Radiohead's new album is finally out - it's called A Moon Shaped Pool, and you can stream it in full.

The album has been eagerly anticipated for years now, and follows 2011's The King Of Limbs. Apple Music and Tidal are currently streaming the LP, but Spotify are conspicuously not - perhaps understandable given Thom Yorke's famously frosty feelings towards the service.

The special edition, priced at £60, includes bonus tracks, a 32-page art book, and a piece of master tape from recordings sessions from throughout their career: "This is a piece of a Radiohead ½ inch master tape from an actual recording session. The tape degrades over time and becomes unplayable. We thought rather than it ending up as landfill we would cut it up and make it useful as a part of the special edition. A new life for some obsolete technology... Each loop contains about ¾ of a second of audio - which could be from any era in the band's recording past going back to Kid A. You may have silence, you may have coloured leader tape, you may have a chorus... It's a crapshoot. We have copies. Don't worry."

Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's longtime producer/collaborator, has thanked the band on Twitter:

It's out! Making this album was a very intense experience for me. I lost my dad in the process...Hence a large piece of my soul lives here..
