The music on
The King of Limbs isn't any more advanced or difficult than what the band has been doing since 2000; it's just less dramatic and melodically rich, IMO. An eight-song album is too short to afford two or three cuts that are essentially glorified rhythm tracks. Of course, Radiohead astutely compensates for the diminution in quality with a reduction in quantity, so we have that consolation.
