Oh man...I spent a few hours today listening to Radiohead, having taken a break from them for some time. I spent a lot of time online, looking up any info I could gather about the new album in anticipation. I was getting pretty frustrated...seeing as it has been a pretty hushed affair thus far.

But now this. I love you Sputnik.

Seriously, I don't mind sounding like a fan boy. The band deserves my blind faith seeing as they haven't put out a single album short of being fantastic since "The Bends". That's a track record that's hard to beat.

2011 is shaping up to be an awesome year in music. Already I've found a bunch of obscure acts that have really surprised me, and there's new stuff from Primus, Panda Bear, DOOM, Mars Volta, and possibly Outkast coming out. Not to mention, the live shows I'm seeing (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Glassjaw, Deftones/DEP, Women, Pixies (!!!), THE FLAMING LIPS, etc)...

Life is good.

@Scoot; yeah. I mean, they're my second favorite band (first being a toss up between Flaming Lips and The Mothers of Invention), and this news just made me jizz, but I'll still be sure to steer clear of unconditionally loving this album. I really doubt it'll be anything less than great though. I doubt it'll be as good as "In Rainbows" though, but who knows.

@salesman; Ah, I see what you mean. Haha, yeah. Maybe Radiohead were just waiting for Glassjaw to make their move...

It's a really great way of handling things. You think about it, and they have so much control over their music right now that its forcing everyone to experience albums in a manner that is almost completely phased out. Instead of some people leaking bits and pieces of the record and some people already familiar with the songs that premiered as live set pieces everyone will be forced to go in head first blind folded.

I'm just surprised they've kept things under wraps so well. Hell, they've played a handful of new songs and it's still argued whether or not these songs have a good chance of appearing on the album. Personally, I hope they don't feature these songs, and if they do, pull an "in Rainbows" and drastically overhaul them.

I think my excitement is even heightened by the fact that the band members are calling it "their best one yet". Now, I know many bands say that all the time, but I don't recall any quotes of the band saying that about any of their previous albums.

Assuming they keep the tracklist on lockdown for the next five days, this will be the least we've ever known about a Radiohead album prior to release date. They haven't toured, they haven't discussed the sound, they've been silent.

Well, it seems as if mods already took down the album listing for "The King of Limbs". Hopefully they don't decide to put it back up to coincide with a staffer review, it really wouldn't be fair, though I'm pretty sure it was taken down just because of troll ratings.

@Deviant: In the context of Sputnik being a community of reviewers, not just readers. I mean, from what I can gather from my time here I've seen just as many good reviewers who are users, as there are good staff and contributor reviewers. I think it should be an album that's fair game for any user to review. Staffers already get a good say in things (such as basically deciding what constitutes best new music, and what doesn't), and seeing as Sputnik is a community site that thrives mostly on user generated content, it wouldn't be all that fair to control the availability of an album to be reviewed based off of the assumption that users are inherently less skilled than other reviewers. Yes, there are certainly more sub-par user reviews, but that's of course because there are more users than staffers/contribs. I'm not gonna lie, I'm debating whether or not I'd like to take a crack at reviewing this thing soon after it's release, which of course makes me a little bias on the matter. But I'm certain there are other skilled users out there that would like the chance to have their work escape the shadow of staff/contributor dominated features.

But then again, it's hard to really complain. Sputnik is an interesting site. It comes off like a mix of Rateyourmusic and Pitchfork in my opinion. Very active user base used to create a large database of albums and reviews, along with an elite staff that help dictate the site's identity. I guess my point is, there really wouldn't be any reason for the mods to make this album unavailable for review until a staff member/contributor can write their review. The fact of the matter is, only the staff/contrib review will be featured and able to give away the label of "best new music". So even though I rant, it's really not a big deal. I'm just in a talkative mood.

Back to MvC3 though. NO SLEEP

The only reason it was taken down was because of idiotic troll ratings, and I was the one who reported it. If the album was continually added and then subsequently deleted by the mods because the same idiots kept 5'ing it again and again that's the users' fault. I think you misinterpreted what I said because there was truly no need to write as much as you did; as soon as the album is out the album page can remain up simple as that, it has nothing to do with staff or whether or not they are going to review it

SloppyMilkshake
February 15th 2011

Oh, yeah, sorry. I thought you were asking how I thought it was unfair to hold it back to coincide with a staff review. But yeah, I didn't think that was the reason. As soon as I saw the album up I saw a five star rating and a one star rating, so I knew it would get taken down (or at least, the ratings erased).

And I've been playing MvC3 all night. My brain is a little fried, so I needed to rant to jump start it, haha.

Radiohead may be one of the only big bands who are pretty smart when it comes to the relationship between the internet and music. I mean, hell, they're huge in large part because of the internet and they've always been active with the online community. So, any "revealed" track lists or anything not directly from them is probably fake, I'd say.
