New Radiohead album

[Shane G.]

I know a lot of people here dig Radiohead, so I will act as a messenger.

Here goes:

Radiohead will release their sixth album 'Hail To The Thief' on Parlophone on June 9.

This will be preceded by the single 'There There' on May 26.

'Hail To The Thief' features 14 tracks and was recorded in Oxfordshire and Los Angeles. It was produced by Nigel Godrich and Radiohead, and mixed by Nigel Godrich.


The track listing is:

2 + 2 = 5
Sit Down. Stand Up.
Sail To The Moon.
Backdrifts.
Go To Sleep.
Where I End And You Begin.
We Suck Young Blood.
The Gloaming.
There There.
I Will.
A Punch-Up at a Wedding.
Myxamatosis.
Scatterbrain.
A Wolf At The Door.

The group will play a short tour of the UK and Ireland in May. The seven dates were announced at the weekend through their website www.radiohead.com , and sold out immediately. The tour begins in Dublin on May 17.

I can't wait!!!!!

[DavidAV]

Awesome

[unclezoso]

only 77 more days

Track listing couldn't be better and so i've got great expectations for the album. i'm hoping it to be their best so far. signs are good...

what really makes me happy is that "i will" is included. such an emotional song

only thing that bugs me is the tittle. too simple maybe? you expect something cleverer from a band that's previous albums are called amnesiac and kid a.

"hail to the thief"... gotta think about it. maybe i like it tomorrow

[GeraldTheMouse]

I'm sure there will be some sort of twisted artwork on the cover to make up for the title.

[Simon]

Yeah. They don't disappoint easy...

[Rockhg89]

Hmmm..... i think i'm gonna check that out. I never got into Radiohead- but i'll definitly check the new album out.

Radiohead also announced this today:

Another Radiohead announcement:

We've got a plan.
We need your help.

We're looking for moving pictures.
Can you make moving pictures?

Time is short.
This is what you have to do.

1. Take one of the live MP3's of a Radiohead track.
2. Make some moving pictures to it (can be anything: live action, animation, graphics etc).
3. Make it at least 10 seconds and at most a song's length (although we prefer shorter).

OR... Have you already made a short film that would benefit from an airing?

Hmmm... I think I'll make one.

[hodjpokol]

hey, True Love Waits isn't on there. What the hell?

[thorin13]

eh. it was already on the live album.

as for the new album i'm glad sail to the moon made the cut. can't wait till they come to the states.

[unclezoso]

The album has leaked. It's amazing.

[uncletony0028]

Radiohead has done it again...Hail to the Thief radiates music-in-art........1 word RAINDROPS <--- i could listen to that all day long and not get sick of it

thank you radiohead

[Shane G.]

I'm actually downloading the tracks that have leaked, and then listening to them when I get the finished album. As the leaked tracks are different mixes, and are even missing some overdubs.

[fixxlevy]

It better be more interesting than Amnesiac.

[GeraldTheMouse]

According to Johnny, the leaked tracks may be from as far back as the first day of mixing-- so they'll probably sound very little like the album released in June.
