Definitely Radiohead is dead for me Since In Rainbows i hate these new style of melodic electronic songs for girls, it's a shame i loved this band... and please don't compare this whit Amnesiac, Amnesiac had a very psychodelic style that tooked you in trance, not comporable whit Kings of the limbs that is just a soft album.

Those arguments about the lyrics and the song title also seem a bit too "overthought" (in lack of a better word) to me, the only thing that actually makes me think this could be only half of the album is the fact that the physical edition comes with a 2xLP - isn't that too many vinyl sides for a 37 minute album?

it's two 10" LPs, so 37 minutes is fitting.

and yeah, i'm just going to retract my last few posts. i guess it is kind of ridiculous there would be more. just some wishful thinking on my part, i guess.

anyway, giving it a first listen now.

Is it not two 10"s though?

edit: fuck u supercreep

Oh, didn't see that, thanks. Now I definitely don't believe there will be a second part.

"Melodic electronic songs for girls". That's kind of funny, but i don't see how it is accurate. I sort of liked "Lotus Flowers" (the song, i think the video is awful), "Bloom" is a nice track, "Morning Mr. Magpie" really convinced me to stop listening to this album in my computer's speakers, it really reminded me of some elements that i like on "Amnesiac" especially (ha!), and i thought it'd be a good idea to devote it some time to give it a proper attentive listen on my headphones, which i plan to do later tonight. I guess if i end up liking this record, that might just mean i'm actually a girl, albeit trapped in the body of a hairy man.

Nigel Godrich is again responsible for it, as he has been for the longest part of Radiohead's career. I expect that his involvement would mean the album is full of elements instantly recognizable as part of Radiohead's music, i've liked his work in the past, more so on "OK Computer" and "Kid A", also on "Amnesiac", but my appreciation of those has had more to do with the music itself, i mean all elements of the songs, including both lyrics and performance in addition to the producer's work. I expect a work well done by him in this new album, unless he somehow has been losing his craft. Innovation in that expect is hardly expected, from my point of view, so i can kind of see why that would bug someone.

Kinda waiting for others' opinions to have some idea how it actually turned out this time. People who have actually listened to the record might think i'm full of bullshit.
