Quotes on or from Radiohead

We don’t discuss figures. But we are not complaining. Anyway, we have the copyright for our songs. All that we published before belongs to EMI. That is unbelievably unsatisfying. After all, we are talking about art and hard work. I believe in the rock album as an artistic form of expression.

In Rainbows is a conscious return to this form of 45-minute statement. Of course, it was possible to make it shorter.

In Rainbows is, at least in our opinion, our classic album – our Transformer, our Revolver, our Hunky Dory.
