radiohead have released the download today, which is a day earlier than promised. the guardian have a running commentary on the days events - www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/feb/18/radiohead-king-of-limbs-live. say what you like about radiohead, but days like today get them loads of attention. which is probably just as well because this album will alienate people more than even kid a did. my first impression is an album of next to no guitars, glitchy beats and thom yorkes vocals really prominent, crystal clear in the mix. on first listen its a winner first review i've seen www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/8333063/Radiohead-King-of-Limbs-album-review.html - contains this telling, and welcome snippet "If Radiohead are still a rock band, then no one has told them. This is something else entirely. The sound of the future calling." |

Surely this is a spoof thread-?! you'd think, wouldn't you? amazingly enough, it appears that at least one person in the world still really really likes radiohead  [better him than me] |

I like Radiohead, good band. Kid A was an excellent album. Said it now, and I really hope I can give up drinking!

Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose"

Just received my newspaper and 2 x ten inches. Somehow I feel ripped off. 30 notes for this shite. I'm appauled. I expected better for the package. The music seems like a grower though.

agree jahspear, 30 quid is extortionate for the package. how's your vinyl? mine is quite crackly on a few songs, especially the very first song.
i'm surprised at radiohead agreeing to put this on clear vinyl, they are quite tight on quality control and isnt anything apart from black vinyl prone to sounding poor?

I also noticed some crackles - I think mainly on the second 10 inch.
You're right - coloured or clear vinyl is normally a no no. The only reason I went for this was due to the quality of the In Rainbows box vinyl - black, nice and heavy and the sound is tops.
I was tempted to sell this on and get the standard In Rainbows LP but read that the quality was poor. So I kept the box and hence why I went for the newspaper version of this, expecting it to be a similar quality package. So so wrong.
Also what is the deal with the sheet of little pictures - I assume this is the so called art work. What a joke.

yep, the vinyl from the in rainbows box is superb, played it today funnily enough. read something today that the artwork from king of limbs was only good for using with acid |

My copy of Paranoid by The Dickies on clear vinyl plays fine,as does Brand New Age LP by the UK Subs,Dancing With Myself 7" by Generation X & a dodgy synth 7" by Zoo Boutique which leads me to believe it isn't the clear vinyl that sounds shit but Radiofloyd?

taff, i wouldnt go slagging anybody for liking radiohead by using cartoon punk bands as an argument.
then again, you could count the amount of pink floyd songs i've heard on the digits of one hand, so maybe they totally rip them off.

You know me better than that old pal,I would never 'slag off' anyone for liking a particular band,each to their own I say.I was merely pointing out that I have several clear vinyl records,some over 20 years old,some admittedly shite,that play fine. I have to admit to being quite partial to some Pink Floyd,especially Wish You Were Here which if you'd told me, when I was buying that UK Subs LP, that in 21 years I'd listen to Pink Floyd & disco I'd probably have nutted you.

you're in the record game though taff. isnt it accepted fact that anything other than black vinyl is reckoned to be lesser quality and basically just a gimmick.
for example, my copy of beefhearts lick my decals off baby is on this lurid orange vinyl and doesnt sound as good as my mates black vinyl. its one of the few records i have on anything other than black vinyl because i'd always been led to believe coloured vinyl = pish

i might be "in the record game" but i've never been in the hi-fi game pal so it probably makes a difference what you listen on,I use,whenver approprate,a 1960's Dansette,my brother in Surrey has to change his belt on his £700 deck everytime he changes from 12" to 7". To quote the great John Peel "life has surface noise"

its a bugger that taff, changing from 12" to 7". although, i dont have to change the belt, just the positioning of the belt, are you sure that this isnt what he does too, rather than change the bloomin belt? makes me long for the days of just flicking a switch between 33,45
