Sam Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Taken from Wikipedia The King of Limbs is the eighth studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich. It was released on 18 February 2011 as a download in MP3 and WAV formats. It will be followed by a physical CD release in the UK on 28 March and a special "newspaper" edition on 9 May 2011. The "newspaper" edition will contain two 10-inch vinyl records in a special record sleeve, many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork, a compact disc, and a colour piece of oxo-degradable plastic package. The album will be released by Ticker Tape in the United States, XL in the United Kingdom and Hostess Entertainment in Japan. The first single, called 'Lotus Flower' has been released, along with a video;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfOa1a8hYP8 The 'newspaper' edition can be pre-ordered on the official website, and the digital copy of the album (available in 320kbps and WAV format) can be bought & downloaded. Opinions, people of MM&T? Will anyone buy the newspaper edition? Has anyone bought the digital copy? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm downloading right now, it sounds like it's going to be good. I'm actually not much of a Radiohead fan, though I think if I listened to their albums more I might start actually liking them. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

Range_This11 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 What's a Radiohead? "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thom Yorke never fails to please. Loved the first single; haven't gotten a chance to listen to/buy the rest of the album quite yet. My friend says "it's kind of a mashup between In Rainbows and Kid A". Yes or no? Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Might check it out. Liked a few of their songs, but was never a huge fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 What's a Radiohead? It's a Talking Heads song. For some reason I can't be bothered to listen to it now. And I don't know why, I really liked In Rainbows. Just can't be bothered. I'll guess I'll hear it when the pshysical thing hits the store. I don't like this early online bull. Also, I don't realy like the title. The King of Limbs? Come on, what's up with that? Why would I want to listen to a record with a title like that. Edit: Decided to pause my record player and looked a few minutes at the Lotus Flower clip. Horrible. Now Yorke doesn't only sounds like a whino, he also looks like one. The track breathes boredom, and the clip is ugly. Why would you want to show yourself to the world like that? Is this a joke? I guess I just want to dislike it at this point. After seeing this clip I even wonder why I would like Radiohead at all? There's nothing to laugh at. Pop-music taking itelf way to serious. I just don't care anymore. Maybe tomorrow! Edit 2: The name of the album possibly refers to an oak tree in Wiltshire's Savernake Forest, thought to be 1,000 years old.[5] The tree is a pollarded oak, referring to an ancient technique for harvesting timber for fencing and firewood. Though it does not feature on maps, the tree is said to be 3 miles (4.8 km) from Tottenham Court House, where Radiohead recorded part of their previous album In Rainbows. ooh, 'interesting'. :') Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

Maleficus1055 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I never really understood what it is about Radiohead. Their music all sounds the same to me and is incredibly boring. This album is no different. Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The music has developed throughout the years. But I understand what you mean. They always have this feeling of boredom and non-interest (is there a better word for this in English?) that creeps up in their music. It's been a while since I last played Radiohead (before hearing this Lotus Flower), so I kind of forgot about them. But yea, why should you listen to Radiohead? They are either angry, angsty or just plain down. Always wearing a heavy heart up their sleeve. If it isn't with a guitar it's with some crappy electronics. I say we should all start dissing Radiohead! Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

champion Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I don't understand all the praise for the Lotus Flower video. I don't like using such non-constructive insults, but it just seems stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thom could use a shave and a haircut. Or at the very least a shower. Didn't really like Lotus Flower, thought the video was lulz worthy though. I'll probably give the album a listen later.

That's not my problem. I'm not makin' records. But if I would, I wouldn't be offending the population with this semi-deep [cabbage].

Omar Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You think the title is semi-deep? It's just a place they were at when making their last record. If you're analyzing that far in, maybe you're the one being too serious; it's just the first name they could think of. As far as the dancing goes, I'm pretty sure Yorke's always been like this: Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you.

Diesel Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 First listen through gave me more of a Thom Yorke solo album vibe than a Radiohead one. We'll see how it goes after a few more listens.

Intriguing Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think it's a decent album, but I'm already a pretty big fan of Radiohead. I do wish there was a bit more variety in the beats though. They set down something amazing but then have it on a straight loop for five minutes with no variation. The end result is, as Diesel said, a Thom Yorke solo album. Bloom and Feral are two particularly good tracks though. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 I like it. Almost like In Rainbows pt.2. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
