It's a great album.
Burn The Witch, Daydreaming and True Love Waits are definitely the standout tracks, but the others just keep getting better and better each listen. Decks Dark and Ful Stop are brilliant, and the others are just perfect slow-burner tracks - Present Tense especially.
Desert Island Disk is pretty crappy though.

Re: Radiohead album - The King of Limbs - TOURING IN NOVEMBE
Ha..Listening to Decks Dark as I read your post. Yeah the same three "main" songs leap out for me too...it's always the same for me..I find the important stuff down the road. Glass Eyes is pretty. The Numbers is huge. Present Tense is one of my instant stand outs. Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief is a fucking glorious technicolour journey. I don't mind Desert Island Disk, it's really only Identikit that isn't grabbing me.
This is a solid album. It seems to draw from years of doing what they do (keep changing), all brought together.
Oh and Maddy, sometimes it takes a while for any RH album to be fully discovered. Well, it does for me.

Yeah definitely - there's bits and shades of OKC, Kid A/Amnesiac and In Rainbows all over this, all tied together with Jonny's incredible composing. It's all very theatrical.
True Love Waits...man I can't do anything when that is on - I just need to be...still. The history and emotion behind it, it's gutting.

I've given it a solid listen and it's a decent album. It won't feature in my albums of the year but Daydreaming certainly would for song of the year. In fact I love the piano throughout the album, the musicianship is excellent. It's the subtleties in Daydreaming which makes it so good.

What's not OK is the faint background smudge on the mobile version of the website. I didn't know if it was my phone or eyes that were fucked, but eventually I decided that it was their website.

I think I said I'd do it. Did it.
