So I revisited The King of Limbs this evening
and it's a lot better than I remember. I hadn't spun it since late April but, with a good 6 months since the initial explosion of excitement/feeling of disappointment had stopped lingering, the cloud of emotions surrounding its release and my immediate reaction has settled and I can see that's it's quite a lovely record. Even Feral is beginning to sound pretty decent.
Still, I'd put it as my second-least favourite Radiohead record (I'm a big HTTT fan) but not quite the massive let-down I thought it was.
It fits into the 2011 mold pretty well I think: Innovative and forward-thinking record; good, not great though. A solid 7/10.
But yeah, who cares, whatever.
