I did a search and didn't find anyone already posting about this yet.
Overall, it's a very different album than anything else they've done. They're not really known for making the same album twice -- meaning each album and most songs are unique to themselves-- and I think this new album follows suit. It's a shame that it's not longer and only a little more than 30 minutes, but it leaves me with a feeling of unsatisfaction really. It's hard to describe. Sonically, the overall production and mix is really good... but the actual songwriting just seems kinda "meh". Am I the only one who thinks that? It's also kinda strange that this has taken them 4 years to release, when a lot of these songs were already kinda bootlegged and out there from random shows. So there's not much really "new". Not saying it's bad, but it's definitely not their best. Just weird. But then again, that's Radiohead.
What are your thoughts on the new Radiohead album, King of Limbs?
