Get your two cents of Radiohead?

Radiohead finally released their latest album In Rainbows Oct. 10, giving listeners a melancholic, yet danceable experience throughout all ten tracks of this zestfully experimental pop record.

While sticking with the electronic sensibilities they've come to be known for since their fourth album, 2000's Kid A, Radiohead have also come to embrace the "rock" aspect of their "Brit-rock" moniker. This is achieved through jangly guitars over the sparkling synthesizers and pumping rhythm section. Thom Yorke's trademark falsetto can be heard throughout the whole album, singing about love, loneliness, identity, and even sex; a topic not lyrically explored by the band.

Diehard fans have no cause for concern. Typically with each passing album, bands who have been together as long as Radiohead run risk of scraping the bottom of the barrel for material, releasing mediocre novelties of what they know will sell albums. Radiohead have set aside all notions of selling out with In Rainbows by providing a total ying to the yang of current record trends.

The album was released exclusively through the albums Web site, www.inrainbows.com, where the listener sets their own price for the ten tracks. You can pay as little or as much as you would like to legally download Radiohead's new album.

This has put the responsibility back in the hands of the listener. It's refreshing for the public masses, invigorating even, to have the freedom to choose the price of an album. In a time when record companies are suing their own fans for sharing music, such a largely heard band like Radiohead have set their listeners a seat at the grown up table for once.

With this change in album marketing, other bands may follow in the album's wake, putting small record shops like Pleasant Ridge's Everybody's Records in a sour position.

"We'll be selling [In Rainbows] when the album comes out in December, but it has kind of put us in a crappy position with what they did," said Woody. "Most everybody who wants the album will have already bought it by then."

Though stores will be missing out of the initial record sales, Radiohead is also releasing a four-disc box set that will be available in December.
