Once again - terrible album artwork ... it's not their forte is it?

I thought the OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac booklets were very cool. 

Anyway, this is great news. I'm very curious to hear what the album sounds like.

The Ok Computer artwork is stunning. But perhaps the quality of the music distorts our judgement.

I like Radiohead's artwork from OK Computer on, but this cover looks strange indeed. Let's see how the music fits it.

I've been very loyal to Radiohead, buying every one of their albums, and also paying a standard price for the In Rainbows download.

However, I will think long and hard about this one. To be honest, I have found on every album since Kid A that, when I do play them (rarely now), I am only picking out about two or three tracks which I regard as excellent. The rest are, to these ears, very ordinary and almost throwaway.

We'll see.

I am curious myself whether we're going to have a review on Saturday (or maybe more, why not).

Just yesterday I thought "Radiohead should release a new album soon".

I'm looking forward and thanks for the heads up.

Also, I like what they did with the artwork on previous albums.  I thought In Rainbows was really good.  The OK Computer and Kid A booklets were creative.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The covers of the CD's suit the band well I think.

Curious as to what a "Newspaper Album" means. I assume (through the use of oxo-degradeable plastic) that it is today's news and tomorrow's fish'n'chip wrapper. Not sure I like the idea of coughing up £30 for something that will fall to pieces in 3 months (leaving nothing behind but water, carbon dioxide and biomass).
What?

I just assumed it would be in a sleeve that was recycled or something like that, similar to Serj Tankian's solo album. But I may wait until I see picutres of it before ordering the full thing

Can't be worse than In Rainbows. And the cover is excellent, you strange people.

I think the album artwork is interesting.  Maybe they'll move even beyond Kid A, and for sure In Rainbows, with experimentation. Any case I can't help but pre-order it Smile
