    Why the confusion? People are quite clearly stating their issues with it.

    I have had King of Limbs on repeat play since the weekend and I for one think it's brilliant. Organic, a little different,maybe even mellow - but IMHO really really good.

    That's my opinion - music is so subjective that it can only be opinion!?!

    And one more opinion - I wish PJ would push their creative boat out a little with next album - in the spirit that Radiohead have showed of King of Limbs.

    I hear more creativity in Backspacer.

    Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it either. I just don't think this Radiohead album really pushes any envelopes.

    Personally, I feel like this album is a mixture of Amnesiac and In Rainbows.

    I have to disagree 100% that there is no creativity to be found on this record. If anything, it shows that Radiohead are still not afraid to change up their sound at this stage in their career.

    Going back to the Pearl Jam comparison, they've had roughly the same style on each of their last three or so records. Not that they're bad, because I enjoy them very much, but I certainly don't hear a whole lot of creativity per se on Backspacer, just tight, concise songwriting, for better or worse.

    Amazingly, I think this thread is more contentious than the Phillies thread!

    I feel sorry for myself for buying the deluxe version of KoL. :lol:

    InTOD is basically a Plant & JPJ record. Page was too addicted to heroin to really contribute. Whether you think it's really great probably depends on how you feel about the 10 minutes of Carouselambra. I could see loving or hating it. I could kind of take it or leave it. I'd put InTOD towards the bottom of Led Zep records, but it's still pretty great.

    I love South Bound Saurez, Fool in the Rain & Hot Dog but I could leave the rest to be honest. I can see what you mean with Carouselambra.

    Didn't mean to change the subject :mrgreen: . Led Zep 3 for me. You can't beat Since I've been loving You.

    It's either 3 or physical grafiti for me.

    My favourite Radiohead (to keep on topic ;) ) is prob OK Computer followed by In Rainbows.

    1.OK Computer 2.Amnesiac 3.In Rainbows 4.Hail To The Thief 5.Kid A 6.The Bends 88.Pablo Honey I love all of these albums with the exception of Pablo Honey. I love the Kid A songs live but like other studio albums better. Tons of people trashed Hail To The Thief when it came out, but it's a great record. Where I End And You Begin is a top 5 Radiohead song to me.

    This is the epitome of a rock & roll blues song, and easily a top 5 Zep song for me.

    Totally agree. It took me a little while to get used to some songs like Gloaming & Punchup, etc. But Where I End... (and Sail to the Moon & There There) are Radiohead at their finest. Oh yeah, Mixamatosis :!: Wow.

    I tend to think that this album could've been a couple songs shorter, but then when I listen I can't figure out which songs they should've chopped off. It's kind of funny. There is just that something about that album that doesn't quite work perfectly (unlike, say OKC). It's still damn good.

    This thread is too much. I think The King Of Limbs will grow on you like HTTT Johnny. It gets better with each listen. There's always tons of layers. People get sick of the word relevance but look at this thread. Whether you love or hate the album you will still feel the need to keep listening. That's the beauty of this band. I have a feeling 73% of the haters will come around to it ;) . They are just that fuckin good.
