Radiohead's new business model:

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.

They're going to release a CD version of the record next year.

@spiritualized--thus screwing all the fans that bought online, since the CD release will have material not available via the download and will be released through one of the big four. Everyone thought they were enlightened... Now the sad truth is that it was a publicity stunt designed to extract more money from their fans.
