I'll have to finish the album before I can make a completely objective decision, but right now I like it a lot.
Well? What do you think?
BTW, I have heard reports that they've sold 1.2 million so far. I feel like this way of selling albums (digitally with price choice) may actually catch on. I was very skeptical of it from a marketing standpoint at first.

i've heard reports the average prise people paid (yes you could choose nothing) was £4 just under $8.
if thats how much a radiohead album goes for can you imagine how much people would pay for lesser bands?

But I see your point, I can't see Britney Spears albums hitting that average price...

Any of you that had to send email to "downloadInRainbows@waste.uk.com" in the last 48 hours for a new download link?....that's my client....I set up that mailbox 😏
Waste are the merchandising arm set up by Radiohead, and I've been doing their IT for around 7 years....their MD's kids and mine went to the same school at that time, my wife and her (yes, the MD is a female and was originally a school chum of Thom's) were chatting in the playground, she'd been messed around by some "IT consultancy" and was up against it, and the wife said ....well, I expect you can guess the rest.
And before you ask, no, I don't follow their music, and no, I can't get you a free anything. 😛
But Radiohead help pay my mortgage, so there !! 😲
