some of his quotes to the media sound so self deluded, ignorant, inane and slow witted, that they should be bronzed. let his 15 minutes begin…
damn skippy 
From a musical reference point, The glitch feel programming production and the billowy textures of vocals. The Eraser is the closest reference in my opinion, other then Amnesiac.I’m looking forward to giving the album more time to get into. I hated The Eraser. I don’t hate The King of Limbs. BUt I don’t exactly love it either 
mikey, do you have assholeitis?
well fair enough. I guess my gripe is that Amnesiac and The Eraser kind of mastered that left feild territory. The King of Limbs just kind of hints at old directions from the past but brings nothing fresh to the table. If i wanted to hear Flying Lotus, I’d go out and buy it. I miss the over-reaching epic drama of OK Computer, the stormy emotional aien epic of Kid A and the tunes of The Bends. I don’t understand why so many on this thread don’t get where I’m coming from.The King of Limbs isn’t a fail, but its a minor dissapointment, particualry after waiting 4 years.
you sound like Cartman 
I just imagine his voice.
Pulk Pull a masterpiece? Pair that track against Karma Police and then let’s talk.
what a stupid comment. Since an unfinished relatively boring work will suddenly feel complete and interesting?
and I agree with you. But it seems to be a “true” Radiohead, one must blindly accept whatever they put out and to not like it is to be outside the inner circle majority of the “forward thinking” fans like many of the stereogum idiots who think Amnesiac is their best work evah. But how many radiohead fans are consistently praising The Eraser? The King of Limbs is essentially The Eraser rewritten and The King of Limbs feels unfinished and at times quite boring.But to say that is not “get” it.
you have a point there. “Give up the Ghost” is the album highlight for me and ti redeems The King of Limbs in the second half.
fucking yeah man like totally fucking ya dude:P …NOT
so this album is pretty good, but feels a bit incomplete. to be honest, these “rave” reviews and said reviewers will proabbly calm down once they live with this record for a season. It doesn’t reward the intimate emotionally satisyfing listens of “The Bends” or have the truly forward thinking electronics of “Kid A” or the epic completness from start to finish of “OK Computer”. It sounds like In Rainbows/The Eraser counterpart, but less accomplished. Still, it might notch its way up to almost be as good as Amnesiac, which is still not a Radiohead top album. Still, “Give up the Ghost” is fantastic song and a true highlight. Just a bit underwhelming as a whole. If there is a double album, then the momentum might make more sense and it might truly lift the value of this one, but if that, its good, interesting and they are not repeating themselves, but its not a giant in their canon. Anyone who thinks so will rub the pixie dust from their eyes after a few more listens.
and talking about “Amnesiac” not “Fog”
=)
absolutely. When I first listened to it, I hated it. Years later, I appreciated it. Now I find it mildly good, with some great elements. Buts its completely ridiculous and dodgy to overpraise it. Its not as fantastic as In Rainbows, The Bends, Kid A or OK Computer which are their absolute best work. But non musical people will continue to post stupid comments on stereogum about its value above other said stellar records. And people will continue to be stupid, so love them anyway.
Amnesiac lovers gave me many thumbs down
in retrospect it’s still head and shoulders above most bands finest work…but it was still a bit of a disappointment coming on the heels of OK Computer and Kid A, IMHO
pretty stinking hilarious:)
very eloquent praise from a man who calls himself baboon cock.
=)
and a new Radiohead album is ALWAYS cause for celebration:) Except Amnesiac.
eh, it’s just that they are a sham band and it’s frustrating for me to see these barely competent prima donnas get so much exposure when I have friends in NYC and L.A. busting their virtuostic chops to get peanuts.
FYI, ECT.

starlando loves SP =) and once in a while should have been on Adore.
considering you seem like an idiot, lets be nice…hipsterdom usually attracts “soulless hyped bands” and Vivian Girls are no exception. I’m guessing you haven’t seen how they treat their “fans” at their shows, how they do interviews, or much really about their lack of tact, humility and competence at playing their instruments, You sir, are an idiot.
I love reviling this over hyped soulless arrogant band. Their lack of imaginative concept behind their artwork is also indicative of whats inside it: nothing.
excellente observation.
some shockingly stupid choices, mostly like klaxons and Madonna “borderline” while omitting “sledgehammer” and “smells like teen spirit”, but still some solid choices and KUDOS to the #1 pick..absolutely hands down agree to it being the most emotive and evocative and meaningful music video ever made…
