Titolo: Ma e' il vero lavoro finale?

So, the question still remains: are these tracks the final mastered
versions? Max K told us that the pressing of the final press/radio promo
CD's for the album haven't been made yet mainly because the artwork hasn't
been finished. The only promo that has been finished is the single promo.
This leak is most likely from further back in the recording process. There
was a version of the album circulating around record companies back in
February and it's possible that this is what was leaked. Whether that
version was mastered or not, we don't know.
An editor for CMJ magazine posted on the the CMJ Bulletin Boards that he had
just received a mastered copy of Hail to the Thief and when he compared it
to the leaked mp3s, said this: "oh guys also, i just downloaded the version
that's on the net. chicagomike is right, that's not mastered. don't judge
the record by that; those are different, unmastered mixes from what appears
on the final version of the record. the record sounds a LOT better than
that. guess studio security ain't quite what it should be these days."
How is the band reacting to the leak? Jonny was on the official messageboard
yesterday and was asked about how he felt about the situation: "Colin called
and said it was up, so thought I'd check. I feel bemused, though, not
annoyed....I'm glad people like it, most of all. It's a *little* earlier
than we'd expected, but there it is. There there it is ! hahahahaha." He
went on later to say: "Not angry no. Surprised, and still not used to it
happening, even after all these years..... I worry more that stuff we do
*won't* get released for whatever obscure reason, and I hate the 3 month gap
between finish and release. But not enough to leak it myself!"
Jonny was asked if he knew if these were mastered tracks: "Don't know yet -
I've only downloaded I Will and it's hard to tell. I guess we'll find out
today. Well it sounds OK on my iBook speakers... Haven't tried it on
headphones... Are there any cross fades?"
Just a short while ago, Stanley Donwood made an appearance on the board as
well: "oh well its not as if there arent worse things to worry about i mean
do you remember that old 'home taping is killing music' thing in the 80s
then record companies introduced cds and stopped making vinyl so they made a
rod for their own backs there i really would like to know who leaked it
though cos the fucking promos arent even out yet ha ha ha hail to the thief"
Phew!

 versions?
Finali o non finali, sono spettacolari.
Queste sono dichiarazioni standard che vengono tirate fuori in casi simili,
comunque ;)

sono d'accordo... dai pochi ascolti che ho fatto finora posso solo dire che
oramai hanno l'Olimpo del rock a loro disposizione... sonoe  rimangono uno
dei gruppi piu' importanti del rock degli ultimi 15 anni (io dico il
migliore in assoluto!) e che entrano nella storia "che conta" di
sempre...quando tra 30 anni si parlera' di mostri sacri di questo genere
musicale non sono sicuro che i Radiohead siano dietroa  gente come Pink
Floyd o Dylan o Talking Heads... e' possibilissimo che la valutazione
storica a priori gli dia un'importanza reale di grandezza artistica che oggi
molti non vogliono concedergli....
Veramente SETTE album da infarto e da oggi mai piu' daro' voti ai singoli
lavori... qua' siamo a livelli di "sopra le righe" e aldila' della
storia....
ciao
Max

Sono iperbolicamente d'accordo con te.
Ora posso iniziare a preoccuparmi.
(Ma quanto bella č Sit Down Stand Up?)

Curioso questo nuovo Radiohead in rete il primo aprile...
Ciao, Ivano

 Ciao, Ivano
E' in rete da ieri.
Comunque hai ragione, non sono i Radiohead: č il nuovo di Scialpi.

Mi sembrava... E' proprio vero... invecchiando si migliora.
