First Listen: Radiohead's "The King of Limbs"
Well. That was not "In Rainbows: Part II".
Yorke sings in much the same way that he did for IR, but it's over an electric mix that sounds like Amnesiac on steroids. Sounds like a blinding endorsement, but that first 15-20 minutes of frenetic toe-tapping starts to wear a little thin about halfway through "Little By Little."
The back half is definitely slower. Maybe that was the intention - an uptempo first half and a more relaxed second half.
Instant favorite? "Codex" is gorgeous. It has rightfully been called "Pyramid Song V2.0."
It's too soon to talk about TKOL's rank amongst other Radiohead albums, but of their 8 albums, it's currently somewhere in the middle. The physical release might correct a couple of rough spots in the MP3's, and holding the so-called Newspaper Album might add some of the magic that strangely seems to be missing now.
