Radiohead - The King Of Limbs

Hmmm, another album to drop out of nowhere. I've paid for the newspaper album thing whatever it is, works out roughly the same for the special edition of Barking, so for artwork, a CD and two 10" I think its a fair deal. Wish I knew a tracklisting though.

that shibuya thing is quite... odd. and cryptic.

also bought the newspaper edition with the mp3s.

I tried to order the deluxe version w/ the wav downloads, gave all my info and whatnot...
then after I clicked "purchase" - the page sort of 'flashed" (like reloading)

and I never got a confirmation email... so I'm not sure if my order went through or not...

I checked "order status" and I got the message

You do not have any valid orders.

did this happen to anyone else? I just don't want to be charged twice... (if I try to do it again)

yes, i tried it that way too with a credit card. IT did the exact same thing to me-so i tried paypal. worked like a charm.. got a confirmation and everything.

it irritates me that they're doing this crap about two 10" lps again. they need to just do one LP like in rainbows. it's only nine tracks and it's a pain in the ass to have an LP that short split like that.

and the first single is lotus flower - good thing to wake up early to. liked the bassy vibe.

hated the dancing, why thom is getting all exposed? he used to be shy, 'don't want cameras around me'

album is out.

joethelion · #8 02-18-2011, 07:09 AM

I tried to download - using my email that I registered with... and nothing happened

so I went ahead and did it again -> and it WORKED!!

listening now!

It's not bad. Better first impression than their last record. Definitely not a band record though. Whereas the last one was. It sounds mostly like Thom sitting in front of a drum machine and synthesizer, much like his solo album "The Eraser." Hmm. Some interesting cuts on here tho. A good effort. Not a strong one. But I'm sure it'll grow on me. Separator and Lotus Flower are good recordings. Give Up The Ghost is decent but could have been a little better, in my opinion. Not sure why they decided to do a fast version of Morning Mr. Magpie with drum machines - their old version was much slower and featured an acoustic guitar, and I preferred that version. Still waiting for them to record Follow Me Around

Yeah, but on two pieces of vinyl it will be sounding much better, much louder too. Are you gonna play it on vinyl that much?
