New Radiohead Album, ‘The King of Limbs,’ Will Hit Web on Saturday
By DAVE ITZKOFF

It’s the morning after the Grammy Awards, when the recording industry is still recovering from after-parties, after-after-parties and any pathogenic bacteria it might have picked up from Lady Gaga’s egg, so who would expect there to be any music news before Justin Bieber wakes up?

Radiohead, that’s who. That nonconformist British band opted to wait until immediately after the Grammys (and, in Britain, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards) to announce that its next album, “The King of Limbs,”will be available as a digital download on Saturday before its physical release in May.

But unlike its last album, “In Rainbows,” for which Radiohead allowed online customers to pay what they wished (if they wished to pay anything at all), “The King of Limbs” will not be sold at such flexible prices. On its Web site for the new album, thekingoflimbs.com, the band said that a digital version can be purchased in advance for $9 (for MP3 format) or $14 (for WAV format).

Radiohead is also offering what it calls a “newspaper album” release of “The King of Limbs” (a metaphor that was lost on at least one newspaper employee) which includes two 10-inch vinyl records and a compact disc, as well as “many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-color piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together.” This release is sold for $48 (for MP3 digital files) or $53 (for WAV), and will be shipped on May 9, the band said.

Sweetness

[quentin_compson]

Great news indeed. :hungry:

[Spurminator]

A few thoughts...

- I'm very excited.
- I hope there are also plans for a simple CD release.
- Why would you pre-order a digital download?

[redzero]

I've been ready for this for hours. Where is the goddamn leak?

[Greg Oden]

I'm surprised there's only 1 thread on the front page of /mu/. I figured they would be shitting bricks.

Also I miss IronMexican :cry

[quentin_compson]

Iron Mexican probably has been running through the streets screaming in excitement all day and therefore isn't able to sit down and post. :lol

I hope it's 320 and not 128 like IR.

[Spurminator]

You can download it in WAV format

[IronMexican]

For an extra five dollars. I'm straight, brah.

[quentin_compson]

Well, on Radiohead's website, it says:
"MP3 version is a 320K constant bit rate file"

[resistanze]

I'm downloading In Rainbows FLAC format in anticipation (no IronMexican).

[Duff McCartney]

Never been a huge fan of them. I like a few songs..but I think their fans are pretty annoying. All five members could sit around and record themselves farting and their fans would proclaim it to be the most important album in music past, present, and future.

[IronMexican]

So you didn't like Amnesiac? Those farts made Pull/Pulk great.


I seriously cannot wait, though. I'm so pumped right now. And there's no way any leak is legit. Why do you think they released it this late. I wouldn't be surprised if the only people to have heard this album are Thom, Jonny, Ed, Phil, Colin, Nigel, and possibly Stanley.

Good to see the digital release is 320kbps. Playing some Kid A right now in anticipation. (I already played the shit out of In Rainbows over the past few years so I need something else).

[MannyIsGod]

BTW does anyone still prefer buying actual CDs? I've gotten to the point where the cases and artwork that come with my media just take up room. I'm all for nothing but digital at a lower rate but I've never been a fan of album art/nerd gear that comes with releases.

Got all of Radiohead on CD, and now I have to wait 'till March 29th :danceclub

OK Computer will always be my favorite album. If Electioneering wasn't on it, it would be perfect.

It's okay IronMexican you don't have to end up with 50 posts on this thread to tell us you love Radiohead..

Not really emo. If you are looking for that, though, Galaxie 500, Elliott Smith, and The Antlers are all great musicians to off yourself too. Forgot Nick Drake.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Galaxie 500

On Fire :tu great album

[IronMexican]

Ordered my newspaper edition about 15 minutes ago. It's going to suck waiting till May 9th to receive all the stuff.

Supposedly it will only be 8 tracks.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Radiohead tweeted earlier

"渋谷 ハチ公広場 金曜日 １８時５９分"

which translates to "Hachiko Square Shibuya, 18:59 Friday"

I'm starting to get really excited

[monosylab1k]

Manu > Thom Yorke

[IronMexican]

People are saying it might be a concert. NME denounced that, but it's NME.

[IronMexican]

I think webcast, though.

[IronMexican]

BTW, if Fog is on this album, I would die happy. Such a perfect song. My favorite b-side. Well, it's one of.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I'd much rather have one of the unreleased songs like Follow Me Around or Lift

[YourFace1918]

They released it a day early. Its out now

[Muser]

Yeah i'm downloading it now.u

[silverbora]

downloading now

[Muser]

So far it's pretty damn good IMO.

[quentin_compson]

Just listened to it for the first time. More than any Radiohead album, you can compare it to Thom Yorke's The Eraser. A lot of drums/beats, pretty much an electronic album as opposed to the more guitar-oriented In Rainbows. The last couple of songs are less electronic, though, there's a piano, an acoustic guitar and even a wind section.
On first listen, The King of Limbs didn't blow me away the way its predecessor did, but then again, few albums did.

[Muser]

Give Up the Ghost is my favorite, great song.

[IronMexican]

I can't download. fack. I can't even log into the site.

[IronMexican]

38 fucking minutes? They mailed it in for this one. I wanted a radiohead album, not a Thom Yorke solo.

[IronMexican]

And no Present Tense is so fail. Unless it's out tomorrow.

[IronMexican]

So far, it's just good. I'm hoping this was a Thom Yorke solo album, and the real Radiohead album will be released tomorrow.

[IronMexican]

Live renditions of Lotus Flower were better, as well.

[silverbora]

So far, it's just good. I'm hoping this was a Thom Yorke solo album, and the real Radiohead album will be released tomorrow.

dont tease

[IronMexican]

Okay, this album is winning me over. Codex is great.

[IronMexican]

What I don't like is there's no Ed backup vocals. It's like Thom, Jonny, Colin(nice bass lines), and Phil did everything.

[redzero]

IronMexican, maybe forming opinions of something as a whole as soon as one hears it is a bad idea.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I like it so far, but it does sound like a Yorke solo album

[Cry Havoc]

What are you using to listen to it, IM? Headphones? Full stereo?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Lol at ESPN highlights of Bulls/Spurs game. "Thom Yorke is to Radiohead what Derrick Rose is to the Bulls."

I just wanted some closed cans, so got there. Fidsta get some AKG 701/2's some time this, or next month.

AKGs and Radiohead should be sonic bliss.

You should also look into STAX in the future... they're the pinnacle of accurate sound. Expensive, though.

I see most are over a G. Never in my life. I wish.

I'd go no high than 500. I am going to get an amp before AKG's, though, since I hear they don't "rock". It would be great for Folk, though, since they wouldn't need to.

The upside to them is that they don't use dynamic drivers, so I would imagine there would be far less wear and tear on them. And even aside from that, if you take care of them a pair of headphones will last 10-20 years, perhaps more. Expensive, but a good investment.

[IronMexican]

Alright. Gonna take a 15 minute break before a 4th listen. I love it. I doubt it would be my AOTY, though.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I really love Lotus Flower on more listens

NPR is about to stream the album for those who haven't listened yet


http://www.npr.org/2011/02/18/133862208/radiohead-listening-party-hear-the-bands-entire-new-album-live-at-2-p-m-et

[Stringer_Bell]

I haven't pre-ordered the "newspaper" album yet, so I caught a stream and after crying for a minute because the songs I wanted on the album aren't on there - the first song I heard was "Separator" and I was about to wreck my computer out of anger then the song actually kicked in. I cried, it was perfect. Now I'll listen to it in order haha.

[IronMexican]

What songs you want? I think Daily Mail is an a4p song. I wanted Present Tense, though.

[Stringer_Bell]

What songs you want? I think Daily Mail is an a4p song. I wanted Present Tense, though.

Daily Mail (even if it's an a4p song haha), Big Boots (since the 90s I've wanted it on record), Open the Floodgates, The Present Tense, and Super Collider. I've never seen them live, but after hearing half the new record I'm pretty sure they'll never play Big Boots again. :(

[IronMexican]

I think Daily Mail will be on the a4p album(if there is one), and the rest(minust big boots, since it's old) might be b-sides. Those are some ridiculous B-sides.

It's sort of like instead of releasing a more accesible album(I'll use the Kid A analogy), they just went out there and released(in some ways) an Amnesiac. Sure, it's not nearly as difficult to get into as Amnesiac, but I look at it like that. Who knows, though. Maybe Radiohead worked with enough material to release another album.


Only half the songs on TKoL(Mouse Dog Bird, Give up Ghost, Lotus Flower, Mr Magpie were heard before the releasing of this album. And the fact that they used a song as old as Magpie gives us hope for Big Boots, Lift. And Nude(Formerly Big Ideas), should give us even more hope for some of the great stuff they did in the late 90's, early 00's. I'd love an album with Fog as well.

[IronMexican]

And I just finished my 7th listen. I might buy the CD on the 28th to check it out as well, and give it away to someone once May rolls around.

[Stringer_Bell]

A few notes...
1) Fuck those keyboard jockeys on teh internets saying "omg its not groundbreaking enough, Radiohead's just not breaking new ground."
2) I think this album fits best in between Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. Only Radiohead can pull this stuff off without sounding completely pretentious. The way Johnny Greenwood's guitar touches pop up are awesome, really glad they still sound like a band too. Thom's voice hasn't lost anything.
3) "Bloom" is the shit.
4) I copied this for some speculation: So many rumors…”Yeah there are a lot of clues about a part 2. The concept of the “newspaper album” itself. The fact that they did not release the “album” saturday. The last song is called SEPARATOR and we can hear “If you think it’s over, then you’re wrong”. And the orders from the site are being marked TKOL1.”

Overall, much easier to get into than In Rainbows IMHO.

Edit: There's gotta be a Part 2 released tomorrow or at least in the way Amnesiac got released after Kid A. Too many little details point to it. I hope they follow through, it'd be beyond epic and a game changer.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

After 4 listens I love this album. During 1st listen I thought it was rather bland and the songs sounded the same to me. The more I listen to it though, this album is so layered its unbelievable and the percussion here is amazing.

One of my favorite moments is when Magpie kinda drops off and then comes rushing back with vocals and the funky bassline.

[IronMexican]

I'm pissed out of all the old songs, Magpie is in there. Gay.


I think I'll give it my 9th listen and wont go back to it till tomorrow.

[redzero]

Nine listens in one day? lol

[monosylab1k]

The resident Radiohead rimjobber has to live up to his reputation, but maybe he took it too far. I didn't even listen to MBDTF 9 times in the first week I had it, tbh.

[Fpoonsie]

Give up Ghost is beautiful :cry


Sons, I can't wait to name my son or daughter Thom once I have a kid.

[Sense]

Ahhhh I've been busy and just got it... just put it on my phone so I'm listenin on the go..

[IronMexican]

That's cause MBDTF was over an hour long. TKoL is 38 minutes.

[Reggie Williams]

Seperator is a fucking sweet song

[Reggie Williams]

anyway so far I like In Rainbows a lot better. I have yet to achieve Reckoner or Jigsaw ecstasy.

There shall never be another Reckoner-like ecstasy. Seperator is gooooood though.

In Rainbows I can listen to back to back to back to back and never get tired of it.. not one song is bad in that cd, they're all memorable in their own right..

I started with In Rainbows and I still think it's one of the best, not because I started with it.. but because even after listening to Kid A and OK Computer it was up there with them.

[koriwhat]

i remember when ok computer was considered groundbreaking... i like less synths, guess that's i like their first 2 records more than anything else i've heard of theirs.

[IronMexican]

BTW sons, I was warming up some beans earlier, and dancing to Lotus Flower with my headphones in, and my uncle walks in. That was pretty embarrassing.

[Stringer_Bell]

It's good, but are you kidding?

Yes. The Brit-Rock songs threw me off and seemed lazy, and I was initially bummed at the finished version of Arpeggi even though Nude, House of Cards, and Videotape were better than I could have imagined.

TKOL is like a really good essay where every paragraph is really well thought out. I dunno, I think it's up there with OK Computer and Kid A. When I was a freshman in high school, someone burned me every Radiohead B-side up until that point and it had so many good songs that I was wondering why they weren't on the record. This album feels like those B-sides, like a discovery and considering how much material Radiohead has, that's amazing IMO. It's also really optimistic I think, it doesn't feel too heavy or like its on auto-pilot - its just the right balance of thoughtfulness and jamming out.

HTTT had too many songs, didn't feel focused and sometimes felt redundant. If it was 9-10 songs, it's an instant classic. Nothing wrong with PH being at the top of someone's list, it's great rock music (Blow Out is a Top 10 track too).

[The_Worlds_finest]

Good Album :toast to Radiohead

[quentin_compson]

The wind section in "Bloom" totally sounds like Bitches Brew. Pretty cool.

And "Codex" and "Give Up the Ghost" are just beautiful.

[monosylab1k]

Not as good as Amnesiac

Is that the new hipster anti-conformist mantra? "Amnesiac was actually pretty good." I know it's mainstream to say it, but Amnesiac was okay at best. Extremely weak for a Radiohead album, right there with Pablo Honey and The Bends.

[monosylab1k]

btw the official ranking is

1. Kid A
2. Hail To The Thief
3. OK Computer
4. In Rainbows*
5. The King Of Limbs*
6. The Bends
7. Amnesiac
8. Pablo Honey

Non-debatable imho.

*these two might flipflop at some point, but at the moment that's how they currently rank.

i was listening to PH before there was muse, whoever that is, and most likely way before you've ever heard of RH.

soap box meet mono.

[IronMexican]

Can't call me a hipster and have HttT #2. Probably their least acclaimed album not PH.

[Stringer_Bell]

The youtube account is a troll, a very clever one but here's the song he/she used...

yE9cDoXCBVQ

Whoever did the videos did a good job, people were going looney over it and I was sure that Radiohead was responsible for that track because it sounded like something they'd do as far as chord progressions go. I'm sure there's some bummed people that jizzed their pants over it. :(

[leemajors]

Give up Ghost is beautiful :cry


Sons, I can't wait to name my son or daughter Thom once I have a kid.

giving up the ghost > give up the ghost.

Only 4 listens today sons.

I am loving Little By Little so far.

I need to listen to it 9 times per day for the next week before I come to any more conclusion though.

Or you can just wait until Pitchfork gives it a 9 so you can declare it AOTY.

[Greg Oden]

tbh they're waiting for the other 4 parts to be released before so they can review it as a whole.

[Spurminator]

I've given it a couple listens and I can't say I'm thrilled with it. It sounds like a collection of unfinished b-sides for the most part.

But all of their albums since Kid A have had to grow on me so I haven't given up on it either.

[Sense]

It's definitely getting better by the listen....

holy shit, little by little is fucking awesome.

Hail had the 4 single songs
In Rainbows had a 2nd disc.

How in the fuck does anybody like Muse? I seriously think they are the shittiest band I've ever heard in my life. I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher doing Creed covers for nine hours straight than listen to 2 minutes of Muse.

I agree with both sides of this. Muse does suck dick and Fran Drescher doing Creed covers would be fucking incredible.

[Dr. Gonzo]

So has this album changed humanity like it was supposed to?

I think I'd pick Muse over Coldplay. Do you prefer The Bends being ripped off, or No Surprises on repeat?

Technically, alls I did with that post was suggest that I prefer them to Muse. Which I do.

That said, I have admitted here before that I own and enjoy Coldplay's first two albums. I don't think they're particularly good or groundbreaking, at all, but they make for pleasant background music. I'm not ashamed.

[DieMrBond]

Relistening to In Rainbows now, after listening to The King Of Limbs... it seriously doesn't hold a candle - In Rainbows is SOO much better.

Have been pretty disappointed with The King Of Limbs so far, after several listens.

There is just no 'amazing' song on it, for me.

Going off of peoples previous rankings of albums, mine would be:

* OK Computer
* The Bends
* In Rainbows
* Kid A
* Hail to the Thief
* Amnesiac
* The King of Limbs
* Pablo Honey

[IronMexican]

PH and The Bends that high? You must have really been a fan of the 90's alternative scene.

[IronMexican]

And Loveless > Nowhere

Lotus FLower
listen with canalphones

[Venti Quattro]

I don't like the album.

[mFFL03]

After 20+ listens I agree, previous efforts like HTTT and IR are better.

I do welcome a return to more electro-beats, but I think previous efforts to pull off electronica songs live are usually hit or miss.

I kind of feel like a dad whose son brought home a finger painting from school to put on the fridge. The unconditional love in me tells him it's a great picture, but I know in a month I'll be taking it down to get back to my beautiful fridge behind it.

[romad_20]

Pretty good analogy. IR is better but at least its some new music to listen to. What do I know though, I really like Amnesiac and according to all the "super fans" on here its horrible.

roflroflrofl

It played. Det would be my reaction if I ever met someone who didn't like OK Computer. Gods work.

[redzero]

OK Computer is the GOAT.

Speaking of GOAT, Separator is so much better than Videotape as a closer, Goddamn. :cry

[IronMexican]

4 minute Warning is probably a better closer than both.

[Spurminator]

Street Spirit = best closer OAT

[redzero]

The Tourist is their best closer. Out of all of Radiohead's closers, I found Videotape to be be disappointing.

[IronMexican]

Street Spirit = best closer OAT

Hard to disagree with.

[monosylab1k]

I love Amnesiac. Hate HttT.

You have shitty taste in music.

[IronMexican]

You have shitty taste in music.

Det hurts. I was exaggerating on the whole hate, though. It's good, but just not consistent enough to be one of my favorites. Thom loves The Gloaming. No idea why. He also put out a different track listing for HttT. Felt it was bloated, I guess. He cut out Punchup, and that's all I remember.

[Greg Oden]

Videotape is NOT a bad closer.

[monosylab1k]

lol Motion Picture Soundtrack is too obvious a choice for any hipster to mention it.

No worries, that's only the best song on the album.

It's a good song, but the pauses are pointless.

If I had to list the closers from best to worst:

The Tourist
Separator
Street Spirit
Life In A Glasshouse/Wolf At the Door
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Videotape
the one from Pablo Honey... Blow Out

[IronMexican]

1. Street Spirit
2. MPS
3. Glasshouse
4. Blowout(by far my favorite song on PH)
5. Wolf at the Door
6. Seperator
7. The Tourist
8. Videotape

[Stringer_Bell]

Blowout is fucking great, and I just listened to "Videotape" while I read this thread http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174251

It reads like a suicide letter, them niggas gonna kill themselves. :cry

And does anyone know about the whole 01 and 10 conspiracy between In Rainbows and OK Computer? I checked it out this weekend, I dunno how to feel about it but apparently a buddy of Thom says there's a definite connection.

[redzero]

I read on Cracked about OK Computer and In Rainbows allegedly syncing up. I haven't bothered to try that, though.

That's understandable. Truth is MOST of Radiohead's songs are boring as fuck. Too many are a very faint "beat" with Thom singing for 5 min and that's it, while people like IM masturbate to it. Radiohead is still one of my favorite bands just because they do have so many songs that I love. Problem is I had to get through 4 terrible songs to find 1 good one. They're the definition of hit and miss tbh

While it is a straight moneygrab, it seems to me a very odd move by Radiohead. Are they capitalizing on the zealous fans' penchant for all things RH? I mean, it would seem to be...but that's just redundant.

[IronMexican]

I think it's up to the place. And it doesn't have to be an album. I also hear that a lot of the places giving these things away aren't even record stores. Some are newspaper stands. I guess you can buy a stick of gum and be on your way.

I guess if I had o buy something, I'd try to pre-order Burst Apart. If they even let you do that.
