Product Description
Album Description
Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 release, the eighth album from the enormously successful and influential British band. As usual, the album was produced by longtime co-hort Nigel Godrich. Recorded on and off throughout 2010, the album is a cohesive collection of songs that were laid down by the band in a more relaxed fashion than their ambitious In Rainbows long-player. The album's title refers to an oak tree in Wiltshire's Savernake Forest, thought to be 1,000 years old.

Give it a chance!,
This review is from: The King of Limbs (Audio CD)
At first I wasn't sure about The King Of Limbs, but after a couple listens I began to appreciate its beauty and abstractness. The album (to me) is a blend between In Rainbows and Kid A. The album is perfectly short, after you get hooked it is easy to repeat the album over and over again.Codex is my favourite song on the album! The piano is simple, lyrics are great and the way Thom Yorke sings it takes my breathe away. Lotus Flowers is my next favourite song and is the single off the album. Its eerie and catchy, the chorus is brilliant and upbeat. (You'll be clapping with Thom in no time) Giving Up the Ghost is 3rd! I LOVE THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR IN THIS SONG! Awesome! Morning Mr. Magpie, this song will get suck in your head! Bloom's drum-track is a slightly annoying at first but after you learn the lyrics the drums don't seem too bad (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS SONG). Little By Little and Separator are both great songs! Feral is just there. meh. Give this album a shot before judging it, you'll be surprised!

A good album in the shadow of a great one,

This review is from: The King of Limbs (Audio CD)
It was always going to be difficult to follow In Rainbows. I think Radiohead did a good job taking a more ambient electronic path though, it feels fresh like a new album should. There is a lot to like here, I enjoy almost all of the tracks, but almost none of them stand out as future Radiohead classics. The album closer, Separator, is probably my favourite of the bunch. The biggest downside is the length, which just feels too short. Although it could be looked as a good point; the album still leaves you wanting more.

Radiohead; The King of Limbs,

This review is from: The King of Limbs (Audio CD)
Well sorry boys but the only thing will you want to do after listening to this CD is cut off one of your limbs. What a huge disappointment from Radiohead no less. Now I think they just officially want to destroy their fan base & even respect as a great rock band. I realize that musicians as all artists want to experiment or deviate from what they have been known to do in the past to keep things probably fresh & new for themselves...but let's not forget that you do eventually have to feed yourselves! I am not even joking here when I say how bad this CD is. First of all it is a waste of one of the better voices to come from Brit rock Thom Yorke's as it is rarely used. Most of this CD is nothing more than instrumental experimentation gone wrong! We've had enough of that garbage from Radiohead (minus their breakup period) in the past. Whatever happened to the absolutely great music & singing that they used to do....e.g. The Bends, Amnesiac, My Iron Lung etc., when we actually got to hear Thom Yorke's outstandingly beautiful haunting voice! OMG I can only hope that someone gives Radiohead a shot of Cerebral Novocaine so they can forget all this bad music they are putting out & get back to something that is not only commercially viable but was absoutely outstanding, good, groundbreaking music, singing & writing that they once had. Then they could have at least gone down along with some of the greatest Rock bands to come out of Britain such as Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Beatles etc. which is the status they once stood in among their fan base. If your considering buying this...don't waste your money......!
