Haven't heard it in a while, but I remember it being decent.

i await the new Radiohead album which i suspect will be a conclusion of a trilogy. In Rainbows was a Starbucks CD of IDM covers, The King of Limbs was the same for dub and minimal techno, and I assume the new one will be an equally embarrassing shallow parody of early '00s dubstep.

Good, with great moments, but not quite great on the whole. That being said, it is hard to pick tracks.
Track picks
1. Bloom
5. Lotus Flower
6. Codex
8. Separator

Dissapointing. Especially for Radiohead.
Lotus flower is great though, and so is Codex

What it lacks in substance it makes up for in style. It captures an atmosphere of a kind of electronic, creepy fairytale very well. I like it. I reckon if anyone other than Radiohead had made it, it would be forgotten pretty quickly. But they didn't.

Their worst album and quite boring as a whole. However, you can always rely on Radiohead album openers and closers to be top-notch and the case is the same here, and admittedly tracks 3-5 are also enjoyable. So I guess just removing the rest (maybe replacing it with The Daily Mail and one or two other tracks from the non-album singles) would vastly improve it.

It is just as good as their other albums, it is just different. All of your favorite artists that looked up to yorke and greenwood before the king of limbs still look up to yorke and greenwood.
Nothing has changed
Bloom, feral and seperater are my favorites with magpie and lotus flower a little behind.
Codex is sometimes great, the basement version is real nice.
