Radiohead's new business model:


Radiohead is offering downloads of their new album "In Rainbows" on their website. You name the price (including $0)

I really like the new album, it's really picking up where Kid-A left off...some of my favorites include...

House Of Cards (great bass reverb use here)
All I Need (VERY Kid-A'ish)
Weird Fishes
Reckoner

I really wish Radiohead would do more epic songs like Polyethylene which seem to make it onto EP's but are always omitted from LP's. Polyethylene is by far my favorite RadioHead tune and I can't think of a more 'epic' song.
I just had a chance to listen to it as well - I actually like this already as much as Kid A. Wide range of songs with some really outstanding ones:

15 Steps (great opener with explosive beats)
All I need (agree - very much in Kid A style)
House of Cards
I am concerned that the band is not providing fans a choice of formats to buy. Packaging both vinyl and cd together and charging a hefty price is, IMHO, purely in the interest of the band only and not their fans.
What about the fact it is only sold at 180bps, whats its value to Audiophiles now? I would pay $8-$10.
