a bit late bit i picked this up today.

i really like it

the 2nd half has some really beautiful melodies going on. And the 1st half is nice and shuffely, nice textures and rythms

despite never having heard the reference, I'm looking at a sticker that says Souls Have No Drum Machine.

surely, this has deeper meaning.

no, trust me, if you are a percussionist (particularly of hand instruments such as clackers, shakers, bells, skins and drums) you will find there is nothing deepr than the original slogan

oh yeah, I must admit, I listened to kings of limbs a month after ignoring it for quite some time, I was about as frustrated with it as the rest of y'all. It hasn't even grown enough on me to give a chance, I'm throwing it in the pile of crap like The Bends. Oh well, five miraculous albums in a row spanning nearly 15 years, surely we can let a terrible album or two slide (this would include that terrible fucking the eraser album as well. much like how kid a/amnesiac/hail to the thief were really one long concept album split up and released as three but sound as one, so to does this recent album sound like a continuation of The Eraser)

i think this album gets better with more listenings. but for some reason, i don't find myself in the mood to put it on. it's nothing groundbreaking or different. just something nice to put on when i drink coffee and feel like having the hooks getting stuck inside my head all day

Give Up The Ghost is one of the most beautiful things they've done

Please re-read those two sentences. Radiohead apologists are the worst type of music fan.
