How Much is the New Radiohead Album Worth to You?

Radiohead is releasing a new album and they are letting fans decide what they will pay for it, if anything at all. The band, who are shunning a major record label, will let fans download their new album from their website. If you feel like paying for the album you can decide to set your own price. If you feel like freeloading, thats fine, too.

The band is also releasing a CD version of the album that comes in the form of a special box set that will sell from their website for $80.

They are the first band to put their money where their mouth is," Gareth Grundy of British music magazine Q said "I think other bands that have been similarly successful will look and, if it is deemed to have worked, will do the same."

"The traditional business model had been ruined by the Internet," said Grundy. "The industry is still trying to work out what on earth the new model or models should be and this is just one option."

If you have been anxiously awaiting the album from Thom Yorke and company you will be happy to know that it will hit the net on October 10th. The new album, entitled "In Rainbows", is the 7th from the the band.
