Trent Reznor gets even more riled up with music industry, vows to do a Radiohead
My, that Trent Reznor is an awfully angry man. Pretty obvious if you’ve ever heard ‘Burn’ by his band Nine Inch Nails, and if you’ve been following his rants against the music industry recently, where he’s been urging fans to pirate his music rather than actually pay for the ‘overpriced’ CDs themselves.
Reznor has been ranting on the band’s website, and all but said they’re going to follow Radiohead and release their next album exclusively online. With the subject of ‘big news’, he said “Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate…

As a band, Radiohead aren’t shy of taking risks. Witness how they’ve evolved musically, in the transition between The Bends and OK Computer, and then onwards into their more electronica-influenced recent albums. The easy path would’ve been to have cranked out a few more emotive rock albums and become The New U2.
Now the band has made its bravest move yet, taking the decision to sell their new album ‘In Rainbows’ directly to fans as a digital download, for which fans decide how much they want to pay. Admittedly, there’s also a £40 ‘Discbox’ option for the hardcore fans, which should reduce the risk.
Radiohead ARE selling their new album In Rainbows online… and they want you to set the price
After the kerfuffle this weekend surrounding the mysterious RadioheadLP7 website, which turned out to be a hoax, now Radiohead have actually annnounced their new album. It’s called ‘In Rainbows’, and the band will be selling the digital version themselves in just ten days time. Oh, and it’s up to you how much you pay for it.
What’s that? You don’t trust me after the last time I raised your hopes? Well, it’s an official announcement on the Radiohead website, with a link through to the In Rainbows site, where you can preorder the digital album, and also order a £40 ‘Discbox’ version which includes vinyl, CD and a bonus CD – as well as the downloads.
