I just read somewhere that they've been averaging 4L per sale, which quite a lot for a band to make on an individual record.

For the longest time Ok Computer was my number 1 but I think just taking into consideration how much more I've listened to Kid A in recent years, moreso than OKC, that that should probably be my number 1 now.

1. Kid A
2. Ok Computer
3. Hail To The Thief
4. The Bends
5. In Rainbows
6. Amnesiac
7. Pablo Honey

Songs are really tough. I think almost every Radiohead song (except for a bunch on Pablo Honey) have at some point been one of my favorite songs... BUT the all time greats must be:

1. Paranoid Android
2. Street Spirit
3. Lucky
4. How to Disappear Completely
5. Arpeggi
6. Idioteque
7. Exit Music
8. There There
9. Pyramid Song
10. Nude
11. Creep
12.How I Made My Millions
13. Life In A Glass House
14. Wolf At The Door
15. Dollars and Cents
16. Follow Me Around
17. In Limbo
18. Videotape
19. 2+2=5
20. The Tourist

This site btw http://www.gigwise.com/news/37670/ex...of-in-rainbows is claiming 1.2 million "sold" already.

Also, more commentary on the new album, please. To spur some discussion on that front: my favorite song on this one at the moment is Nude. Even given my earlier comment regarding Nude, I think it's strong, I just wish it ended differently. House of Cards seems pretty damn disposable, and Videotape could be cooler as well.

I'm not sure I have that much to add since my first impressions.

I can say though that Reckoner is sounding better and better.

That Arpeggi and Nude are still by far my two favorites and that I think they are amazing.

Videotape is good cause it's such good writing that it couldn't be anything less, but I'm still torn over it and miss the climax and emotion from the live version.

In fact the whole RH community is going crazy over this from what I can gather and some people are even replacing the album version with live versions...

But I can see the other argument too. That epic is getting old and there is only so many times you can do building up ending with the usual emotional crescendo.
Sometimes restraint is good too and perhaps here more in core with what really is, compared to HTTT, a pretty minimal production.
After all Radiohead wouldn't be Radiohead if they didn't keep evolving.

Bodysnatchers and Jigsaw I think are really good too and on 15 step I really love the "kids voices" parts.

How do you get this to work? I went to the site and put in 0. 00 as my payment amount and clicked pay. Now nothing is happening wtf?

I just tried it again and I had to refresh it 3 or 4 times, after it finished loading, before I got to the "new customer" or "returning customer" step.

Probably all the traffic.

I still think it's one of the better songs on the album, but I think I'd really like it but for the 1 minute section where the percussion drops out in the middle.

Faust Arp, at least at the beginning, has a sort of Elliott Smith vibe to it that I find appealing.

After 3 listens Reckoner is my favorite song.

I think from Weird Fishes on this album is amazing but I still can't get into the first three tracks which has dragged it down overall. I find that kind of interesting because most people seem to love Bodysnatchers and Nude.


Also can someone find me a link where I can download (legally) some live Radiohead concert tapes or anything with a decent sound quality. I am used to listening to taper pulls from concerts but the Radiohead ones I have heard have been bad, almost unlistenable.

1. OKC
2. In Rainbows
3. Amnesiac
4. The Bends
5. Kid A
6. Hail to the Thief.

I know I'm going against the grain here a little.
