Definitely. The Tourist is such a nice and calming song, I just find it way more appealing than Let Down.

The one person who thought The King Of Limbs was their favorite album was banned. Anyone smell music banter conspiracy?

It's among my favorite, at leAst in the top3, but it's damn hard to pick considering what there is to love about each album

Oh please sir! It may have been much too in rainbows-ish but it does build with great grace.

And piggy boy. Climbing up the walls is snoozeville, everyything on that second half is except for electioneering and that one's just awkward. I don't see how Walls builds any better than Let Down either, and I don't care toooo much for that track either.

I will say, reading about Okc is interesting, but my radiohead and philoSophy book just needs an updating (this is where I should rag on IR). However, in general response I would say the shorter track list may be unfair, but less is certainly more I that case so that's just logic. Besides twelve songs isn't t h a t long for an album. PS TKOL is much more shrouded in mystery ant generally more interesting than Okc for reasons i'll likely divulge into later

I'm giving The King Of Limbs another go.

Well, the Walls builds up towards SOMETHING at least, Let Down flows on without reaching anything climax-like and just doesn't interest me. The Walls Is much darker, creepier, gives me a feeling like someone or something is stalking me, it piques me with its imposing drums and weird backgroudn noises while Let Down just is there in its place, it does its thing and then leaves without impressing me.

I listened to it quite a few times last year to get into it and gavve up then tried again last Winter and it was my album de jour, so to speak, for a while. Got me through a very cold Febuary so it did begorah! So yeah. Well worth sticking with 'cause it's surprising how you can hate something so much then grow to love it.

That's happened to me quite a bit.

King Of Limbs definitely feels like winter music.
