Downloading now... s l o w l y

 

[The Groke]

Yep, got the email this morning. Mind you I only ordered it last night...maybe they're working their way backwards in the email list??

Tis now on my iPod

Doubt it - I ordered mine the same day it was announced and I got my download at about 9.00am U.A.E time - 6.00GMT

Maybe.

First impressions so far, am only partially into it but there's some very good tunes. Bit of electro idiotech style in the first track. Track two is fairly rocktastic, a downbeat one with strings on track three, more lively funky melodic track four (which seems more like single material)

Well worth the £0.01 imho

 

[bighands]

just woke up to find my email waiting.


listening now. so far the first track sounds pretty unspectacular but theres 9 more to go

Today I shall be raping oink

Why don't you pay something for it if you're such a fan?

 

[Crispy]

If I cared about the sound quality, I'd be going to oink too - after buying the sanctioned download first. 160kbps MP3 is hardly Hi-fi.

 

[stroober]

me got it toooo 1st listen in progress

 

[skyscraper101]

The strings on track 6 'FAUST ARP' are well nice. Great tune.

 

[girasol]

Just downloaded, pressed 'Play' on the first tune 10 secs ago!

Exciting!

Err, and how's it going to be any higher quality there then?

 

[Crispy]

Ah true, today it won't be. Unless the CD's in people's hands already. But when the CD's out, you'll be able to get it in FLAC.

Meanwhile - Chip a few quid in eh firky, there's a nice man

The CDs not out yet.

 

[salem]

Can't get the website to work, it won't let me get beyond the bit where you put in how much your willing to pay (I thought you'd choose what to pay after downloading?).

Does anyone have a direct link they can send me?

 

[girasol]

I like 'Weird Fishes', giving it a second listen (the tune, haven't got past track 4 yet!)

 

[ivebeenhigh]

meh the in rainbows site is down, ateaseweb is down. anyone wanna throw it up on to yousendit?

 

[rollinder]

the NME's first opinions

They're playing it on NME radiotonight

This track sounds like coldplay so far

 

[Crispy]

Hmm. finished listening now.
Underwhelmed.
I'll try again...

 

[Ned Pointsman]

There's no standout track to hold the attention, which is a problem, with a few exceptions they're all fairly similar, bit like HTTT it all blends into one thing, unlike HTTT it's not outright shit.

I think they're firmly in REM territory now.

 

[david dissadent]

Had this been released normaly I reckon it would have been their biggest seller. It is very accessable and melodic. That is almost a problem, its too easy to listen too. Its a great album but somehow its just not quite got it.

Does feel a tad like a B sides album.

I really loved alot of Hail to the Thief. Opinions differe I guess.

 

[neonwilderness]

So far I like Reckoner and Videotape. Nude sounds alright, but I've heard better versions of it, the rest sounds fairly average. I think I'll reserve judgment until I've listened to it a few more times though.

Me too, it jostles with the bends for 2nd favorite rh album for me.

 

[Ned Pointsman]

I've never understood the 'bends camp' it's just a very, very, very good rock album rather than anything spectacular. Maybe it's an age thing ?

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MASSIVE ENDING ON NUDE, I'LL TELL YOU WHERE, ON THE END OF A FUCKING VIDEOTAPE IN A SHOEBOX UNDER MY BED, THAT'S WHERE.

I'm going to splice the MPIE ending onto it, dead crude like.

 

[david dissadent]

Not as edgy or as rocky as Id like but it really is growing on me. Perhaps the second half to The Eraser/ In Rainbows double act like Amnesiac was to Kid A.

I do think they have a loud edgy album left in them.

 

[Firky]

meh the in rainbows site is down, ateaseweb is down. anyone wanna throw it up on to yousendit?

atease is a twatful place, the bloke (adrian) used to nick news off me

HTTT is class but it gave 'them' what they wanted. Kid A and IR is them doing their own thing. Artistic freedom...

 

[editor]

So I thought I'd join in with the conversation here and download the album and sling the 'head a few quid. But the buggering site is Kaput and has been for hours.

Anyone want to email the thing my way?
