British rockers MUSE have ruled out following RADIOHEAD and releasing their next album online - although they admit they are looking for a more "organic" way to share their music with fans.
Drummer Dom Howard revealed the band's plans for their next LP, claiming they wanted to move away from the traditional CD format.
And he hinted at the possibility of releasing new songs as individual downloads, rather than saved up for an album.
But Howard insists they won't be copying Radiohead's idea and making their disc only available on the internet.
He tells BBC Radio 1, "We won't be doing the same thing as Radiohead, no.
"Everyone is plucking ideas out of the sky and any band can decide how they release an album. It's all good, I'm all for it.
"The traditional format of releasing an album on CD is not the most common thing a new music buyer or listener would typically go and get from a shop these days.
"Not that we're against the concept of releasing an album in the traditional format at all. It's just the way the world and technology is evolving, it's presenting a canvas to do whatever you want and just release music as and when it is ready to release. It can happen much more organically.
"If we group a bunch of tracks together, it's because they're meant to be together as a unit."
Last year (07), Radiohead released In Rainbows as an Internet download and allowed fans to name their own price for the album.
