radiohead : kind of limbs (album stream)

in general, i really don't like pre-ordering albums (or even buying albums) before i've had a chance to listen to them at least one time through. and i think it's a sign of disrespect to the band's fans to not provide them with that option. why would you not let them listen to the album to decide whether or not it is something they will want to listen to repeatedly? would it make sense for a painter to tell the public "okay, i just finished a painting, i'm going to put it on sale on tuesday, but you can't see it. let me know if you want to buy it. also, if you buy it and then look at it and decide you don't like it, no returns." ludicrous. so if you did not pre-order this album, and are interested in hearing it before spending nearly $50 on the "newspaper" version, or $10 on the digital version, here you go.
