No, but it was just my way of saying I disagreed. :D

it wasn't very informative. I'm aware people have opinions.

Absolutely. Most groups don't really evolve that much, maybe this has become more and more the case over time. In some ways I suppose this is ok as it pleases the fan base which likes them based on their style of music as much as anything. But for the more general audience they might get bored and just move onto someone else. There's plenty of music out there anyway and I have no attachment to them beyond just picking out what I like.

I still think Lotus Flower is possibly their best song since Kid A. One song doesn't make an album however.

I don't know, lotus flower is good, but it still seems really lacking to me. It should have at least built up a little. IMO just about every song from kid a up through in rainbows is better. This just seemed like a really boring radiohead release to me.

Good to brilliant. The only song that I flat out do not like is Feral. Codex and Give Up the Ghost fit in with Radiohead's best in my opinion.

The King of Limbs is a good album, but I was hoping for more. Lotus Flower and Feral are great songs, but apart from that it was a bit disappointing. The Butcher from their record store day single is much better, though.

Feral? Na, it was decent, but just not enormously impressive. Codex was kind of a disappointment for me as well. It seemed to have this huge acclaim for being just like a newer version of Pyramid Song and Videotape, but unlike the first two, it didn't get exciting halfway through or chill you to the bone. Otherwise, I'm a fan of every track on the (pre-record store day) album.

The Final Track 06-23-2011 05:02 PM

Agree concerning Codex. Feral is one of the highlights off the album, though. I look forward to how they'll do it in the From The Basement broadcast.
