I think this whole thing is awesome, even though I don’t really care for Radiohead.

But I was expecting something better than 160 kbps mp3…especially since I imagine a lot of Radiohead fans are more conscious of sound quality than the average person.

cantt fucking wait

No kidding – 160K is a joke. I was expecting more like 256K VBR at the least… come on Thom, this is no way to make a musical statement!

” I imagine a lot of Radiohead fans are more conscious of sound quality than the average person.”

IS THAT AN INSULT? anyway, romor has it that Oasis is following in the footsteps od Radiohead and NIN.

This may or may not be true, but UK based drownedinsound posts, “a minute past midnight tomorrow morning…” OR 4:01 PST which is 32 minutes from now!!

They plan to sign with a company so they can make the release available in stores sometime in 08. Which leads me to believe that the 160 bit rate is to encourage fans to purchase the store bought higher quality copy.

let down at 160k

So much for that 12:01 rumor. It’s already close to 50 minutes into the day in the UK and I still haven’t gotten the email with the activation code. If I had that album by tonight, Ooooooooohhh she’s gonna be niceness.

I am a mac user, i could use Flip4Mac which microsoft recommends. just in case people didn’t know this already.

gonna be late for work i recon!

why havent i gotten that first email yet???!!!!

Maybe a nod to Zappa And The Mothers?, not a first though….

Download email is out!!! LP7 has dropped

WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN E-MAIL?! I HAVE WAITED ALL NIGHT… LIKE A CHILD WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING…

Kind of wish they posted the bit rate *before* I pre-ordered: it would have affected how I valued it. Oh well, still glad to support a new business model.

Yay got the link!

Salivation is almost over!!!

i got it. it was pretty easy and fast. l am on track 3 and love it so far.

People pleeease stop saying things like that I’m freaking out over here! I want that e-mail to come NOW!

Ages ago..

Anything to do with those who ordered the Discbox get the download first? or maybe just in the order you placed your order from 9-10 days ago..

what should I do if I haven’t gotten an e-mail yet, besides cry?

I still didn’t get the code! I ordered the Diskbox yesterday and I thought that the download was included! Help!!!!!

Hey, everyone who hasn’t gotten the email yet… check the junk folder of your inbox. That’s where mine ended up.

hello,

“In Rainbows” sounds like “Thom Yorke presents ‘The Eraser Pt. II with Special Guests, Radiohead.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

listen! now!!

is there a way in which we can still download the album for free and get an email thing because i thought i did it like a week ago but i guess i didnt……

soo uhh is like the deadline up or something?

I agree with the letdown, but not the over the top, ignorant pretentiousness. Do you ever find your friends yawning when you drone on?

I went to their website the day of but couldn’t find anything. Is is too late to get a download? Congratulations to those of you who have it already.

““In Rainbows” sounds like “Thom Yorke presents ‘The Eraser Pt. II with Special Guests, Radiohead.”

I disagree with you entirely, Jeff. In Rainbows feels much more Greenwood oriented, with an honourable mention for Mr Selway’s excellent percussion.

Overall it has a much warmer feel to it than the previous albums. I’m amongst those who have found themselves smiling and nodding along to every track from the very first play through.

There’s an air here of – dare I say it – optimism threaded throughout each track. It’s been written elsewhere that In Rainbows sounds like a band saying a last goodbye, but it seems more to me that they’re saying ‘we’re going in search of something of great importance, anyone wanna come along for the ride?’.

It’s another excellent simultaneous step forwards with a touch of sideways shuffling.

Oh. You need to go to http://www.inrainbows.com to get it. Gosh, that’s not the information I got.

Got it this morning with no trouble. Paid £4.75 in pre-order (which translates into about $10.00 when you add in the credit card service fee). I’m over the moon with the result. I keep thinking:

WHAT IF EVERY BAND WERE THIS GOOD?

That was easy. Thanks! Ready to listen now.

wait a second while I go plug in my 8 track and compare the quality!

Hey, I think this is great, You should try this!

Man, I cant seem to find this to download and I have been looking for 3 hours now. Well, I give up, I guess its back to PORN!

Help! When I go to http://www.inrainbows.com it requires a userid and password. Can’t find any download info on http://www.radiohead.com. Didn’t know ahead of time to preorder and get the e-mail. Just want to find out how to download!!

I have been TRYING all day to get into the site and get a copy. For some reason I had no idea that it was coming out until i read about it today. (OOH MAYBE RECORD CO’s pay for MARKETING. HMMM!?)

Now I click on what I think is the website inrainbowsdotcom and get login and password prompt.

I don’t have one.

SO as a result of my frustration, I am (if I ever CAN get in and “pick my own price”) going to pay 2 cents as a message that I am PISSED OFF!

just for the record

australian radio station beat both nme and xfm’s “world exclusive” playback by 4hrs

in fact we played it twice in the 4hours!

woot

When I click on the link to download, it says my authentication code is invalid!!
Anybody else get this???
I’m frustrated…

don’t you get it? they build up a database of email addresses and exploit that over the lifetime of the people in the database – which adds up to something huge if you factor in future albums, memorabilia, concert tickets… And this is a great promotional tool to boot. These songs, which are undoubtedly brilliant, will make it into the ether via word of mouth and radio ($) and eventually movie soundtracks ($) and so on. Brilliant maneuver. Hope it works perfectly.

Isn’t that your fault…not the band’s? 1.2 million people were on the ball. Be mad at yourself for not paying attention…many of us were checking daily for news (any news).

Just relax, dude. you’ll get you album soon enough and THEN you’ll be happy.

hey i heard the album many times over, i’m a bit disappointed….the live versions sounded better

Oh, and did not know about it. Thanks for the information …

The Li-Ion laptop battery doesn’t have a memory effect and lasts considerably longer than its predecessors.
