King Of Limbs, Radiohead's 8th Album

King Of Limbs by Radiohead, is touted to be the World's First Newspaper Album. Sound strange? Maybe. But that's also how these guys' sound, too, right? (Curiously, it is because it offers art sheet of newspaper arts with the album).

Here is what they wrote in the King Of Limbs website:
