Radiohead: The King of Limbs (2011)


(s/r)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Read my review at Metro Times.

As noted in the review, posted at MT the week after the LP's digital release, it was too early to fully grasp the layering and complexity here. Since then, I have only fallen more in love with the album. Just to be clear, this is precisely the music Radiohead should be making right now: intriguing but not exclusively cerebral body music that bounces and shakes seductively. It's the most addictive record of 2011 thus far, and it may be the best. I wasn't on board with the post-Kid A output, but now I feel like this is my band again.
