About this album

Released: 18 Feb 2011 8 tracks (37:27)
The King of Limbs is the eighth studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich. It was released on 18 February 2011 as a download in MP3 and WAV formats. It was followed by a physical CD release on 28 March 2011. A special “newspaper” edition will be released on 9 May. The “newspaper” edition will contain two 10-inch vinyl records in a special record sleeve, many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork, a compact disc, and a colour piece of oxo-degradable plastic package. The album will be released by Ticker Tape in the United States, XL in the United Kingdom and Hostess Entertainment in Japan.

The album was announced on Radiohead’s website on 14 February 2011, four days before release. The name of the album refers to an oak tree in Wiltshire’s Savernake Forest, thought to be 1,000 years old. The tree is a pollarded oak, referring to an ancient technique for harvesting timber for fencing and firewood. Though it does not feature on maps, the tree is said to be 3 miles (4.8 km) from Tottenham Court House, where Radiohead recorded part of their previous album In Rainbows. On 18 February, Radiohead’s official blog published the first song from the album, “Lotus Flower”, with an accompanying music video, followed by a post announcing the album was released.

    i maybe feel like theres something missing between lotus flower and codex i think there should have been one more track somewhere middling the mood between the two but the final three tracks are so beautiful i can desrcibe,,, especially give up the ghost

    you're of course entitled to dislike this album, but to claim that there are no guitars on it is flat-out false. in fact there are more guitars here than there are on Kid A. also lol@Badfish33 YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS WITH THEIR JIGGERY JIVING KEYBOARD FARTS ARE RUINING MUSIC. who gave gramps the laptop?

    Take off Magpie, Little and Feral and you've got a really strong EP. Squeeze in Butcher and Staircase and voilà.

    I finally got this. It's really not that bad. I'd say better than Pablo Honey and AT LEAST equal to Hail to the Thief. The first half is really what brought it down.
