People are saying the name and track list have leaked via Amazon or something. I hope it's fake because if it's real then Radiohead have given their new album the shittest name ever.

Post a link or something my Googling brings up nothing and the Radiohead reddit is banning "spoilers" for a loving album tracklist.

WASTE HAS GONE DOWN IN THE PAST. IF YOU HAVE WAITED 5 YEARS FOR AN ALBUM, YOU CAN WAIT A LITTLE LONGER

hell it might come out on youtube,

Maybe you can trial a Google play music trial for a week and listen instantly. I have done that and cancelled instantly
Same with Spotify

Please use spoiler tags if you get the tracklist in the next hour

if that track list is accurate I'm going to die today considering true love waits is pretty much my fav song of all time

who am i kidding, they're going to redo it with bleeps and bloops and it'll be completely inferior to the live version, kinda like what they did to videotape

Won't comment further on it until we know it's legit, other than that album title sounds Radiohead as gently caress. Thanks for posting the info.

I've never really understood Radiohead's extreme popularity. I mean they're incredible and amazing and consistently innovative but all the other bands I'd describe with those adjectives, like Liars for example, have no real acceptance by the masses.

It's just weird to me that my favourite band is one of the most famous in the world when every other band I like receives no attention at all. How does Radiohead manage to release such good music and not have everyone consider it crap?

edited: to link a loving masterpiece that only has 9,668 views on youtube. I really don't understand it.

So. Radiohead don't know how to use hyphens.

I mean, obviously Thom doesn't. But there's arty bad grammar and then there's "no one at any point in the production chain noticed" bad grammar.

Very disappointing. If they'd made it available for pre-order I'd cancel mine.

Why do you care what other people like? Do you trust newspaper reviews, your own ears, your friends... what gets you into good music?

Critical acclaim is nice but sales mean nothing in this era. We might not even find out Radiohead's sales - they are self contained now.

It is worth mentioning that Radiohead peaked early popularity wise; Creep is still the top RH song on Spotify when I last looked.

How do you judge popularity? Likes on Facebook? "Daww, I love CREEP, I'm gonna like this band!"

The second part of your post is much more interesting to consider.

Really though "lots of sales != good music" as ever was thus

People who buy and sing along to to loving Adele albums will also buy this album today. Somehow this extremely good band has broken through and been liked and noticed by a lot of people who like bad music in general.

Half the people who buy this album today haven't even heard of a really famous bands like that are actually good like LCD Soundsystem. Radiohead has somehow broken through. I guess it was just creep being popular and then everyone just thought "Oh hey this is one of the bands I'm supposed to listen to."

Makes sense; the linear album is dead for most listeners in the age of shuffle and playlists, many Radiohead fans customarily come up with their own tracklisting.

Pixies played whole gigs in alphabetical order.

If it serves the music... it works so far. got it off Google anyway. I'm still buying vinyl. Four tracks in. Hope yall blaze up, the sonics are great, the bass, strings, Burn the Witch is the standard of production and holds true
