it’s 3:00 am, nearly 3:03 am which makes it nearly 12 hours away from it some sort of aniversary of my birth. I’m drunk on fermented grape, and willing to speak my thoughts of the new radiohead album as I listen to it. So far it is as I expected boredering on rythem and anit-rythem, brilliance, their regerated past, motown, electronica, nick cave, isolation, longing, and perhaps their best album .better than yorks solo album, much, much better. I believe it will go down in the next week or so as ground breaking, doomed to fall into obsurity thorough the passing of time but it effects on the music industry will far outlast the albums impact to the single fan/ listener. This will be due to radiohead’s MSRP, which is as far as I can tell is 1 english pound, I paid 5. I am not a fool , I paid 5 pounds because that is what I would have paid elsewhere for it in the first week of it’s release. I asked myself if i deluged myself by paying 10 u.s. dollors for something that I could either 1) illegaly downloaded or 2) pay 1 pound roughly 2 dollors u.s. for. I paid 10 dollors for something that took a very long time to produce ,4 years in fact. but had no overhead, no layout, no record contract, no jewel case to loose, no weird drawings, no acid free paper, no acid laden paper, no real price tag. I feel the beauty of this album will be felt by fans, and the few that discover this album as their first radiohead experiance. However the true devotees will be all those bands that follow in the future with similar styled releases , that we will all see as the normal purchasing process in the future. God speed mr. greenwood thanks for the nice album it was worth 10 bucks.
P.S. they will totally kick kid rocks ass but they wont appear on billboard’s top 100. thats fuckin awsome.
“in rainbows” + dystopian = 8
