Not sure if there's been any discussion in The Water Cooler about it yet, what do people think of King Of Limbs?

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

It's okay. If you're a Radiohead fan you'll like it regardless, to a certain extent.

I enjoyed it, but nowhere near as much as any of their previous works. A good number of the songs are repetitive to the point where it's the same sound looped for the entire 4-5 minutes. Would've liked to seen some variation but it's still a nice listen. My favourites are Lotus Flower and Codex.

Anybody been hearing the rumours about a second part to this album?

It sounds like they decided to forage into Trip Hop to be honest. Wouldn't call it one of their better material nor would I include it in a 2011 list. Music-wise, it was quite tame.

It wasn't as good as their other albums and there wasn't the same sort of emotion in the songs as I have felt in others. That said, I've only heard it twice and so I can't realy judge it yet. I really like little by little though.

It's a mix between Kid A and Hail to the thief, IMO but also it seems to be a Thom York album, not a real radiohead album. I haven't read any reviews yet so I don't know what they think, I heard Pitchfork gave a 7.9 which I guess is kind of expected.

But I enjoyed/enjoy listening to it, and eagerly await for May when my Newspaper album will arrive.

For a pretty short album it had some good songs. I liked Morning Mr Blackbird, Little by Little, Lotus Flower and Codex. It felt a lot like The Eraser though, and I miss Jonny's violent guitar playing.

I've heard some people say that there might be more songs we haven't yet heard, which might possibly come on the Newspaper album. The last conspiracy theory http://puddlegum.net/radiohead-01-and-10/ turned out to be correct, so maybe this also will be :]
