2011 was a busy year for Radiohead. A new album, a "record store day" single, the Radiohead newspaper, another From The Basement, multiple tv appearances, and a boatload of remixes. As for The King of Limbs, reviews have been mixed at best. Some will agree it's another great Radiohead record, while others wrote it off as mediocre and derivative of their earlier forays into teh beatz. Regardless of how you felt about The King of Limbs, I think both parties will be able to agree that these two tracks represented here are of the highest quality and are certainly among the best Radiohead tracks released in quite some time, Staircase in particular. If you've seen TKOL: FTB, you'll know what to expect. In fact, these recordings are the same takes as the ones used in those From The Basement sessions. While I do think Staircase could've used an extra dash of studio magic, both tracks have been heavily re-touched and re-mixed to acheive near perfect audio fidelity. If I'm hearing correctly, Thom's voice has definitely been re-recorded in rough areas as well, giving these songs a nice ready-for-primetime polish. As for the songs themselves, Daily Mail is a haunting piano driven number that harkens back to the days of You And Whose Army? which crescendos into a hot mess of guitars and horns. Staircase is a beautifully life-affriming dance song (!) that ends with what is simply the greatest Radiohead ending in existence. Seriously, it's that great. Download these, listen to them. Cherish them. This is music for the soul that goes beyond what any review could try and explain.

The Daily Mail is an amazing song, Staircase isn't great but it's not bad. A must have for any Radiohead fan.

LOVE
Kind of makes you wonder what would have happened if Radiohead wasn't so stuck on the whole 40 minute album thing, what TKOL would have sounded like. Read more

Symphonic electronic and Monsters of Grace!
I was blown away by the performance at Austin City Limits! Staircase, Daily Mail and Identikit were new to me, I hope they signal a new direction for the band, and a new album?! Read more

Nice Stop Gap Release
The Daily Mail is fantastic and better than most of King of Limbs (other than Lotus Flower and Codex) but it really would not have fit. Read more

Why wasn't this put on King of Limbs?
I wish these songs were put on the King of Limbs. They're my favorite. I really enjoy hearing these performed live.

much better
These two songs are better than the eight songs on the king of limbs album to me. If these were recorded after the king of limbs songs then maybe this a hint of better music to... Read more

You should buy this just for the daily mail. Staircase is a good listen. Keep in mind these were recorded as part of the from the basement king of limbs sessions.

it's alright.
These two songs could've been b-sides from Amnesiac or Hail to the Thief. I don't much care for either of them as they sound like toss offs. I'm glad they weren't on TKOL. Read more
