yes,and not to mention too bad for radiohead.

I've liked everything radiohead have released since ok computer but I wasn't completely swept away after the first listen like i usually am after hearing something new from them.the two tracks that caught my attention was little by little and codex but I have to listen some more.my first impression was that it seemed more like pleasant background music at a soft chillout bar than something that would blow you away... but I'll have it on repeat , im sure it's a grower

I agree with this. Theres a few songs which have grown on me (Codex is awesome) but just doesn't seem like they had their heart in recording this. Also it's kind of an insult to fans who have been waiting since In Rainbows with all the rumours and everything that theyd only include 8 songs. Just seems like the fact they're so popular now means they can release anything they want and they know people will still buy their stuff.

That's exactly what it means, they can release whatever THEY want. They don't have to produce a certain amount of tracks to keep everyone happy.

Well put, Curly. Same goes for their sound, they don't HAVE to make songs from the same formular of "verse, chorus, verse, chorus". And I love that about them.

Downloaded their discography.

I think it's time to give this band another chance.

Starz · Feb 21, 2011, 01:30 AM

I'd be interested to know what your favourite release is after you've had a chance to listen to them all

OK computer...my friend. it will change your life

i love "the king of limbs" it reminds me of a distant relative to "kid a" and "amnesiac" and prefer it to "in rainbows" don't get me wrong i liked "in rainbows"
i just found it to be a little too user friendly. "the king of limbs" brought back the gloom and that's what i've always loved about radiohead.

Absolutely loving the album, it really hit me on the 3rd or 4th listen. I'll put Codex up there among the most beautiful song's they've ever written. I think the second half is definitely stronger than the first half, but its all really grown on me. I'm sure they will release a second half in the future.

bright lights, big city · Feb 21, 2011, 05:39 AM

i'm hoping it's some secret surprise when people get the vinyls in may.

mr.sinister · Feb 21, 2011, 06:19 AM

The first time I listened to kol, I was kinda confused. It reminded me of amnesiac which I love, but I wasnt sure what radiohead were trying to communicate with the listener. the more I listen to it the more I like it and understand it. It is a very quiet album in comparison to their other observations but also a very atmospheric and dense album and im pretty
sure thats what they were going for. thumbs for sure on this one.

How can they be overrated if they're rightfully rated that high?

Been listening to King Of Limbs all day today and am really loving it, though I don't think Codex is that great of a song but maybe it's just me. My faves are Little by Little and Lotus Flower. And Separator is crying out for a heavy crescendo at the endddddd

Crazylegs · Feb 21, 2011, 08:54 PM

holy shit seperator is beyond good.
