 

[ZeroRay]

thm pls

 

[Anastasia]

Maybe this is meant to be commentary on social media and our reliance upon it. Or maybe a media "blackout" pre-release. In any case, it's a very clever way of "marketing" the new album.

I could not be more hyped.

 

[Kodaman]

clearly this means The Eraser rerelease

 

[hughesta]

I can't wait another week Thom pls.

Seriously I remember reading up on Burn The Witch when I was going through my huge Radiohead phase back when TKOL came out, and thinking that was the one song (out of the millions and billions of unreleased songs on CitizenInsane) that I wanted to hear most. And now it's happening.

 

[robotrock]

I was super bummed when I read the TKOL tracklist and saw no Present Tense. Burn the Witch stung too.

I can only hope we'll get The Present Tense on this one.

Thom played it just recently at that paris thing in december, i think that like 99% confirms we're getting it.

 

[Deeku]

don't forget Lift guys

also i really hope there's some announcement soon cos i want to stop thinking about this

 

[Transistor]

Can't wait for a new album from the greatest superband

 

[hughesta]

what are we gonna do when the album is six songs and they're all old unreleased tracks

 

[wenis]

Squeal like school girls.

 

[Deeku]

don't blow your mind with why

 

[WarRock]

What is even happening

 

[Kodaman]

What is even happening

I'm scared

 

[Gouty]

START AN OPINION POLL RECIEVE A BLOODY NOSE

 

[WarRock]

I'm scared

Be even more then. Even more.

 

[robotrock]

What is even happening

I'm pretty sure that's been like that for a few months

lmao

That depends. Is one of those six Big Boots?

 

[Guess Who]

What is even happening

Be even more then. Even more.

I'm pretty sure these are all very old. I definitely did the NODATA quiz one years and years ago.

ok. Time for me to go to bed.

 

[hughesta]

those archive pages have been there for over a decade.

 

[wenis]

those archive pages have been there for over a decade.

Yet they are still relevant today.

 

[Deeku]

So I wonder whether all of this is an elaborate planned thing that actually ties into the themes of the album, or they decided to promote the album this way as a big fuck you to all the kinda semi-leaked/ inaccurate news thats been happening since the end of last year.

So which is it, one full day of misery or four :[

I feel like they are going to do a Monday release

Though my friend brought up how cool it would be if they somehow secretly got vinyl and cds pressed and did a physical only release on Friday.

 

[ZeroRay]

They'll mail CD-Rs of the album to the people who got the Burn the Witch pamphlet.

Would be a pretty Radioheady thing of them to do.

 

[Deeku]

I really hope this doesn't continue throughout the week:/

 

[so1337]

Thom, if you're listening...

THIS IS BULLSHIT

 

[SourCinnamon]

Reporting that no music has been removed from streaming sites. For example, last Thom Yorke album is still in bancamp.

 

[dogstar]

Oh shiiiiit

Thursday hype

Their back catalogue is now in the hands of XL Recordings, who have handled their physical releases since In Rainbows. May 6th is the date this material is being re-launched.


So could this (LP9) be a net free release?...

 

[sdornan]

Reporting that no music has been removed from streaming sites. For example, last Thom Yorke album is still in bancamp.

In Rainbows doesn't come up in Apple Music anymore, though I can still stream it from when I previously added it to my library.
