    Just bought this on vinyl today. Sounds great. Really liking this album though I have to admit it took some time to grow on me.
    E agora? Faz xixi na mão e deita fora!

    Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's going to be a TKOL 2 or anything. Although apparently people are still expecting the band to have a new record ready relatively quickly...maybe by the end of the year or early next year?

    Anyway, here's the two songs they're releasing for Record Store Day: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... k-20110415

    Not sure about "The Butcher" (although hearing it in better sound quality would probably help me like it more), but "Supercollider" is very good.

    They're doin a less limited release of the 12" on June 14.


    I think KoL may be their best sounding record. Too bad about the overall quality of it.

    Love the bass playing throughout the album, though.

    Too much like a Yorke solo album. If this was a follow up to The Eraser, then it would fall short.

    Johnny Greenwood is one of the most talented guitarists/musicians of the past 30 years and it seems like he sat this one out. You can't allow that to happen.

    Highly doubt he "sat it out". I understand that there aren't many songs where the guitar jumps out at you, but it is there.

    I mean, if you take Kid A for instance, most of the songs on that one didn't feature much guitar at all but Jonny still contributed a lot to each song.

    I misspoke. What I should have said is that he, and the band, simply did not use his talents. I expect more from Radiohead as one of my favorite bands. This album is simply not a great album by any means. Neither is it very good. The talent is there, the inspiration is there (or it should be), but the finished product simply was uninspired.

    It's just not that interesting. I don't think it's horrible, just, you know, not good. Maybe my 10th favorite album of 2011 so far. :lol:

    I find it interesting that the band has not announced any tour plans, and has given very little interviews or insight into the making of the record, why they decided to release it the way they did, if there's more material they recorded but didn't want to release, etc.

    Meanwhile all of the fans at AtEase and other message boards devoted to them are going batshit insane.
