Answer
The King of Limbs
Answer
The King of Limbs
Radiohead released the album The King of Limbs in 2011. It is the English rock band’s eighth studio album and followed In Rainbows, continuing Radiohead’s movement away from straightforward guitar rock toward electronic textures, looping rhythms, and experimental arrangements.
The album was released digitally in February 2011, with physical editions following later. Its title refers to an ancient oak in Savernake Forest in Wiltshire, England, sometimes associated with the King of Limbs name. The record contains eight tracks, including “Lotus Flower,” whose striking black-and-white music video featured Thom Yorke’s improvised dancing.
The King of Limbs was recorded and produced during a period when Radiohead were exploring rhythm and sampling as central compositional tools. That approach gives songs such as “Bloom,” “Feral,” and “Separator” a layered, looping feel. A common mistake is choosing In Rainbows, which was released in 2007, or Hail to the Thief, released in 2003. Amnesiac is older still, arriving in 2001 as a companion-era record to Kid A.
