Radiohead - Lotus Flower (The King Of Limbs)

Track 5 from 'The King Of Limbs' By Radiohead.

It's too early to say that this could be Radiohead's best album to date, or weather it can live up to 'In Rainbows' artistry. King of Limbs revisits the Kid A / Amnesiac period that alienated so many fans of OK Computer but does so with a greater maturity and weight of experience that enriches both the songs and the process. The members of Radiohead are growing into middle age now; it makes sense, perhaps, to increasingly align themselves with jazz and the experimental tradition rather than the youth and virility-obsessed conventions of rock n' roll. King of Limbs is Radiohead moving further into leftfield, away from the mainstream they once courted, a mainstream that will no doubt damn this album as pretentious and self-indulgent, with all the confused venom of a lover spurned. And they will no doubt meet with equal brickbats from the other side, once again cursing them as an uppity pop band appropriating the innovations of the avant-garde for their own ends, like Bowie before them. I don't really care.

ENJOY!

I wish people would stop comparing the new album with old albums. Let the new album stand by its own merits. Radiohead still puts out better music than 90% of the crap that is called music these days.

Music isn't about perfection, it's about expression. And I think Radiohead is able to express themselves better than almost any artist I've ever heard.

@bradco6

I agree with you, but at the same time, I happen to believe that The King of Limbs is the greatest thing Radiohead have ever done. Ever.

Ever!
