Not sure how interested theStrut is in Radiohead, but the internet is all a twitter about the fact that their 8th album is about to drop. Available for pre-order from their website now - http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/

Don't know if I'll cop the physical, but I like how they do things.
Radiohead's new record, The King Of Limbs, is presented here as the world's first* Newspaper Album, comprising:

* Two clear 10" vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
* A compact disc.
* Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
* The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
* The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.

    I'm definitely looking forward to a new Radiohead album, its just too bad the only way to pre-order some non-digital format is to spend $48. I probably will not do that. How about just vinyl? Or just a CD?

    I did. It sounded fine but I wasn't convinced that it was the way it was intended, in some decade-long mysterious project. The songs go together well but I'd still rather listen to them as they appeared on the albums.

    This will be an interesting year. For music. Can't wait to hear it.

    This is the stand out track so far.

    It's an interesting listen. gona take a few more before I attempt to pass judgement on it.

    It reminds me of some of their bsides was my first impression. & it definitely has more of a home listen, than a stadium anthem feel.

    I listened to it one time around now. It was a nice sit-down. But after first impression, this is definitely something I would end up buying.

    It was a really stormy night in San Diego last night. We turned out all the lights, opened all the blinds, and put on this album for a first listen as we watched the storm. It was a nice way to give it a first listen. I'm excited to give it a few more rotations. Copped the double 10" with no regrets.

    It clocks in at 37 minutes, and left me wanting more. I really enjoyed it, though.

    It's weird to be paying so much for the extra artwork that is advertised as being held together by an oxo-degradable structure. First self-destructing album?
