5. Radiohead - “the King of Limbs“
I called Adam Ball after hearing this record, and talked about how it was one of the most unlistenable records I had heard. It’s obvious that you have to spend time with a Radiohead record, but after several listens I kept wondering what the hell they were doing here.
