Radiohead don’t follow the crowd. You’re supposed to announce an album’s title and release date well ahead of its actual appearance on the shelves, then drop a few singles and give the same answers to the same questions for every media organisation that puts a microphone in your face.
Radiohead announced on Monday that their new album would be called The King of Limbs and it would be out on Saturday – tomorrow. Then they went and released it a day early. They’ve got history of this sort of stunt, 2007′s In Rainbows was an internet exclusive for three months. Buyers paid whatever they wanted – you could legally get it for free – to get a copy.
I’ve been trying to get onto the Radiohead site and buy The King of Limbs but it’s down right now. Mediafire would never do this to me. Buy the new album HERE, hopefully you’ll have more luck than I did with it.
