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.
The king of limbs vinyl review.
In short if you like post ok computer radiohead you will enjoy listening to this record.
As you can see from the other reviews there is basically a consensus that this is a fantastic album.
The album cover is very very flimsy giving this a cheap feel.
At metacritic which aggregates scores from mainstream critics the king of limbs has an average score of 80 based on 40 reviews indicating generally favourable reviews.
I will weigh this in in my future purchases.
The vinyl itself is very clean and i can t find anything wrong with the audio quality.
Hopefully the 2016 remasters have better packaging.

However the packaging makes me very sad.
Radiohead music is dense and can take sometime to grow on you.
This is a sophisticated and highly evolved album that will only appease listeners on the same frequency.
Rhythm texture atmosphere are great ways to describe the king of limbs.
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.
It s a nice packing trick one that makes the album feel even lighter than its 37 minutes.
