‘Jigsaw Falling Into Place’ set for single release

cant really see the point in this releas
e seeing as you can download the album for what you want

And radio exposure, I guess, but when has Radiohead ever cared about that.

This means b-sides!

People who paid for the download should get a discount off of the CD.
I’m disappointed they are choosing that song as the single. There are far better songs that are more single worthy on the album, if you ask me.

You go RH!! I knew that report was bogus.

…and to further Kristopher’s comment, fans that bought the discbox should have first dibs on concert tickets.

I think it’s likely that the bsides are just tracks from the 2nd cd.

Hopefully we’ll get some other tracks as B-Sides on the Jigsaw single. But doesn’t anybody else think it’s a little odd to release it on such a hectic day of the year as New Year’s Eve? Won’t everyone be out getting pissed?

Yeah I always had Bodysnatchers or Nude pegged as singles. And if not them maybe Reckoner or 15 step. I never thought this one would be. Its not really single material imo. Wonder why they’re releasing a single. *hopes for lots of B sides* After all, there were loads of songs on that chalkboard that didnt see either album release.

‘4 Minute Warning’ would be the biggest-selling Radiohead single of all time. If they wanted to have Coldplay-ish airplay, win Grammys, they’d have put it on ‘IR’ and done a video and we’d all eb eharing it in every Starbucks.

Oh, come on, guys. Let’s face it. None of the songs on the album are going to top the Billboard 100. However, I do think it was a good choice for a single as it’s positively infectious and catchy. Yeah, Bodysnatchers is getting airplay, but it’s too soaked in distortion to be a “hit”.

But, Radiohead don’t write songs solely to top the charts (like, maybe, Coldplay). And, yeah, I like them releasing it on CD due only to the better quality. I probably still won’t buy it, as I’m going to purchase the discbox…actually, I might anyway…I work at a music store, I get a discount, so…

4 Minute Warning would be a terrible single. It’s definitely the worst song out of all 18 tracks on In Rainbows and the bonus disc (well, unless MK1 & 2 are absolute shit)

I wouldn’t have picked Jigsaw but at least they’re putting a single out. If they do a second it should be All I Need or Nude. I pray for b-sides, after all we still have to hear stuff like Burn The Witch!

Kristopher…I disagree. A single needs to be accessible to the general public, and Jigsaw Falling Into Place is a) the right length for radio and b) has the most conventional song structure on the album with enough energy and major chords to sustain the interest of the average radio listener. Bodysnatchers is really the only other song on the album that is releasable as a single. Agreed, those aren’t my favorite songs on the album, but when I first heard Jigsaw I immediately thought…”and here’s the single.”
