low profile release 31 Mar 2011
Format:Audio CD
Strange release this. In agreement with the majority of reviewers here that the first 4 tracks are a challenge and the last 4 tracks are very pleasant indeed. So to the first 4 tracks. The opener Bloom sounds almost awkward to listen to, but after about 10 or so listens, it's charms start to slowly unravel. Morning Mr Magpie has quite a nice recurring guitar riff but doesn't seem to go anywhere. Little By Little is the track that isn't really grabbing me at all (too sinister and not enough melody for me) and Feral is OK but would be filler on any other Radiohead album. The last 4 tracks are great. Lotus Flower is the most immediate song on this collection and is a true Radiohead classic. Codex is a beautiful piano-led ballad which Radiohead do so well. The last 2 tracks Give Up The Ghost and Separator almost sound too relaxed initially but are real growers. By the time you reach the end, you're thinking is that it? But on the plus side, the album never outstays it's welcome (like Pablo Honey and Hail To The Thief). Can't really compare this to In Rainbows (which was so much more immediate, tuneful and song-based) but you get the feeling that Radiohead almost wanted this CD to be a low profile release.

Give this a few listens 21 April 2011
Format:Audio CD
I've been listening to this album more or less constantly since it's release, and was interested to hear what others thought of it. I was a little sad to see people giving it poor reviews, so I thought I would add my two-penneth in. I think there are enough reviews giving song by song synopsis for me not to add to them so here goes!
This album reminds me of the Kid A/Amnesiac era.I find it extremely soothing oddly, and when trying to listen to other music, I keep finding myself coming back to it, and discovering new bits each time.Listening on headphones you can get a real sense of the marvelous use of sounds. In particular where Thom is using his voice as a instrument in itself, even using breaths as percussion. Many songs have a mantra feel to them, and a warmth that I really liked. I think I will be listening to this album for a long time.

It may be a strange thing to say, but you have to say that the majority of criticism levelled at Radiohead stems from the fact that they have set such high standards for themselves. Listeners (including myself) expect so much from them, as we all know what their capable of producing.

I have listened to the album about five or so times now, and all I can say is that I find it sublime. All the tracks flow into each other with an ease that is so pleasing to listen to.

I've heard it often said that Radiohead veer unto the realms of pretension with their so called experimental musings. I beg to differ. Beneath all the button twiddling, there is still that undeniable sense of beautiful melody.

Nobody sounds like Radiohead, because no one can.

I love this album, and I for one am thankful for their continued existence.

Radiohead - The King of Limbs
So, 'The King of Limbs'. Strange release, but that's not surprising considering its Radiohead. I disagree with people when they say the first half of the album is a challenge. Read more

Disjointed and Indistinct
King of Limbs has only 8 songs on it, which suggests that those 8 songs form a strong whole. Sadly, they don't. KOL is probably Radiohead's weakest release. Read more

Just so bad and I wanted it to be good!
This album is just so dis-appointing, it just sounds like them hitting musical instruments in no order. Its so far away from The Bends and Kid A.

Scratch away to reveal its beauty
In Rainbows was a move towards a more melodic Radiohead and so I somehow expected this album to continue this trend. On first hearing it was quite obvious this was not the case. Read more

Just doesn't make me want to listen to it
I have been a fan of radiohead since OK Computer, and this is their album I am least likely to listen to, except perhaps Pablo Honey. There is just nothing that grabs me. Read more

Was never previously a huge RH fan but intrigued with their music.
Then after seeing a TV documentary featuring RH recording this album, I got it. Read more

Different, but still good.
This is a bit different to the usual albums from Radiohead, but still top quality. Although, not as good as previous albums, I still like this album a lot.
