For the release of their 8th studio album, released in 2011, Radiohead created a veritable controversy among their fans. The content of The King Of Limbs is difficult to access, syncopated, and sometimes a little heavy on the digestion. Often epileptic, the songs on this opus are rendered distinct by a strong rhythmic thread, woven into every song. Unlike the free-flying, and often warm, melodies on In Rainbows, The King Of Limbs prefers the coldness of the electric beat. But in the same vein as Amnesiac or Kid A, there's still a coherent whole to be deciphered through the confusing sounds. Once you listen to the record a couple of times the whole way through, it's impossible not to be impressed by at least the vision of the group, and their fearlessness in attempting to go beyond their almost sacred borders. Standout songs include but are not exlusively: Lotus Flower, Feral, Give Up The Ghost… As per usual with Radiohead, the record screams of classy production and abounding talent, filled with extra details that diehard fans and newcomers alike will lap up. The King Of Limbs is further proof that this stalwart of British music isn't quitting any time soon. © AR/Qobuz
