BTW, "what you wish" can be $0.

That bad, eh?

No one has heard it yet, not even the critics.

That's surprising as their albums since Kid A have been leaked onto P2P networks at least a month before release. I am a bit curious as to how this sounds as they were the first band I really liked, though my enthusiasm for their music has waned quite a bit since then.

Let's just say that I'm not a Radiohead fan.

If I enter a negative amount, will they send me money to listen to it?

Karma Police, arrest this man...

Does it suck? That is to say, is it like Radiohead's other albums?

In that sense it sucks so much more than Hail to the Thief did. Thanks mostly to Tobin-esque drums.

How many of you have actually heard Radiohead post Pablo Honey?

i just dont understand, who would buy their own music when you can burn it, or download it.  Makes no sense.  CD sales have dropped since like 2001.  How do they even determine the chart positions. 

But like I already said, I like CDs.  I think downloading music straight onto an iPod is crazy.

whatever.  they're just trying new strategies, good luck to them.

They will be lucky to get 3$ and a cracker jack box. Who would pay for something they can get free?

I don't know, honest people who understand a day's work and what it costs. 

Why tip a waitress when you don't have to leave anything?

I don't know, ask the Europeans.

They get every nickel paid for the download. As opposed to the nickel they get for every CD sold.

It is not *I* who am crazy. It is I who am *mad*!!!

I read somewhere that the average paid for the download (on the first day) was GBP5.00
