Dodo's Album Reviews

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing The King Of Limbs. This album is often considered one of the two worst Radiohead albums, alongside Pablo Honey .

Then the Everything In It's Right Place vocals come in, with the weird pitch shifted effects. Slowly we spiral into another chaotic crescendo, similiar to the opener.
