Vinyl Therapy: Radiohead "King Of Limbs" (2011)

Extremely adept at reaching all levels of their fan spectrum (from the casual fan to the rabid completist)  Radiohead have once again presented their newest album in several formats.  They've offered everything from quick and easy digital downloads of "King Of Limbs" to traditional CD packaging to this... The super-deluxe "Newspaper Edition" of the album.  Radiohead have (once again) seen fit to present several versions of a release so that each listener can choose the level at which they wish to engage with the recorded material.  They've taken the best parts of the 1970s and '80s "deluxe double album" model with a nod to the digital immediacy and versatility that a music fan in 2011 demands.

Vinyl Therapy: Young The Giant (2011)

This is perhaps my favorite record sleeve of 2011.  It also happens to be on an album I enjoy... What luck!

Vinyl Therapy: My Morning Jacket "Circuital" (2011)

In heavy rotation at home and in my car... 

A stellar album from a band that does consistent work.

It's great to know that there are some bands out there who get the fact that 

(for fans like me) the package is a STILL a part of the overall experience of an album.  

The layout for the vinyl edition of My Morning Jacket's latest LP makes it feel like an instant classic.
