Hey just noticed: 4 years ago, on this date, I attended my only Radiohead show (which I hope was only the first), in Montreal, Aug. 15th 2003! Just wanted to share.

“New Radiohead album released in 2008″ Like this it looks like its already released in 2008 (2008 being another place)

Why aren’t you guys pissed. Thom feels he can lecture us with his political views, but he can’t put out an album in a timely manner?
Get Pissed!

that’s good. after xmas

Half a decade! I know the eraser was out last year, but thats still not authentic Radiohead. And besides waiting this long for an album most fans already heard live. Well at least the majority of the record. Sigh…Whatever still looking foward to it. (bastards)

I’m in burden of a Radiohead breakdown, why would they post on their official site “We’re nearly there”?? I can’t take this new news as true till it’s posted in dead air by one of the members. wherever you are Thom, whatever you’re doing, don’t do this to us anymore! you talented bastard…

Bad news, really… But the songs are and will remain great even if only played live!!!!!

lost for words

Why don’t they post this on their blog? Just to make us angry?

“I can wait for its release in 2008.”
Radiohead is my favorite band of alltime!
And I will buy CD’s not a goddamn free mp3 for
torrent or anywebsite. Thom, Johny, Ed,
Collin, Phil I very love you guys and love
your music too! Nice years for 07-08.

we’re taking about Radiohead…so whenever they feel the time is right…..is…fine by me

Fuck, I’m killing myself

Fuck! This makes me angry and everyone angry, can’t they just leak it to internet and then give it to a label or something, man. It also makes me depressed.

Dear God, I’m left exasperated by the pathetic sense of entitlement that “fans” are evincing here. Radiohead are the artists, Radiohead will put the album out when Radiohead feel it is ready. Anyone who truly respects them would surely respect that. No cast-iron promise was ever made on a 2007 release, and I for one am grateful simply that there will be a further album relatively soon. If people are pissed off with the “delay” I suggest they find their own lyrical insight and musical talent. But given the lack of a basic grasp of the English language displayed in some of these vitriolic comments, that may prove difficult.

Send a nice “Fuck You” to the record labels and release it under your own label, Radiohead. i can wait a little longer for the album, but the pressure is building up already.

Dammit, dammit, dammit…

You know what they should do in the time between the release of the new album? Give us a fucking live album. I Might Be Wrong was good…but 8 songs just doesn’t cut it…

And “The Eraser” was a great album…though I see it more as a stopgap.

Oh, and “15 Step” is my vote for the first single. Just saying.

I’m stunned by the tone of some of these posts – why do so many people feel like Radiohead owe them something? They are not obliged to release anything at all – they are quite entitled never to release anything ever again. If i was Thom Yorke reading this nonsense i would probably opt to hold off releasing the record until 2009. Just to teach you all a lesson.

Many of you are right. We are owed nothing… I made the mistake of watching the news today and the violence makes me feel uneasy that I care about waiting for an album- I need a hobby

I WANTED TO GIVE TO MY GIRLFRIEND THE RECORD IN HER BIRTHDAY… AW MY FUCKIN BULLSHIT!

2008? I HAVE TO WAIT A LONG LONG TIME!

BUT ANYWAY.. I STILL LOVE RADIOHEAD.

i wish i could stop liking them. we’ve all heard the tracks. i guess its good they need to promote but, i wish they would have handled all this record label, contract shit before. so THIS didnt happen. they dont care about us. they dont care about themselves either. we’ve all heard the tracks, we know what is coming. oh well.

waitings hard!

this is EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

uggghhh. i need new material

Idiots!!! radiohead is not some musical slave that has to submit to all ur demands.. u dont own them… its a band get it.. reality? … Im a bit curious about the label issue and wether its gonna be a big time corporate label or something actually decent …. but they are big responsible ppl and can make that decision themselves. what i or anyone else thinks is a dumb subject
I think in general i tempt to like bands or ppl or co workers etc whom are aweare of the consiquences of thier actions and whwat they promote in their lifestyle and what they give out but it is never my job to tell them what they can do.. i can only point out what I think ….

You may not like it…but it’s just my opinion based on what I’ve learned in the industry.

Those of you saying that Radiohead has enough money and should just release the record on their own obviously don’t understand the distribution system. Radiohead doesn’t need a record label in the traditional sense as they have already recorded the record, mixed it and presumably mastered it on their own with their own money. What they need is a pressing and distribution deal to get the record into stores.

When you’re as huge as they are trying to get CDs into stores all around the world is a headache and they and their management realize that they need someone with the right relationships to do it for them (i.e. a label). Though they’ve sold a shit load of CDs in their day, the royalties that they receive after recoupment aren’t nearly as much as you think they are (especially divided by 5) and though digital sales are on the rise, they currenlty only account for 2-8% of the marketplace. Normally it takes a year to work a record after it’s been finished (marketing, distribution, servicing radio, etc.) so just be glad that Radiohead are successful enough to cut that time down to 5 or 6 months because of their proven fanbase. Besides that, Christmas is the worst time to release a new CD so waiting for the 1st quarter of 2008 just makes the most sense.

As for them taking the personal time…don’t you think they’ve earned it? They’re in their 40s with families and wanted to take time off. Just be glad that they’re coming back. I want a new record and subsequent tour from them as much as the next fan, but we’ll just have to be patient and wait.

We’ll all be disappointed by this album, the expectations are far too high now !

This will just be another HTTT, nothing more, they can’t just can’t do anything more than HTTT

They’re over (sadly)

People have a right to complain, so to all the Radiohead ass kissers who are saying “be greatful that they’re still cranking out music,” you’re missing the point. If indeed the reports are true and Radiohead are awaiting a record company to offer them a contract, well, that’s irritating to hear considering all the bravado Thom Yorke has been giving it about “sticking it” to the record industry and that he was entertaining alternative methods of releasing the album so that he wouldn’t have to be dependant on the “old school” method of the music industry. It’s the hypocrasy that gets me pissed off here. And this is what happens when a group makes an album without having to meet deadlines and whatnot. In the end Radiohead are their own worst enemies. This record has been in the works for how bloody long now? Two years? They’ve given themselves waaaaay to much time to live in their own universe and tinker and re-tinker with songs over and over again. That’s a danger every artist has when they create music, or art or literature, if they’re left alone with it for too long once its initially done they’ll keep tinkering with it ad nauseum, and may even wind up ruining their art because in their heads its never good enough. But on the same token, I’m not suprised this happened. Thom was looking to do something different, but other band members (particularly Johnny liked and wanted to be working under a record contract because it established a schedule that they would have had to adhere to. Which in turn would get the album out in a timely fashion. I guess Radiohead had a vote and as a group they voted to get a record contract. The crappy thing is they shoulda just got one first and then made the album as opposed to the other way around. I’m all for Radiohead bucking the system and being unconventional, but in this case its the fans who got dicked over having to wait YET AGAIN for the album to come out in 2008. It better be January fellas, cuz this is just ridiculous. They don’t owe us anything? Well, as long as they’re spending a bucket load of money to make music, that means they have an intended audience in mind, thus, they do owe their fans music, that’s their job. So I’m tired of reading “they don’t owe us anything.” If they don’t, well then they should screw the music industry all together, get 9 to 5 jobs and get together on the weekends and jam in someone’s basemtn or garage, until that happens they DO owe their fans music. sheesh

Has everyone forgot that none of the band or band management have confirmed this, and if you go on Dead Air Space, its says ‘Back In September’ surely if this news is true they wouldn’t have left it like that on their own blog !
Until they tell us what’s happening themselves and confirm any of this, I refuse to believe any of it.
Let’s wait til the actual month of September everyone.

I say theres no point in arguing because ultimately the record will come out when they decide to put it out. And we really have no control over that. So everyone just chill.

Nicofieu got a point. This can be HTTT all over again. Wich sucked big times if you compare it to Kid A (!), Ok computer or the bends. I already heard some songs of lp7 but many people say they heard the entire album o_0 Does all those songs in the lp7 section on this site belong to the new album or does Radiohead have some surprises left? And if they are, are they already leeked?

*cries*
i want lp7
*cries more*

People, this isn’t the first time Radiohead’s albums’ release dates have been delayed.

You should be used to it by now.

waiting until 2008 is ok. The fact that they are still together making music is all that matters. they could break up or have an illness or something truly tragic like that. Then where we all be?

The Beatles and Stones put out about 50 great albums in ten years. The best band of our generation takes FIVE YEARS between albums?! I love Radiohead, but that just blows, any way you cut it. In fact, I no longer compare Radiohead to the Beatles and Stones. They were overflowing with great tunes. Heck, with FIVE YEARS, I think I could write a hit or two.

What you guys have to accept its that bands move on, don’t compare… they sing about
experinced that are curerntly going on,
if u want another O.K Computer, forget it.
if your a The Bends Fan… that’s done already why
re-try that concept…
Most bands fail cause they saound to similar to their previous CD/Record whatever you call it…
Now days the only bands that survive are the ones
who re-invent themselves every album…
You can argue all you like but thats how the
Turn-Tables spin!

Ahemn

2008, what’s going on. Been waiting since 2003. Almost forgotten who they are. Patience is a virtue but this is just taking the piss.

si esperamos tanto, podemos hacerlo un rato mas, que venga con “marraqueta” seria bueno,como el kid A que trajo el coletazo al año de salir(amnesiac). Y de paso se dejen de joder como puta banda del norte y programan giras a Sudamerica. Ya que a estas alturas se ha transformado en una deuda historica.
Saludos a Todos y Paciencia.

Radiohead, you guys aren’t Peter Gabriel no matter how long it takes you to release records. And to all the sheep saying we aren’t owed anything, well its that kind of mentality, the individualistic over the individualist that has resulted in our globe being a very indifferent, cold one. If we felt like we were owed, we’d be more fucking passionate about , well just about everything. So people telling me to get an education, (thanks, have one,) or get a new band to listen to, (thanks, have one, Arcade Fire are quite lovely.) I dunno people, wake the hell up and stop allowing the world to dick you around.

JANuARY 1st!

I’m tired of waiting. I want it now… It’ll be worth it though, I know it. And a tour. Oh yeah, a U.S. tour baby!

zeds comment is complete and utter bollocjks, could he write such amazing tune – rock on radiohead and may u continue for years to come – ” your on a roll this time…” jak packham.chester

Radiohead has never said anything about an album . All they have said is that they are finished. Just think- If they would release it on the internet they would be trillionares! With a record label you hardley get any money at all, but if they relased it on the net all the money would go directly to them. Has anybody heard about this Autonomia nonsense?

hey does anyone know if radiohead are doing a tour and when it is? i love the new album, would really love to see them live again
