Why bother getting it via torrent when you can legally get it free from their site?

Radiohead are a pretty cool band, I haven't gotten any of their albums yet because I was put off by the fact that their sound is so ambiguous and there are better lite rock bands (in my opinion) out there, like Keane and kent and I already have lots of bands to listen to but I'm gonna check this album out for sure.

Do you consider Keane a band, really?

Alright, Radiohead, Travis, etc invented Keane (although Keane did form before Coldplay, suggested Coldplay the name Coldplay, and Keane's pianist was asked if he wanted to join Coldplay) but truth is, the actual quality of Keane's songs and b-sides is incredible. There are other bands that make a ****load of music but you can't say all of their songs are good, most Keane fans though like every Keane song (except for maybe a dodgey cover or two). Radiohead are amazing but can't say that all of their songs are.

Thank you for your opinion.

p.s. I think all radiohead songs are amazing, b-sides included.

Meh, I don't like Pablo Honey at all really but there's not a single track I don't like any of their other albums.

I actually really like the beginning of that song (with the bass riff). There are worse songs on PH.

True, to be honest I just said that because it was the only one I could remember how it goes, didn't wanna risk saying another track incase it was actually decent.

It was a bad example in other words.

Just heard the cd. Ladies and gentlemen, we have found out the best album of the year.

Bodysnatchers is amazing.

At this moment in time, having listened to it two and a half times, I'm pretty disappointed. The songwriting doesn't seem to be up to the usual standard, relying on quirky sounds a lot of the time to cover up for that. My favourites are probably Bodysnatchers, Faust Arp and Reckoner.

The CD is okay. I'm not a huge fan of very mellow music, except I did like Radiohead's style of music. But this one seems too mellow, and too slowed down. I can't really complain since I got it for free, though.

Anyway, their best song is Bodysnatchers by far. All I Need, Faust Arp and House of Cards are pretty good, too. I'll listen to it a few more times to see if I get into a few more songs.

Agreed. This has to be the album of the year, like I've said before.

15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Reckoner, House of Cards, Jigsaw Falling Into Place :Bow: (Y)

I guess my favourite song so far is Jigsaw Falling Into Place, but overall it's a very good album.
about it beng kind of mellow, I'm definitely ok with it since it's a trademark of the band and it never stopped their music from being great.
it's pretty intense and also somewhat intimate...I'm loving it (Y)

I can't get into it after several listens sadly, I like the High & Dry or Creep sorta stuff by Radiohead but not this, even though I like other lite rock bands. Anyways, their old record company EMI, what a bunch of tossers, they did this same thing sort of to Scottish band Idlewild recently:

EMI versus Radiohead: a pot of simmering tension at end of In Rainbows



First, competing box-set releases. Now, a mysterious yanked advert. The behind-the-scenes feud between the label and its former charges is bubbling to the surface

A screen grab of the Radiohead ad: 'New Album 'Rainbow' now available as Boxset inc. CD USB, Digital'


Tension between Radiohead and EMI was highlighted again today when the band's former label removed a misleading ad for the group's back catalogue from the internet.Until the end of last week, anyone typing in Radiohead into Google would be met with a paid-for ad at the top of the search results reading: "Radiohead - New Album 'Rainbow' now available as boxset".
Despite appearances, the ad led not to the special "discbox" edition of In Rainbows but to a website where EMI subsidiary Parlophone is selling a box-set of the seven albums Radiohead recorded while they were still signed to the label.

<a href="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/click.ng/Params.richmedia=yes&spacedesc=mpu&site=Mu sic&navsection=9685&section=122385&cou ntry=can&region=on&city=chatham&bandwi dth=broadband&rand=1412318&tile=1412318"> <img src="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/image.ng/Params.richmedia=yes&spacedesc=mpu&site=Mu sic&navsection=9685&section=122385&cou ntry=can&region=on&city=chatham&bandwi dth=broadband&rand=1412318&tile=1412318" width="300" height="250" border="0" alt="Advertisement"></a>

That the two box-sets are coming out at the same time in December and at the same price had already led some fans to believe that EMI is trying to compete with its former charges' independent release (http://music.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2207489,00.html). While EMI has denied this, the ad (visible in a screengrab from Friday, above) raises new questions about the label's motives.Attempts to ascertain the identity of the company behind the ad by Guardian Unlimited Music met with little success. Phone calls and emails to EMI's subsidiary Parlophone about the ad were not returned last week. Finally, a cryptic, one-sentence email arrived from EMI publicist Chris Latham yesterday.
"Parlophone were aware of the data source glitch and removed the link immediately," it read. When asked to confirm that this meant that the label had indeed placed the Google Ad and then removed it, the company spokesman twice declined any further comment or clarification.
This afternoon, Radiohead responded to Parlophone's removal of the ad. "We accept that it was a genuine error and that it has been rectified," the band's spokesman wrote in an email to Guardian Unlimited Music.
This may draw a line under what seemed like an escalation of a behind-the-scenes feud between EMI and Radiohead. Relations between the two have been frosty since the band, who fulfilled their contract with the label with 2003's Hail to the Thief, decided to not to resign with them. Days after the band decided to release the CD of their new album In Rainbows with independent label XL last month, EMI announced it was offering the rockers' output from 1993 to 2003 for sale as a seven-CD box-set.
It soon became clear that the back catalogue release was put together without the involvement of the band, who have distanced themselves from it. ("The band haven't released it," band spokesman Murray Chalmers said. "The band aren't in contract to EMI anymore.") The EMI box-set will be sent out at the same time as In Rainbows "discbox" box-set in December and at the same price, too.
While fans have accused EMI of releasing its Radiohead box-set as "retribution" for the band going elsewhere, the label has denied this.

Radiohead rules, the new album is the best album of the year, EMI is a bitch really.

Btw, I don't quite agree with you treble41 there. I could get into their latest albums. Still, I can't get into OK Computer.
