Is this the new Radiohead album? If so what's all this about all the tracks being ripped into mp3 already?? :o

i have no idea what this thread is supposed to be about as i'm not a Radiohead fan *dont shoot me* but this one ickle post looked lonely so i thought i'd reply :D

the album is called "Hail to the Thief" and "I Will" is one of the songs on it. :D and yes, all 14 tracks were leaked yesterday, which is going to make it awfully difficult to not spoil it for myself. :roll:

I only asked since I haven't got any radiohead albums but there was a big kerfuffle about it all, and I wanted to know what was going on :D

this is my first view of the new board since its been up and running!!

 

LOVE IT!! YAYAYY !!!!!

kerfuffle hehehe

I Will is a beautiful song. Yes, I caved into temptation but it's okay because it feels so good. :P

Is it true that the nicked songs are not the final versions, or are they?

No, they're not the final versions. These are the unmastered versions of the songs. They still sound amazing! :)

here's Jonny Greenwood's take on it:

So it turns out the leaked music is a stolen copy of early, unmixed edits and roughs - so we're kind of pissed off about it, to be honest.

 

I see it like this (this is just me): there's napster-style file sharing of released music, then there's early internet distribution of what we at least consider to be a finished body of work. Then there's this - work we've not finished, being released in this sloppy way, ten weeks before the real version is even available. It doesn't even exist as a record yet.....

 

So yes, we're annoyed - the songs are good on the recordings, which you can hear. But we worked on them after this point until we were happy with them. This is why we're pissed off - we didn't give up on them in February (which is what you're hearing) and it's just a shame that, to your ears, we did.

 

So of course people will still download them and hear them, I can understand the temptation. It's not you lot I'm pissed off about, it's just the situation I guess. It's stolen work, fer fuck's sake.

 

What do you all think ? I know it'll come out for real eventually, and it'll all be fine, but I though you all might as well know what's in my head....

 

That's all. I thankew.

that's the reason i'm trying so hard to avoid downloading it.

 

(not that it matters since i've heard almost all of them live anyway)

I've downloaded 4 songs.... :shrug:

ive just been listening to 'I will' by the Beatles.. thats good too.

;)

was i the only one a tad freaked out by "i will"
