Still overrated, should't be on top 10 never but it grew up a little bit on me. Codex ended up being one of my favorite songs of this year but the other songs are average. I even liked more some remixes that the actual songs, "Little by Little" Caribou remix is SICK.

I think that the real question should be this:

Is King Of Limbs the 255th greatest album of all time?

It's not an avant garde album or with some weird stuff that needs any time to be appreciated. An average album, which will remain average 1 year later, 2years later, a decade from now...
I still think that it was a kind of joke by radiohead. And of course even a genious's joke is still listenable.

P.S : radiohead is my 2nd favorite band of all time, and I have 6 of their records in my chart.

Where's the option for having loved it since it came out?

I liked it from the beginning, especially the second half. The first half (minus Bloom) I had more trouble with, but I can say I don't mind any of them now, and I actually really like Morning Mr Magpie, which I didn't initially. So yeah I guess it has kinda grown on me, but I really never found it a disappointment. It's not a "classic" in the way their best albums are, but it's a very good album nonetheless.

I probably am kidamnesiac.

But it just doesn't get it for me. I wish that it did. 🙁

I just listened to it today at work, and even liked Feral. Interesting how our perceptions can change...

I just saw a strain of disappointment with Radiohead's King of Limbs. I too had a hard time appreciating it at first. I felt two things- There was a bunch of B-side material from early days that was reworked. Codex was just Pyramid Song all over again, but I agree Codex is better. Feral has got to be the worst song ever written. That song felt like the old days of CD's skipping.

This was my facebook post the week it released:
Radiohead: King of Limbs. Mixed feelings. Bloom: not great- bass saves it. Morning Mr Magpie- ok to good. Little by Little- could grow on me. Feral: worst song ever- sounds like a combination of a track skipping on a CD and two songs playing at the same time over each other (fine line between cool and crap). Give up the Ghost: Absolutely Gorgeous. Seperator: Good- Guitar melody at the end is to die for.
