Order placed. I will have new music this Saturday and new vinyl in May.

Oh, and while there's no track list as of yet, here's a good idea of what might be on it. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately, depending on what you like) most of the pre-release stuff is just Thom on acoustic or piano, unlike the full band stuff that came out before In Rainbows.

At least the album wasn't called King of Limbo. That would be bad.

Pitchfork editors: Fuck. And here we were hoping to give Kanye another AOTY regardless of how good his collab with Jay-Z will turn out to be. OH WELL 10.0/10.0 ALBUM OF THE FUCKING DECADE

Man, Pitchfork... Does anyone take you seriously? I think even the hipsters that read you do so ironically. Pitchfork is so far beyond relevant....

That said, I've been waiting for this new album with baited breath.... Makes me glad I just bought some new Sennheisers so I can listen to it with better quality than before.

I already made a thread about this, but granted mine wasn't that indicatively titled, might as well nuke mine and make this the official one. Pretty awesome, amirite?

I'll check the album out, if only because it pretty much came out of nowhere.

Hey, it coulda been a punny reference to "Exit Music (For A Film)".

According to At Ease, there may only be 8 tracks on the album. That's weird considering a lot of the premiered songs are pretty short. Lotus Flower is the only one longer than five minutes...

Perhaps one of the ones we haven't heard is 30 minutes long or something.

Also I keep reading the name of "ateaseweb.com" as "a Tease", which let's face it is a bit more accurate.

Everyone seems to be wild mass guess'ing about the fact that as this album is so short and released a day early it means a 'Part 2' comes out tommorow. And also Seperator (The last track) has the line "If you think this is over, you are wrong".

We'll see, I guess.

Finished listening.

^^I really really hope that's true, because right now the album feels incomplete. It doesn't help that there's some weird lead-in to Codex, too. As far as the "if you think this is over" lines go, that song first premiered last February, so it seems odd for the band to specifically plan this.

The album's alright, but not great. None of the songs feel like the tone created by the vocals match the tone created by the music, except for Give Up The Ghost and Codex.

Edit: I'll give it Little by Little too. That one's growing on me on second listen.

Never was too keen on Yorke's "interpretative dancing", now I'm even less so when it's the focus of an entire video. He can't even decide when to lip sync and when not to. The song is groovy though.

It's kind of sad that the rest of the band figure so rarely in videos.

His look reminds me of Orthodox Jews for some reason.

Okay, the video was kinda lame, but the album version of Lotus Flower finally clicked for me, and it makes sense. I'd still love a version closer to the original, but yeah, the songs are starting to grow.

If there's a second part, I really hope I don't have to pay another $50 for it.

Yes, I know myself well enough to know that I'll be getting the special edition.

The funky-chicken-hat-grab is totally going to be the next big dance craze.
