Grade: C+
Radiohead’s new album wants to be good. It really does. Fans have waited three years for a new album, and a few songs, like “Codex” and “Give up the Ghost,” are good songs. But the album as a whole seems lost. After the upbeat and rocking style of the band’s previous effort, “In Rainbows,” “The King of Limbs” seems like a step backward for Radiohead. The only people that will end up liking this album are pre-existing Radiohead fans. New fans are better off listening to earlier albums.
