    Well you never know. I think the kind of music Radiohead make it's always going to divide it's listeners in strong measures.
    Radiohead's ability to reinvent themselves with everything they release is bound to produce split opinions. Personally, I try and imagine I'm listening to a band I've never heard when I hear a new Radiohead album... Avoid all expectations, as they avoid all inhibitions. This is a beautiful, surreal, haunting sounding album with Radiohead's signature embedded at its core. On my first go, and lovin' it.

    I listened to The King of Limbs properly lying on my bed with my headphones - and I liked it a lot - the first half reminded me of the Eraser, and the second half Thom Yorke's singing took me to some proper In Rainbows places, and had me right there hanging on his voice, and getting lots and lots of images come up, like I have had when listening to In Rainbows. I'm definitely going to give this album some time - I heard a lot in Thom Yorke's voice, especially in the second part of the album.

    It brings together a lot of different parts of Radiohead's later output I think, Kid A and Amnesiac type stuff obviously but also including In Rainbows and also the Eraser. A lot of the time, I was thinking 'this is a jazz album!!'

    Going to listen to this some more over the coming weeks for sure

    Well said. Something I will say is that I don't feel it had that continuity throughout that I've felt in most of Radiohead's previous albums... There were points where I felt that the flow from song to song was abrupt - but knowing Radiohead, I suppose that is intentionally jarring to increase the impact of the transitions.

    I'm so pissed off right now. I tried a few times to order it and it kept saying the card payment was denied. I emailed them about the problem.

    I've listened through once and I gotta say, I think In Rainbows blows this one away. Sounds too much like Thom's solo stuff for my liking. Maybe - like every other Radiohead album - it just has to grow on me, but this one is leans more towards techno, which I was hoping wouldn't be the case.

    I'm not disappointed, but at this point I'm glad I got the wav's and didn't drop $50 on the vynil/cd.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    In Rainbows doesnt just blow it away... it crushes it into tiny atoms and farts them into space... the new album is a pile of frozen piss. In Rainbows had songs and guitars and chords... this new one sounds like Thom's wife bought him a new Korg synthesiser and he feels obliged to use it on every fucking song.

    horrible.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    See, now why can't Rolling Stone have reviews like this? If they did, I might actually read it. Reminds me of a quote I read once (maybe even on this board): "It's official - Johnny Greenwood hates his guitar." I don't hate the new album, but I can see why people will. Especially after the promise In Rainbows showed for a return to more guitar-driven stuff...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...
