    There's just incredible depth to The King Of Limbs, and if you're impatient, you'll miss it.

    It's been a long time since Radiohead made records with an eye toward anything more than satisfying the band's own creative impulses, if it ever did. Those who are prepared to stick it out, though, may well find The King of Limbs worth the wait.

    They've delivered their biggest surprise to date. A record that falls short for its constituent parts. [May 2011, p.100]
