New Radiohead Album, ‘The King of Limbs,’ Will Hit Web on Saturday
By DAVE ITZKOFF
It’s the morning after the Grammy Awards, when the recording industry is still recovering from after-parties, after-after-parties and any pathogenic bacteria it might have picked up from Lady Gaga’s egg, so who would expect there to be any music news before Justin Bieber wakes up?
Radiohead, that’s who. That nonconformist British band opted to wait until immediately after the Grammys (and, in Britain, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards) to announce that its next album, “The King of Limbs,”will be available as a digital download on Saturday before its physical release in May.
But unlike its last album, “In Rainbows,” for which Radiohead allowed online customers to pay what they wished (if they wished to pay anything at all), “The King of Limbs” will not be sold at such flexible prices. On its Web site for the new album, thekingoflimbs.com, the band said that a digital version can be purchased in advance for $9 (for MP3 format) or $14 (for WAV format).
Radiohead is also offering what it calls a “newspaper album” release of “The King of Limbs” (a metaphor that was lost on at least one newspaper employee) which includes two 10-inch vinyl records and a compact disc, as well as “many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-color piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together.” This release is sold for $48 (for MP3 digital files) or $53 (for WAV), and will be shipped on May 9, the band said.

Great news indeed.
A few thoughts...
- I'm very excited.
- I hope there are also plans for a simple CD release.
- Why would you pre-order a digital download?
I've been ready for this for hours. Where is the goddamn leak?
I'm surprised there's only 1 thread on the front page of /mu/. I figured they would be ting bricks.
Also I miss IronMexican
Iron Mexican probably has been running through the streets screaming in excitement all day and therefore isn't able to sit down and post.

Physical release in May? Why is the American release 2 months later than the UK release?
May 9th is for the extravagant "newspaper album" release, CD comes out on March 29th for the US and March 28th everywhere else, digital download on February 19th.
Found a copy on mediafire spread out over 3 zip files, but I am afraid to download it cuz it might be animal pr0n or sumthin.
Edit: Nvm, it's just one file that's 63mb. Still not touching it.

My favorite part was when people started throwing a load of tiny rainbow-colored glowsticks from the back.
That and the whole thing.
