Our Review

As the most beloved art-rock band in the world, Radiohead are always looking for ways to warp their sound beyond the breaking point. Here, singer Thom Yorke is still in the mode of his solo album, The Eraser. As he sings in a beautifully stationary position, the group works around him, beginning slightly ahead of him with “Bloom,” a repetitive tone poem whose two piano notes play like a warning siren as the band finds new landscapes to paint. What constitutes the first “side” of this album is agitated and striking, a push and pull of subtle and overt proportions. “Morning Mr. Magpie” works out a measured funk and “Feral” dances around itself. “Side Two” begins the slowdown. “Lotus Flower” still has a few galvanizing moments, but “Codex” is a piano ballad of pure, tranquil bliss. “Give Up the Ghost” is a haunted, funhouse mirror version of the blues. “Separator” is a perfect ending, a piece of swelling pop where Yorke and group work together in peculiar harmony.

Customer Reviews

The Amnesiac to In Rainbows (5 stars)
I feel this album will always be compared to In Rainbows in the way the way that any other follow up album to a a masterpiece is. In my opinion this is similar to how Amnesiac followed up Kid A. It provided many of the great elements which made its predecessor brilliant while also experimenting with new sounds and territories. The second half of this album displays much of the same sort of sounds that In Rainbows held in its quieter moments.

For Dedicated Fans Only (4 stars)
"The King of Limbs" will surely go down in Radiohead history as THE album that divides the fan camp. Either you love it BECAUSE it's Radiohead or you hate it because it doesn't sound like Radiohead. I'm a little on the fence in this regard as I hear a heck of a lot of Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" solo album in it, but also perhaps some dark b-sides from the long-gone "Kid A/Amnesiac" era.

I doubt highly th

They're back. (5 stars)
Enough said.

Let's just hope the rumors are true about The King Of Limbs part II.

I think the only thing I wish this could have been better was I wish it was longer of course! and I wish their was more full band tracks! I'm in love with their abstract, experimental sounds they always do but what about more tracks that were like "In Rainbows"??? That's pretty much it. A FANTASTIC album overall.

Biography

Formed: 1989 in Oxford, England
Genre: Alternative
Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Radiohead were one of the few alternative bands of the early '90s to draw heavily from the grandiose arena rock that characterized U2's early albums. But the band internalized that epic sweep, turning it inside out to tell tortured, twisted tales of angst and alienation. Vocalist Thom Yorke's pained lyrics were brought to life by the group's three-guitar attack, which relied on texture — borrowing as much from My Bloody Valentine and Pink Floyd as R.E.M. and Pixies — instead of virtuosity....
