In short if you like post ok computer radiohead you will enjoy listening to this record.
The king of limbs vinyl review.
It s solo thom yorke gyrating every part of his body to the complex rhythms in the black and white video to the king of limbs track lotus flower while singing i will shape myself into your pocket invisible do what you want do what you want the entire album king of limbs is on youtube live on from the basement.
The album cover is very very flimsy giving this a cheap feel.
Hopefully the 2016 remasters have better packaging.
Listen to the music and revisit it as much as possible.
My only complain is that the album is too short.
Do i dare dip a toe in the moon shaped pool.
Rhythm texture atmosphere are great ways to describe the king of limbs.
However the packaging makes me very sad.
The atmosphere of the king of limbs should not surprise anyone because it sounds like a natural progression of the music of in rainbows and the eraser thom yorke s amazing solo album make sure to listen to and it rained all night and harrowdown hill for a while if you are not hooked on them yet.
Radiohead music is dense and can take sometime to grow on you.
View credits reviews tracks and shop for the 2011 clear gz media pressing vinyl release of the king of limbs on discogs.
Eight tracks each of them worth your time and yet the king of limbs is still likely to go down as.
The vinyl itself is very clean and i can t find anything wrong with the audio quality.
It s a nice packing trick one that makes the album feel even lighter than its 37 minutes.
The king of limbs sounds like it was phoned in by disinterested distracted musicians whose last truly great album turns out to have been hail to the thief.
This is a sophisticated and highly evolved album that will only appease listeners on the same frequency.
See my video review here for a closer look at the 12 vinyl version of the record.
As you can see from the other reviews there is basically a consensus that this is a fantastic album.
