The merit of hard listening

After several months of contending, me and Radiohead's album 'The King of Limbs' have come to an agreement.

Hours of listening have slowly grown my love for a a piece of music I dismissed at first as overly percussive; As only a great work can do, this album has challenged me to accept it, rather than welcome me with wide open arms.

I'm glad to hear the band return to their experimental mode. We all knew they could do great rock, but if there's anything Radiohead should be valued for it's their desire to evolve, experiment and create wonderful new soundscapes that capture your breath, heart and head.
