Album Notes & Community Reviews

Radiohead's eighth studio album is a rhythmic, loop-based exploration of texture and groove. 'The King of Limbs' relies heavily on sampling and complex percussion, creating a dense, forest-like atmosphere that feels more organic than their previous electronic work. It is a short, concise record that rewards repeated listening.
