Incredible production. Sounds unfussy and organic, but not because there's not a lot going on. It's more because everything's got room to breathe. And yeah, like i said It's like Kid A fed through the warm textures of In Rainbows.

Thanks for the heads up, now I don't have to wait till tomorrow to check on it.  I'm going to give it a listen and see how it stacks up to the rest of their discography.

I don't know where you're drawing the Kid A comparisons from. This is laid back Radiohead all the way through the album. It does not have the dynamics of Kid A.

Codex is breathtaking. Very reminiscent of Pyramid Song. Give Up the Ghost seems like a song I've known forever, a favourite residing in the subconscious. These songs have really clicked on second listen.

"If you think this is over then you're wrong" x4 on the last track, 'Separator'.

Makes me wonder if there's a chance that a follow-up/Part II might be dropped on us unsuspecting folk in the near future...

last 4 songs > first 4 songs

I think this just might be the most slow-burning grower of an album that Radiohead has ever put out.

After a couple of listens, I'm going to have to agree with you that at the moment I'm liking the second half over the first half.
 
Though that might change the more I listen to it.  But so far it's like it gets better with every track.
 
Since there was that whole In Rainbows and OK Computer comparison I'm going to need to spend some time comparing The King of Limbs to Kid A over the weekend.

yeah, this is really a 4 song EP that they decided to put 4 generic house ambient tracks in front of to call an album.  Those 4 songs make up for it though.

The first half is the more spazzy experimental electronica part of the album... like Radiohead doing a Flying Lotus. The second half continues more in the vein of In Rainbows.

Here is an abbreviated review 

 

[Antony6555]

Kid A has two of my favorite songs ever "Morning Bell" and "Everything in it's Right Place," but the rest of the album is kind of meh to me. I wish they would have gone with that dark electronic-ambient sound more, made it more a theme album. In Rainbows didn't really do anything for me.
 
On a side note, I went to radiohead's site and found that their new album isn't free.

 

[fjrabon]

Feral was definitely a song made for headphones though with its soundstaging.  Overall I find it kind of boring, but there are parts that actually scared me the first time I heard it on my AD700's.  I actually looked up and to the right thinking somehow my speakers had been turned on for a second.  

 

[GTRacer]

Fourth time around and I'm loving it now. Definitely a headphone album though.

 

[EnOYiN]

Wow. Thanks for the heads up guys.
 
Downloading now...
