The absence that supposedly makes the heart grow fonder? There was none of that. By Valentine's Day (irony alert!), listening to The King of Limbs every day had become a daily chore, a 38-minute workout I had to squeeze in between meals. I listened to it at work, in my car, on my stereo, through different sets of headphones. After 15 years of fandom, my relationship with Radiohead has become kind of like a marriage.Д®ach day, the play count for The King of Limbs ticked up on my iPod. 'You don't get that rush or that high, but I believe you get other chemicals and a deepened state of awareness.' 'You still get extra oxytocin and seratonin and endorphins, even if you've been in a long-term relationship,' she said. Rhode likens it to a long-term relationship - you trade the uncertain thrills of the dating pool for the deeper pleasures of monogamy. But loyalty to a single artist can have its benefits, too. Coldplay's Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall may be prodding a part of my hippocampus that Radiohead hasn't touched in years. 'They want to keep replicating that rushy feeling.' It's an addictive high that leads 'serial monogamists' to chase new partners. 'We now know that the same parts of the brain that light up over drugs or overeating or alcohol light up in new relationships,' said Rhode. The brain is wired to respond favorably to new discoveries, Rhode said. At age 32, have I crossed that point in my life where commercially friendly radio rock is now more pleasing to me than abstract noise art? Was this inevitable? I've never felt this way about Coldplay before. It was, hands down, the best concert I've ever seen. In September, I drove to Atlanta to see the band live. Unlike The King of Limbs, I loved Mylo Xyloto right from the start, and have listened to it dozens of times. Last fall, Coldplay - another British rock band that has been compared frequently and rather unfavorably to Radiohead - released an album called Mylo Xyloto. The album still wasn't talking to me, but I did see a couple of baby gators. It's why we read in libraries and watch movies in theaters. There are benefits to removing all distractions from an art-consumption experience. I took a lap beneath the swinging Spanish moss, watching turtles and gators and breathing the early spring air. Petersburg, a setting I thought matched the album's loose naturalistic themes. So I took The King of Limbs to Sawgrass Lake Park in St. And the more pleasure you'll bring to it.' The more senses you can match to a new habit, the better, neurologically, it'll stick. I think it would be matching it with something pleasurable. 'I don't think it's just immersing yourself. 'I think you're missing a component here,' said Barbara Rhode, a Pinellas County therapist who specializes in relationship issues. I was still nowhere near ready to call The King of Limbs 'brilliant.' Clearly, I just hadn't given it enough spins. And it wasn't until probably three or four more listens that I realized, Wow, this s-'s brilliant.' 'And my first reaction was kind of a negative one. 'I remember being in high school when Kid A came out,' said Jesse Tabish, singer for the band Other Lives, Radiohead's opening act. Often we have come back more enamored than ever. Like a lot of artists, the group has tried to reinvent itself with each project. If A Work Of Art is meant to resonate - a book, a film, a song - you should feel it right away.

Me and my favorite band, facing each other on a couch in my mind, working through our rough patch together. What was it about this album that I wasn't getting? Was it me?Д¬all it music therapy. 1, I listened to The King of Limbs in its entirety every day. But is it possible to make yourself care about art that simply doesn't speak to you? It's the first Radiohead album that meant nothing to me. I listened to it a couple of times, and then I mostly forgot about it. 'This record' is The King of Limbs, Radiohead's eighth studio album.
