www.thekingoflimbs.com/DIUSD.htmRadiohead f**king did it again. Album comes out this Saturday. No word on the first single yet, but then again, they just announced the damn album, so no time for even a tracklisting yet. And if you couldn't tell by the link, the album is called The King Of Limbs. More like The King Of Not Bracing People For An Album Release.

Not really surprising or nuts, since In Rainbows was announced a mere 10 days before its on-site release. This was only just a bit quicker.

It is possible that the first single will be "Lotus Flower". A video for it was released shortly before the album was delivered to digital pre-orders today.

^That one was played this afternoon on Alt Nation, too. I wasn't able to give it my undivided attention, unfortunately (which also applies to why they were playing it).

My station played "Lotus Flower" today. probably the first single. don't know if it'll do much, not really a radio sounding song.

I'm a little surprised the album is only eight tracks. I wonder if they'll have a b-sides set like they did for In Rainbows.

Well if it's only eight tracks, they probably could've had this done in one or two weeks if they worked around the clock.

I haven't sought this out yet, but I certainly will soon. What are people's opinions here?

I should also check this out. Their last album was pretty strong.

I think it's a safe bet to say "Lotus Flower" is the first single.

I decided when I learned about the release at the web site that I'm just going to wait for its wide retail release, which shouldn't be too long from now. In fact, it's just 5 weeks away atm.
Song is okay. Video is entertaining.

Are they continuing with the "pay what you want" approach?

This is a true grower. I like it more each time I listen to it and it seems that much catchier each time around.
I do admit that I understand the more middling approach to the album. There's a few gems, though.

Of all the albums Radiohead has made, this reminds me a lot of Kid A.

You know what kind of bothers me about this album? Radiohead has never been a band to put out albums where I thought they were "of a piece", they've always changed up the game somewhat from song to song. And here was the first album from them in a while where the first song ended and I was anticipating what the next one would sound like, and it ended up sounding an awful lot like the first one. I don't mean to sound like I didn't enjoy the album, because I did, but this kind of work is what I expect from bands that are one trick ponies, and I know that Radiohead is not a one trick pony. Which is what makes this album so confusing. Does that make sense?

Just not feeling this one yet. I've heard this about 10 times so far and I couldn't describe anything I remember about this song other than its tempo.
