My new album

[burendasan4]

So last night I done downloaded (part of?) Radiohead's new album In Rainbows, for which I paid 2 pounds (about 4 US dollars). On first listen, I must say that it's pretty good...and that says a lot because sometimes it takes me a few listens for a song/album to grow on me (Arcade Fire, anyone?). The songs are more mellow, which is precisely the kind of music I've taken a liking to lately. It's more electronic-ey than rock-ish (but a lot less electronic than the pseudo-techno on Thom Yorke's solo album). So those of you who prefer "real rock" with it's guitar riffs, this album may not be for you.
So now I think I would have been willing to pay more for the download, but that's ok because I am considering buying their actual CD (with extra songs) when it comes out early next year.

Wellll, I would recommend it, but then again, I haven't listened to a lot of Radiohead so I can't say for certain how it compares to stuff you might have heard in the past. You might find it too mellow...I don't know. I say you should get the download...you can pay for as much or as little as you want. It's kind of like a paid preview ;-)
