The King of Limbs by Radiohead

Another stealth bomber album has been released by Radiohead and it's a good one. The King of Limbs was announced midweek and released on Friday as a digital download. They have described the album (in it's ultimate physical release) as possibly the worlds first newspaper album. i don't know if this refers to the physical form of the release or the quick and disposible nature of the digital release.



The music of The King of Limbs feels immediate. The album is 37 minutes long and features 8 songs. After a couple of minutes of listening to the first song I knew I liked it. This is not always the case with Radiohead records.



I'll be listening to this a few more times over the next month or two until my 'newspaper album' arrives.
