The King Of Limbs




Radiohead released its well awaited 8th studio album after a gap of 4 years on 18th february , a day before its set released . The album contains mere 8 songs
Here are the track listings--
1. Bloom
2.Morning Mr Magpie
3.Little by little
4.Feral
5. Lotus flower
6.Codex
7.Give up the ghost
8.Separator
The shortest album by the band so far  and no B-sides have been talked about  till now which is somewhat disappointing for the die hard fans. Anyway , the album opens with the track "Bloom" which is completely
 different music the band has so far produced ( I wonder how come they innovate so beautifully album after album .) the electronic assistance reminds of the Amnesiac period , Thom's falsetto sounds surreal and amazingly beautiful throughout the whole album. About the track "Lotus flower" , The band, already presented it at a live show for the Haiti's cause and the track Morning M'lord/Magpie appeared in the band's collection videos "The most gigantic lying mouth of all time ", however not taking away any credit from the fact that studio versions are much better.
The album in my opinion is totally different than what the most fans expected after the In rainbows , Radiohead never ceases to surprise its fans , though its different, it's as spectacular as their other albums. It's high on genuinely amazing lyrics and experimentation which are treat to the ears ,The album ends with the track "Separator" which in my opinion is one of the best ending track of all of their albums.
Finally , The album is splendid , If you are a fan for a while , you'll surely love it.
For the occasional Radiohead listeners I'll recommend the tracks Separator , Lotus flower.
Feel free to download them ,
