What's made you think that? I've always been under the impression that they felt more together now than ever.

Not so much they will split up, just not release another Radiohead record for quite a long time. They each have their own personal persuits and participation in various things, I know they seem much happier as a band and the dynamics are perfect, I am just treating this release with some caution, once i hear it im sure all my concerns will be gone. They are quite a capricious band, it's always interesting to see where they go with each album - I think i am just in two minds whether this album will say anything new, who knows. Knowing Radiohead it probably will.

King of Limbs is being released TODAY (Friday), 24 hours earlier than planned.

And this is the video for Lotus Flower, from KoL.

Keep an eye on your inboxes.

Edit: If you've pre-ordered, the download link is now active. Go go go!

this album is on par with their best (In Rainbows) right now in my mind.

Some I love, some will take time to grow on me.

Wow. Lotus flower is pretty good.

Wow, this album is really something different from anything they've ever released!

As of right now, it's not one of my favourites but I definitely like it - it's nice to
see them trying new things still!

(the beats remind of artists like the Field and Four Tet)

I think it's fantastic, the production is mind blowing. I'd say it's definitely not for everyone but it's right up my street

Going to be listening to this one for a while.

Okay, so I need to give this a few more listens before I can review it, but for the record I would just like to go ahead and say that FUCKING CHRIST this is a good album.

I haven't felt so excited about an album in a long time. I'd definitely say it's one of my favourite Radiohead albums.

Every time I hear a new Radiohead album I expect to be disappointed just because they can't surely keep up such a high standard. But then I remember it's Radiohead, the greatest band of this generation. Needless to say i like it. Only time will if I love it.

My feelings exactly. I remember after In Rainbows came out, I said to myself, "How the fuck do they expect to top this?" ...and BOOM. They've done it again.

That last track has got to be one of their best ever...

"If you think this is over then you're wrong"

So surely more to come from them then!

Great album, was better the second time round. Will try not to over listen like I do with every album I love.

Anyone else lovin' Thom's dancing in the Lotus Flower video? All my friends are knocking it, but I think it's a beautiful expression of the music... and typical Thom Yorke.

i liked Lotus Flower. That's the first Radiohead song I've liked since Creep. This is a landmark event for me!

It's kind of amazing to me how they keep being relevant. Come sit by the fire and this old lady will tell you a story: I was 11 in 1997 when I discovered Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson and I was blowed away. In 2001 I got fed up with Manson so I became a musicless 14 year old kid, until I stumbled upon Pyramid Song on the TV. I was so incredibly moved by that song that the next day I bought Amnesiac and discovered Radiohead. So for many years I was a huge, huge Radiohead fan and the best thing is that they opened up a whole new world for me, up until that point I didn't took music very seriously (as you might figured out by my Manson story). I can't say I discovered BoC through Radiohead because I did it by myself and much later I found about Yorke's love for them, but I still think that I wouldn't liked BoC or many other musicians if it weren't for my love for Radiohead.

Now I sort of got past them. It's not that I don't like them but I don't usually hear a Radiohead album often. At least that's what I always said until they came on yet again with another great album. I don't know if King of Limbs is better than Kid A and I don't care, I just know I started listening to this album today and I just couldn't stop myself pressing the "repeat" button.

Is it just me, or do they keep getting more and more psychedelic w/their stuff? A few tracks from KOL, along with 'These Are My Twisted Words' remind me of some old school Floyd, or something. S'crazy beautiful.
