Robertsona, obviously I don't know this for sure, but I think if you get your hands on The King of Limbs - Live From the Basement and watch it straight though, it will probably change your mind about this record. At the very least, you won't likely think of it as boring any longer. When I first heard this album last March, I was of the same opinion: I had no idea how Radiohead had gone from In Rainbows to this. However, the more I listened, the more calm and accepting of the record I became, and, after getting stoned one night and watching the Live from the Basement set, I had my displeasure with it completely obliterated. I literally wept from the unrelenting beauty of "Codex." Anyway, I came here to say that I agree with this review a hell of a lot, but ended up saying a hell of a lot more. You may not agree with me, and perhaps it won't have as profound an impact upon you, but I suggest the Live from the Basement therapy to any person I meet who, like I once was, are unimpressed with The King of Limbs.



PS - Seeing them live on Wednesday night for the second time this year. They absolutely blew me away up at the Prudential Center in Newark a week or so ago. Cheers fellow Sputnikers.

This album grew on me like absolute crazy after seeing them a few weeks ago. Don't even know how it clicked so much, but this is great. Glad I finally got to see them and glad I finally found an appreciation for this as a whole.

agreed patrick - the From the Basement dvd totally floored me. the version of Bloom on that is much better than the LP version imo



so gutted about Saturday night's cancelled Toronto show...

Codex from the Basement is otherworldly in a way that just about tops all other quote unquote pretty Radiohead songs.

seeing this (everything but codex) live made me appreciate it much more. i've been listening to it like crazy over the past week. might bump it up to a 4.5

The first time I listened to this record, I did not like it. However, as I listened to it for a second time, it grew on me, and I now love this album.

Radiohead is a fascinating pop phenomenon in that Thom Yorke has very limited musical ability, as

well as being extremely ugly and annoying. It would've been better if Radiohead had remained the

quaint low-rent cult indie band of the early 90s. But OK Computer was embarrassing. Yet Radiohead

became inexplicably popular. The only possible explanation seems to have been fans' musical

illiteracy. All anyone had to do was listen to Phaedra, Wish You Were Here or Autobahn to become

instantly aware of Radiohead's absolute mediocrity and unworthiness. The Wall, for example, is a

majestic statement which makes OK Computer or Kid A look feeble in comparison.



Radiohead album sales always relied on the gullibility of the public since it had been done before

and better. The difference is that Pink Floyd - whom Yorke obviously idolize - actually have songs.

Good songs. But teenagers didn't want to make the effort to find any of this out, they just followed

fashion's flow and still do. Perhaps the worst thing about Radiohead is that they spawned a whole

genre of excruciatingly twee music for bedwetters sung in falsetto by the likes of Coldplay.

Can you say 'pretentious?'
