This is pretty interesting... the discbox looks cool. The pay what you want is :confused:

[theamapros]

i love the "pay what you want",

leave it up to radiohead to do something like that...

although, i'd probably pre-order the discbox,

i like having hard copies of the music

[greentalks43]

I think this idea is brilliant. They can afford to do this and they will not lose any money doing it this way. Radiohead has such a following that many people will shell out the money for the special boxset.

[diewhitegirls]

Incidentally, you can pay nothing. Just enter $0.0

[chronoaug]

The disc box is cool but $80 is a bit much for me. I can't wait though.

Bought the discbox, but quick tip, if you put 0.00 in, you get put into a queue for the download, so try to throw a dollar in or something if you're getting in on this.

[Fookums]

Eh, the discbox is worth it if you're a really big radiohead fan since it comes with so much extra stuff, the $80 is actually kinda worth it.

However, while I like them, I'm not that much of a fan. Dunno what I'd pay though. ... And that's such a great idea (the pay whatever you want thing)

[Leonard Leroy]

The discbox catered to my consumer whore self, so that was bought without any hesitation really.

[Servo2000]

Radiohead aren't actually the first to do this "pay what you want" thing, although obviously they're the first ones with some sort of wide-spread appeal that are.

[kirbenvost]

That discbox looks really cool, but too expensive for me. Too bad they don't have a cd-only version. But I'm sure they'll have a special edition cd when it come out in stores.

dead people music

This is genius. Im gonna send them $8 or $10, I haven't decided which amount.

I don't know how you sleep at night worrying about that.

nobody said life was easy, I got "Everything In Its Right Plaice" on permaloop and I'm cross posting this to honestforum for advice as we speak.

for those of you who read the wall street journal, there was a small article written about this topic. I guess the average total amount people have donated is roughly $10 (who is averaging out all those $0 people?). The nice thing for Radiohead is that apparently it costs them roughly $3.64 per "cd" sold. With all the generous people, they're still making about 6.25.

I'd like to know what that $3.64 is comprised of.

Since these are totally new waters, in terms of accessability and international scope, I can't see a figure like $3.64 holding true past its first month on sale.

It came out an hour ago, and my lord it's glorious. A glorious, glorious album if there was ever one.

[Aeros]

I just got the e-mail 2 seconds ago. Downloading as I write this.

[thelaststarfighter]

man!!

i just registered for it today.

and it's clear that they're going down the list when sending out the email.

the first blogger post about recieving the album was about five minutes past midnight,

and its two and i still haven't recieved a fucking link!

but its been upped to rapidshare for about a half an hour, so i'm going to break and download it. i paid for it anyways.

edit: just got the link. 2:47 -5gmt

[Leonard Leroy]

First run through, Reckoner is my favorite song.

[mrbrightsside]

just got mine!

listen now

[Leonard Leroy]

I'm trying not to gush too much, but to be honest: The album is glorious and I haven't felt like wanting to die because nothing could be better in so long. I feel young again. I am young, but I haven't felt such simple bliss in a while. Fucking Radiohead.

[yuljo]

Listening now, so far so good.

[ndmhxc]

holy fucking christ, this album is awesome! radiohead reinterprets their sound, yet lets you know that its still radiohead. yet again. i give it a 10 out of 9 with an extra point for the amazing option of choosing your own price. you pay what the music is worth for you. i paid 20 bucks.

[Leonard Leroy]

Gone through the CD 4 times already. Hah.

[thelaststarfighter]

this is unbelievable.

all i need is so epic.

i echo the sentiments of everyone in here in saying that i havent heard an album this good in soooo long.

pensive, moody, intensive, emotive, sweeping.

everything i hoped it would be and more.

[Leonard Leroy]

I don't think I'm overstepping when I say that this is my favorite Radiohead album, taking over Kid A. But I also think, objectively, it's their best album.

The only thing I have against it are that it isn't as cohesive, or arranged as nicely as the past albums. But as a collection of songs, I really can't find any weak points. I could listen to any of these songs with pleasure.

If they wanted to bow out with this album, it would be a way to go.

this album is amazing
