Quite cool but does anybody know if they`re recording new stuff at this moment, it will be cool to hear some new stuff and to see them tour again

[str84ever]

It's not actually being released by Radiohead, they split with EMI a while ago.

Still cashing in on them i see.

[CaptAwesome15]

Why would someone rebuy these especially since Radiohead isn't with EMI anymore? And thats assuming everyone has The Bends and OK Computer. (If you don't go buy them now) Those videos will be on youtube in given time anyway...

[stradivari310]

I really want this, but I don't want to support EMI...

[AnimatedHand]

Looks good, but I'd rather they bring out a new album...

[InMyHead_x]

God, how dare EMI still milk the money outta them! Definitely will not be buyin that...

[\m/(-_-)\m/]

If you don't wanna support EMI just download it off the internet.

[billruption26]

**** this, im sure radiohead will make a statement or something putting EMI in its place for taking advantage of them and urge their fans not to get this.

[LeadSalad182]

Thom Yorke is an overrated tool. I saw that he hates people that want him to play creep at their shows, and he wants to be recognized for his other songs as well. I think the solution is to write better songs, idiot

[revolution1251]

Aye everyone is crying about supporting EMI fair enough but this sounds like a mint idea, it's not like Radiohead will be against people buying it, just against the record company doing it in the first place.

[Soma3009]

aha well those are the only Radiohead albums I like so at least those EMI punks got good taste.

[Nightwatchman10]

WTF DO EMI THINK THEYRE DOING FFS

[grnday1236]

hahaha EMI are financially butt-raping radiohead. too funny.

Actually, the reason that he doesn't like playing that song is simply because it was never meant to be an anthem and people misunderstood the meaning behind it. If I wrote a song and it became popular based on the fact that everyone thought it meant something that it didn't that would piss me off and make me not want to play it too.

[EdarotagV335]

i would like some milk from the milkman's wife's tits

[trent_slatter]

Cool. So I guess I'll be downloading this since I doubt Radiohead actually give a shit about it.

yes

Erm... Sure, it's a clever commercial trick on the side of EMI, but it's also a really cool release, right? What's the problem if both parties gain from this? If you were still lacking any album by Radiohead (except IR), would you also never buy it but rather download it just for the sake of not supporting a major record label? This kind of logic is idiotic. What's the use of opposing a major record label in the first place? EMI are going to be around for a long long time, anyway, getting out a big load of shitty music customer rip offs, but you may skip those. In the mean time, let's just agree on how this is a cool release. If I felt The Bends and Pablo Honey were better albums, I might go and get all three re-issues. For now, I'll just be considering getting the OK Computer re-release in some discount store.

Oh yeah, and as a final thought: have you ever properly compared original CD quality (which is a whole step down from LP or DVD-A already) to MP3s? And where's the total experiences of music and artwork that comes with buying an album, if you only download the MP3s? Go and get educated by watching Steven Wilson's Insurgentes documentary!
