Downloading this now. Will give a proper listen later. Kinda giddy. Why is True Love Waits on this?

Because it rules and because it is Thom's final love letter to his one true love.

The background vocals in Identikit... they're saying something about "a moon shaped pool"... makes more sense now. I didn't really like the album title at first. But it's kind of like In Rainbows, which was a reference in Reckoner, if I'm remembering correctly.

Thats actually a pretty good way to give the video a meaning.

Well, this is a great album. I liked how calm and soulful it seems... it seems to be full of references of Yorke´s divorce...but there is a lot of what i like about the band too, so its pretty awesome.
I love it.

Wow. It's really impressive how they keep doing this.
It's kind of an overwhelming first listen. Godrich definitely earned his paycheck on this one.
True Love Waits really hits where it hurts.

Is this easily streamed or downloaded somewhere or does it have to be purchased on iTunes?

Thanks. If you order a physical copy (not the special edition), does it come with a download code?

Only with the deluxe edition, KD, based on the info on that page.

I'm only a few tracks in, but "Bodysnatchers" was the worst offender so far. I do still love "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" though.
As I'm listening, the more it's bugging me that I can't put my finger on what it is about their post-HTTT output that doesn't work for me. Like, I can sit back and hear that, seemingly, most of the right pieces are there, but they just don't fit together for me like their previous stuff. They don't get in my guts. They don't excite me. I don't know. I can't figure it out. Argh.
well i guess this is growing up

Weird that the special edition doesn't come with an option to download the 24 bit version. Or did I miss something?
