The King of Limbs is Radiohead’s first release since 2007’s magnificently moody ‘In Rainbows’, and in that time, Yorke made more strides as a solo artist, Jonny Greenwood has scored some films, ‘Harry Patch’ and ‘These Are My Twisted Words’ were released as stand-alones, Phil Selway released his first solo set, and so forth.

Reconvening after a period of separation clearly demanded some recalibration or unfurling. While Yorke’s coo and ambiguous lyrical codes haven’t seemed to change much, the band on the whole structurally threw a lot out the window; rather, they don’t lack structure, but rather their structures remain remarkably simple.

There’s plenty of familiar ground covered in ‘The King of Limbs’, so nothing’s going to shove a Radiohead fan off his tracks, but the new, simpler sounds will certainly create a few new fans.
