While nothing on this record is offensively bad, nothing really sticks out all that well and grabs your attention. I think the problem with The King of Limbs is just a simple lack of direction of where to go after In Rainbows. So they took a drastic turn, a la albums like OK Computer and Kid A, but the style they went for left a lot to be desired.

Hunting Bears overall is just absolutely awful, and Morning Bell feels like a knockoff rehash of an excellent track off a way better album. The closer, Life In A Glasshouse, is a fantastic song and an excellent way to end things. It feels like making a follow-up to Kid A had so much ... read more
