Kind of wonder why the physical copies don't come with instant downloads. The CD doesn't even come with a download at all.

Like, I like having physical copies, but I have to wait over a month to get it, and would only be able to listen to it in the meantime if I bought the digital copy in addition. And why would I buy the same album twice?

I dunno, didn't their last one add in an instant digital copy if you purchased the physical media? Isn't that how most bands that release stuff like this do it nowadays?

Eh I shouldn't really complain, they released their music and they aren't forcing me to buy or not to buy anything, so what more do I want? But actually yeah, more I do want. MORE.

i'm only thinking out loud here, and as i said, my impression may very well change over time -

but upon listening to the first half of the record, it all sounds very underwhelming and uninspired to me. it doesn't sound like it has that special interweaving collaboration that these guys are known for. it just continues to sound like thom yorke mumbling new songs on his piano and pimping phil selway into programming drum loops behind it.
songs ruminate and don't really go anywhere, don't feel very thought out, it don't sound like there's any excitement behind them. this is what bored musicians sound like.

If it was just the studio version of True Love Waits it would still be an A+ album.

Also: people who don't like King Of Limbs are uncultured swine.

It's a beautiful album. Glad it is less electronic.

It's extremely slow and mellow, so, if you dig that...

Much more jazzy and live instrument based, which is refreshing for a Radiohead album.

I bought it about an hour ago. On first, cursory listen sounds pretty gorgeous and, to me, like a subdued mix of some of the best parts of every post OKC album. Not all of it grabs me instantly, but I'll give it a better listen tonight

First impression:

some very beautiful stuff that takes the band in a slightly altered direction while mostly holding onto the minimalist ooooooaaaaahhh bleep bleep bloop that has characterized the second half of their career. I like it but I'm not sure it makes the kind of commanding statement I was hoping for like IR. I don't think it sounds uninspired, but it almost feels like the band feels they have nothing left to prove. I wouldn't say I am disappointed, and because it's Radiohead it's really difficult to make a judgement based on one listen, but I wish there were a little more energy on the album. Like a lot of their newer stuff, it's hard for me to shake the perception that Thom Yorke is doing 75% of the work

~Apparently Johnny Greenwood had a lot of input, writing the string parts, etc.

I don't like the snoring sounds at the end of 'Daydreaming'.

Downloading it now

Don't have to feel bad because I already bought the CD, I'm just waiting for it. So, I'm not really pirating any more than I would be if I just ripped the CD

I don't know why I'm justifying this as some exceptional case when most of the music I have on my harddrive is pirated anyway

It's so much like Faust which has to be one of their biggest influences

All of this stuff does what I think Radiohead did best with Kid A this Krautrock with a singer with an ear for pop hooks

I like it more than TKOL
the strings are a hit or miss for me, but I'm glad they went that direction, it is like the opposite from York's solo stuff

does anyone else think ending with True Love Waits is a really weird choice? how many of these songs are old?

tbh it's sounding a lot better to me today. coming around on it.
some of it still sounds oddly non engaging though. i'll listen to it a few more times before i'll really have an opinion.

soooo this album might actually be a work of staggering genius. There's a lot to digest. This is the most subtle Radiohead album, and everything came to life in a different way with good headphones and hellatrees in my mind.
