untiliwakeup Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I think what had me irritated was someone was comparing it to Coldplay, which is fucking ridiculous. If anyone doesn't like it thats perfectly fine.I know the first time Ive heard many Radiohead tunes I was underwhelmed but in time they've become classics to me. Burn the witch literally sounds like classic Radiohead to me which has me extremely thrilled to hear more 32 minutes ago, Kanye West said: . Oh of course. Agreed. I plan to. I was just in here to play devil's advocate because no one was saying anything remotely negative and I didn't think it was a perfect track. Wanted to get a conversation going (ideally about the history of the song) more than an argument but on VC that can be near impossible.

Rip Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well shit. Saw that this had jumped in pages and thought a preorder was up already. Carry on. lampwick and untiliwakeup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack8urt0n Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 First time I heard King of Limbs, I liked it, but it didn't totally click with me. Then I saw the "In the Basement" version, and I was hooked. I think there is some seriously cool shit happening in the arrangement. Really looking forward to seeing the Basement version now so I can see how they pulled off some of these sounds. And, of course, how this song fits into the flow of the record. I'm not a die hard Radiohead fan, but usually whatever single they put out is my least favorite track on the album. If this ends up being my least favorite song on the record, then I'm in for treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Rainbows > Kid A > OK Computer > Hail to the Thief > The Bends > The King of Limbs > Amnesiac > Pablo Honey But I really do love every album of theirs in their own right.

birdwell Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Personally, I didn't care for King of Limbs for the same reason I didn't care for The Eraser. I don't particularly care for electronic music....King of Limbs didn't have enough guitar driven tracks and the drums all sounded like they were electronic. Just not a record I enjoyed at all. Stoked that this sounds more like Spectre or Spector (however it's spelled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boops_popmarket Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 King of Limbs sounded like Radiohead got sucked into a computer and I was outside of the computer listening to their 16-bit selves play b-sides for their actual LP8 through the speakers. It has not aged well, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The King Of Limbs is easily top 5 albums all time. Fucking masterpiece. lampwick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwalsh6 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's blowing my mind that people think TKOL is lifeless sounding. I think it has one of the most immediately recognizable textures of any album, like ever. And there were two drummers on it! But ya know, opinions. Didn't love the new song upon first listen, then I went home and listened to it on my main setup and that immediately changed. Crazy composition with the strings, love the subtle changes in mood from part to part, rather than standard verse/chorus/verse shit. Getting some heavy Jonny Greenwood soundtrack vibes. Stoked.

ntslash Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Anyone comparing this song to Coldplay thinks they sound smart because they can name more than one song that has strings in it. But if you think this song sounds like anything Coldplay has ever done, then you are most definitely not paying attention.

DecayToDeath Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 As a fan of both Coldplay and Radiohead, I can confirm that there is little similarity. Also, I'm not big on TKOL, but I also feel that I never gave it a fair shot. I've heard it like twice, maybe. untiliwakeup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd_z Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I like TKOL, but it felt more like an EP to me. I like their other albums a little more. Codex tho.... that song gets me every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Are all of their albums about to be reissued soon? Was just looking on amazon and I could see about 6 of them with a May 20th release date. Might be old news, but still thought it was worth mentioning. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
