Pearl Jam to follow Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' formula?

After I bought "In Rainbows" upon its digital release I wondered who in their right mind would buy the physical album considering they already had the opportunity to get the record for free.

Well, it turns out a lot of people were Jonesing for a tangible copy of the new Radiohead recording. Actually, 122,300 people wanted their Radiohead fix the first week the record was on shelves according to Soundscan numbers, helping "In Rainbows" debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts this week despite its pay-what-you-want release a few months back.

Since it worked so well for Radiohead, there is now speculation that Pearl Jam may ride the same name-your-own-price pony out of the gates for its ninth studio record.

This is something that could work well for the band and possibly work much better than Radiohead's maiden voyage into the consumer-driven price realm.

Consider that at one point and time Pearl Jam was the biggest band in the world, way bigger than Radiohead has ever been or currently is, and that consumers are now familiar with being able to name their own prices thanks to Radiohead, and Pearl Jam could do extremely well with this sales model.

Also the "bootlegs" the band was offering of live shows sold thousands of copies in their download-only format. Plus, if the download scheme doesn't work there's still that distribution contract with Clive Davis' J Records to fall back on, so Pearl Jam really wouldn't be risking much.

Logic tells one that if Radiohead could pull it off and still have a No. 1 record on the charts then certainly Eddie, Mike, Stone, Jeff and Matt could do it successfully.

s'ils sortent le disque en magasin après, avec une vraie pochette et tout et tout, d'accord.
mais seulement le download, ça pue je trouve.
Surtout qu'avec PJ, on a l'habitude de belles pochettes

ouais c'est vrai

Denis a écrit :download gratuit en, genre, 192kb/s, puis cd physique avec packaging pour une dizaine d'euros, pour ça je serais partant.

perso j'aime bien cette pochette.

Et quand je dis pochette je ne veux pas seulement dire l'image, mais le packaging, la qualité du produit fini, etc.
y'a qu'à voir no code ou vitalogy...

picola a écrit :franchement si même sur ce forum des amoureux de PJ, des vinyls, des belles pochettes du passé, on ne se choque pas qu'un album puisse ne pas sortir physiquement, je déprime

et pareil pourn l'audio, depuis le vinyl, on regresse nickel ...parait même que depuis quelques années deja certains groupe se ballade avec des mp3 pour apres les mettre sur des disques ...(ex :RHCP, et ca s'entend, la dynamique sur Californication par exemple, c'est le pire truc possible)

alors, c'est parti, la qualité aujourd'hui tout le monde s'en branle, je viens de voir un sujet sur le nouveau Mac Book Air : "pas grave pas de lecteur optique dedans, de toutes facons, les dvds n'existeront plus bientot, vive la Video On Demand !"


alors question : pourquoi cet engouement partout pour les écrans plats par exemple si c'est pour mater de la TNT toute compressée moins bonne que l'analogique, des émissions où l'on pass de plus en plus des extraits de video type YouTube toutes crades et donc des Video On Demand toutes compressées ??

bref, je m'egare, mais je suis dégouté !
