It’s clear that The King of Limbs requires more patience and concentration than listeners who’ve been eagerly waiting more than three years for new Radiohead material can likely muster in the here and now.

A.V. CLUB

While The King Of Limbs always sounds great, the actual songs prove elusive—perhaps too elusive at times.

MUSICOMH

King Of Limbs is a subtle, muti-layered affair - surprisingly low-key in places, and it certainly won't win back any fans who checked out in the late '90s.

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

It’s essentially a 37 minute jam session; one where they’re carving out their current sensibilities and seeing where they run.

79
PITCHFORK

This is well-worn terrain for Radiohead, and while it continues to yield rewarding results, the band's signature game-changing ambition is missed.
