Questions:
1. Okay, so... what's going on?
Radiohead has announced their new CD --
In Rainbows. Using an innovative release method, you are able to purchase it either as a digital download, or as a huge discbox containing tons of goodies. (more on that later) The digital download will be released on October 10 -- earlier than the discbox, which is set for release on December 3. The wait is worth it, however, as this discbox contains an extra disc that contains even more new songs.
2. Is this legit?
Yes, the website is indubitably legit.
3. What is...
Faust Arp? No idea. It's all speculation at this point.
Jigsaw Falling into Place? Open Pick. The name is taken from one of the lines of the song.
MK 1 + 2? No idea. They're assumed to be short instrumental interludes, but again, it's all speculation at this point.
4. What is contained within the discbox?
(Taken from inrainbows.com)
THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD
AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS.
A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.
THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.
ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.
THE ALBUM DOWNLOAD AUTOMATICALLY COMES WITH THIS PACK.
Basically, you get a lot of cool shit
and the album download when it releases on October 10. Discboxes are being made to order, so no need to worry about not getting yours.
5. Help! It's not letting me place any of the items in the basket!
That's not a question, but clear your browser's cookies and try ordering them again.
6. Help! I'm having issues with my W.A.S.T.E. account.
Reports are saying that you need to register a
NEW W.A.S.T.E. ACCOUNT in order to purchase these materials. Once again,
YOU MUST REGISTER A NEW W.A.S.T.E. ACCOUNT. Old W.A.S.T.E. accounts will produce a myriad of different error messages when attempting to purchase one of the materials.
7. So, wait, what's happening on October 10?
Some time around October 10, if you pre-ordered the digital download or discbox, W.A.S.T.E. will send you an e-mail with a download code. This download code, when redeemed (on October 10, no earlier) will allow you to download In Rainbows. That's all. The CD will not be released anywhere else. It will not be in stores. It will not be delivered to your doorstep. It will be online and online only.
8. All right, cool. What's happening on December 3?
December 3 is when the discboxes get sent out.
YOU WILL NOT BE RECEIVING YOUR DISCBOX ON DECEMBER 3. THIS IS SIMPLY WHEN THEY ARE BEING SENT OUT. You will get an e-mail from W.A.S.T.E. detailing how long it should take to receive your package, but don't worry, because you'll already have the free digital download packaged in with the purchase.
9. Does this mean Radiohead has a record label now?
It's unknown at the moment.
10. Will this be sold in stores?
Reports from NME have stated that a release in stores will come early next year. No statement has been made by Radiohead themselves, however.
11. Is there any way to buy the discbox without certain elements (i.e. vinyl, hardcover book, etc.) in order to reduce the cost?
It's unknown at the moment.
12. Is this a double album, or a Kid A/Amnesiac type deal?
This is also unknown, and there are evidences supporting both sides. The fact that the releases are staggered and the second CD is only included in the discbox seems to point to the fact that disc 2 is the
Amnesiac to
In Rainbows' Kid A. However, the fact that both CDs fall under the
In Rainbows name makes it look like it's a double album. Again, this is unknown and purely speculation at this time.
13. Up on the Ladder? Where the hell did that come from?
Shut up.
14. Is there any way to see a better picture of the album cover?
Not at the moment, sorry. But sit tight! More details should be revealed soon.
15. Hey! Why does radioheadlp7.com redirect to inrainbows.com?
An explanation is still pending. Most plausible theory at the moment is that radioheadlp7.com was, for legal reasons, turned into a redirect to inrainbows.com. Having a trademark you do not own in the URL to your website more often than not results in a nasty cease-and-desist notice from the rightful owners of that trademark. Why? Well, the reason is that, to your average Joe, radioheadlp7.com may appear to be an actual Radiohead-affiliated site. This type of confusion can be harmful to any type of business, and as such is prevented.
16. Psst... hey... when's this thing gonna leak?
Probably never -- at least, not in the whole "splurged onto the internet before its release" sense of the word. At the moment, Radiohead and the people close to them are most likely the only people that have a copy of the recording. Radiohead hates leaks because it ruins their ability to surprise the public with their artistic work, and this method of release allows them to be in control of that. This method of release pretty much ensures that there will not be a leak. It's genius, if I do say so myself. Of course, if you're so stingy that you can't even pay
zero quid (you can input zero in the price field) then I suppose you can always wait and download it illegally. But you wouldn't do that, right?
17. I haven't received my confirmation e-mail yet. What's going on?
Inrainbows.com's servers are being hammered at the moment, and as such there will naturally be a delay in system processes. Don't fret, though -- if your e-mail hasn't arrived yet, it should. If it's been 24 hours and you've still got no confirmation e-mail, talk to W.A.S.T.E. support and see if they can help you out.
18. Is there any way to check the status of my order?
Yes, there is: by clicking
