It's a fairly good album, if you like experimental music.

This album is very good. It doesn't touch the holy trilogy of OK Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows, but it is still very good. While short by modern day standards, I have no problem with the 37-minute plus length. Sure, I hope there is more to come in the form of a bonus disc or something, but as is, I am pretty happy with this. Codex is one of the most beautiful things ever, and Separator, Give Up the Ghost and Little by Little have all been stuck in my head for days. One of the best bands of all-time does it again.

Because it shouldn't. I will say though, I don't think it's their best stuff. Took me a few plays to really appreciate it, whereas In Rainbows instantly grabbed me. |

I've listened to it about 4 times, and I like it. Still though, it does feel rather incomplete. Reading the description of the "newspaper album" there does seem to be another half coming.
And ordinarily, I wouldn't give much thought to it, but the band is Radiohead. The last track repeats these lines several times: (Wake me up, wake me up) If you think this is over Then you're wrong. In all likelihood, they're just lyrics, but I can't help but wonder if they foreshadow something on the way. Here's something pretty crazy about OK Computer and In Rainbows basically being one continuous album if you switch the track order: http://prostheticknowledge.tumblr.com/post/2301531933/radioheads-decade-spanning-secret-album-taken I guess we'll find out eventually, but I sure hope another surprise is on the way.

Well over three years and all they could come up with is an ep of blips and bleeps with no substantial songwriting? Perhaps it's time to call it a day ...

i am not a huge fan, but Radiohead do deliver on their albums. i liked OK Comp and Kid A and parts of debut, byut they havent appealed lately to me. I hope this album is proggy and not soggy.

Played it all the way through twice now. I like it. I really think both In Rainbows and The King of Limbs are better than Hail To The Thief.

Not as accessible as In Rainbows was for me, might take a few listens to really get into. Sounds good so far though, lots of little sounds here and there to make me appreciate my speakers' quality

I just downloaded the album and I just listened to it…I find it to be quite great. I don’t exactly know where to place it amongst Radiohead’s discography yet, and I almost feel like going through their discography again j. Lotus Flower is a wonderful track, and I really like the opening track Bloom….it seems as if Radiohead are fans of glitch music. Bottom line, this album was very enjoyable and I liked it very much. If you are a fan of Radiohead then you will enjoy this album. A more in-depth and comprehensive review will come in the future. I think I need to listen to this album (and their other albums) a few more times to get a complete picture. |

I feel I have been conspicuously absent from this thread thus far, and will add, sooooo gooooooood. This album is pretty great.
