Opinion: Radiohead's In Rainbows is their bravest decision yet - Tech Digest
Stuart Dredge writes... 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.
