Refresh the Calendars: King of Limbs TODAY


After shocking the hell out of all us by announcing the release of their eighth album King of Limbs earlier this week, Radiohead thought they may as well release it one day earlier--today. It's a new day, folks, and I'm looking forward to this album defining my next couple weeks.

I'm about two listens in, and though I won't spoil the suspense, I will say this: it's the most natural album they've made. I won't call it a masterpiece, yet--I'm not quite qualified at a mere two listens--but there's some goddamned beautiful moments.

King of Limbs is available digitally for only 9 bones on the album website. Do yerself a solid and buy it here.

And

Dig the music video for the kick-ass "Lotus Flower" here.

  4. Interesting take, I find this album to be rather unnatural. But it appears that Radiohead has once again proven to be the only band that can out-Radiohead Radiohead.

    I've also been hearing the same rumors as Austin. stoked.
