Boo Hoo.

Have you seen how many replies The Klaxons thread gets these days? When this thread is like that then you can feel sorry for it.

God how can one even begin to choose one favorite album from Radiohead's list of amazingness?! Anyone digging Thom Yorke's new Atoms For Peace stuff?!

That album's gonna be good. Really liking 'Jury Judge and Executioner' right now. Can't wait to hear the rest!

Great, great band. My favourite album the past six months has been "In Rainbows". And to think I didn't even like it until a year and a half after the first listen! Well, when it comes to this band, I've never enjoyed the first listen, yet I love almost everything from "The Bends" 'till "In Rainbows". "The King of Limbs", on the other hand, just gets worse the more I listen to it, so I'll probably never gonna give it another try. I hope they can come back with another great album some day, though I know every band starts to suck sooner or later. :p

^^ speak for yourself. King of Limbs is a step up for me.

As in a step up from anything they've done, or from "In Rainbows". I don't like the drumming, the production, or most of the songs on "The King of Limbs". Especially the production is extremely lacklustre to me.

Yeah, I really did find the production lacking on TKoL, which is odd since I usually love Nigel Godrich. The songs really came alive in their live arrangements, though; I'd recommend listening to their From The Basement session from 2011 if you haven't already, it really does show how great some of the songs could be.

Yeah, I think its a great sign of their stuff to come. I think they should keep going in this direction.

Amen. IR was a decent album, but not up to Radiohead's par. It was very pretty, but, not a whole lot else. TKOL is chilling in a very neutral, detached way, which is terrifying when you think about it and just lovely if you don't. The only thing people knock it for (if you ask me) is the lack of closure it gives. I understand being frustrated with waiting five years for a half an hour of music, but that music was excellent.

I never got the claim that it didn't change it up enough either. IR was basically a slightly more upbeat re-up of music on HTTT. There are only a couple of traces of past material on stuff like "Codex" or "Separator" or maybe "Give Up the Ghost," which is acoustic like that one other song they did on HTTT.

Btw, guess wut:
