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 was 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 needed time for this album. my suggestion - listen vinyl version, if you can. it's completely different sphere.

    I think I could buy that radiohead put little effort into this album to see what they could get away with. Still alright... I wouldn't pay money for it though.

    This whole album to me symbolizes a spiritual journey, much like Dante's Inferno--a descent into the dark woods of mid-life crisis only to emerge with newfound life. An excellent and highly under-appreciated album.

    Sounds like a bad b-sides to "The Eraser" [2] And The Eraser was bad enough to begin with.

    This album sounds best when played live. It gives me the impression that there are other musicians behind the instruments. There are good songs hiding in this album, but they only truly shine when played in front of a live audience (or in Nigel Godrich's Basement).

    sunheadbowed had me going until the last sentence. this album sucks and all, I agree, but Radiohead has stayed fresher more often than most other bands.
