I think it's a very mature and more musical effort the more I listen, less whiney singing. Leaves me longing for more harder guitar edged songs though, but still a great effort. I think they really but a lot, musically into this effort

I paid them 5 pounds - $10 + US worth every penny

I'm disappointed with musicians not paying anything, way to support your fellow musicians guys!

I paid 6 pounds. Radiohead is one of my favorite bands, but I started listening to them after Hail to the Thief was released. This is my first opportunity to hear one of their albums when it was released. BTW, I downloaded it on the first day it was available, and was amazed at the ease and speed.

I wish they had a way to go back and actually give them money. I may sign up under a fake email just so I can pay. Not a big Radiohead fan so I gave it a download to check it out. I would have given them 5 bucks for it. It's a pretty decent album.

The best part about this album? Being the first to read about it online, then getting the pleasure of watching my roommates' minds (both HUGE radiohead fans) explode when i tell them there's going to be a new album in 10 days. Amazing.

Anyways. About the album. It's the first Radiohead album that i've sat down to listen to and not gotten bored half way through. With every other album i just sort of get to a point where i start thinking that they're trying too hard. I'd so far vote this as the best album of 2007 but granted i can't really think of anything else great that came out this year.

It's beautiful.

'Nude' God, this song contests for one of my all time favourites.

the more I listen to it, it reminds me more of a Wilco effort, back to basics, simple and more focused.

I will buy the vinyl box set if I really get into the album, because I am a "collector" of CDs and records, to a certain extent, but let's all remember that these guys charge $40 up, up, and up for concert tickets and have sold millions of records around the world. They are not hurting for money.

5 pounds here, and a lot of respect for letting the value of a work speak for itself.

I think its very different from their previous work in many ways. For those of you longing for a little more edge there will be another cd released with the discobox that might be alot harder.

Best of the year for me, but I am really biased.


Its grown on me alot, but I wouldnt jump out and say it is better than Kid A. Radiohead is a strange thing for me becuase I have such a personal connection to it yet many others do to. But I dont feel a connection with many others.

I am glad it's different. A great band should grow and progress, not just make the same music in the same formula over & over.

Stephen King tried the concept several years ago,

He would right a chapter you paid what you want, then he would post the next to download.

he said no one was paying so he pulled the plug on the story & downloads
