The new Radiohead album was both announced and released this week. You can buy it here.

If you want to hear it before you purchase, there is a stream here.

I have finished listening to it, and I really like this album right now. I will definitely need to listen to it many, many times to get everything out of it, and to form a more solid opinion.

As far as I can tell, this might be one of Radiohead's most divisive albums as far as their fans are concerned. I have heard people praise it as the best ever, and others say it is their worst.

On a side note, I am on my second listen and switched to my giant nice headphones, and I can say that this album benefits immensely from being played through nice speakers/headphones. I feel like my laptop speakers hid half of the music from me.

I only listened to the album once on youtube. I have to say this is a very different direction than what they have originally been. I don't think this could exactly be called the best or worst album simply because the direction of the music is very different. I'm liking the jazz influences though. The music is pretty chill. hope they follow up with a part two!

There's an interesting theory about the album:

---

There WILL be a part two because they are packaging the album later with two vinyls instead of just one.

In the song separator, there is a line, "If you think this is over, then you're wrong." And then perhaps the name separator means that it separates the two halfs of the album.

---

That's the theory, and I wouldn't put it past Radiohead if that's what they're actually doing.

I've heard that theory, and I hope so much that it's true. XD I loved The King of Limbs, but the one thing I wish was that it was longer. XD So yeah, I definitely wouldn't put it past Radiohead to do something like that and release a second half later this year. XD

Well, there wasn't a part two, but there were two more songs. You can listen to them:
