It's going to be hard, trying to go back to school. I've been in a coma this weekend, listening to "The King of Limbs" on repeat with my good friend from UK. Although I wouldn't call it an album (I'd rather say EP), the tracks on it are beyond beautiful, fantastic and amazing. There are just a few things I've thought about... like how it almost looks and sounds like a solo album by Thom Yorke. If you saw the music video for "Lotus Flower", you'll know what I mean. The others aren't present, it's just Thom and his wonderful dancing. As I said, it's wonderful, so I don't mind him dancing and all. But it's just the fact that the others are so abscent.
My friend first told me before I got the album myself (he was a lot quicker, LOL)... it just feels like the guys (minus Thom) aren't that present in there. Okay, you can hear their instruments. But you could hear more vocal appearances in the previous albums. Nothing more than Thom now. That's why it kind of feels like it's a Thom Yorke album. And not one by Radiohead.
The other thing is that there were only 8 tracks on the "album"/EP. I really hope they'll release yet another album soon, with the "rest" of the songs. It's just a tad disappointing when the few songs on the album are so great... you just want more of it but you have to start over again after merely an hour of listening.
Other than that - you guys've made the best best best album. Or EP. Or whatever. Still, the best damn tracks in quite some time. Thank you.
