My impression on first listen to the new Radiohead album: it's like a watered-down version of a lot of their past work. They've gone on autopilot.
The King of Limbs sounds most like their previous album, In Rainbows, which I wasn't a big fan of either. But at least In Rainbows had 2 standouts: "All I Need" and "Nude." I'm not hearing any standouts on The King of Limbs.
The album is fine, not bad. But Radiohead used to be in the forefront of interesting, challenging new music. They're now just one more band.
Here's "Lotus Flower" from The King of Limbs:
