Radiohead: Every Album Ranked Worst To Best

9. The King Of Limbs

Although Radiohead have no outright terrible album to their name, The King of Limbs is a far cry from the excellence you'd expect from a band of their calibre.

Composed with uncharacteristically dull production and a plodding, inconsistent song structure, the record feels decidedly lazy compared to the band's other work, despite the fact that there are splashes of potential on tracks like the progressive Morning Mr. Magpie and the seemingly incomplete Codex.

What lets it down most of all, though, is the lack of development. None of the songs are given any time to breathe or come into their own, leaving the record feeling oddly unfinished and impersonal. And if there's one thing Radiohead are not, it's impersonal.

All in all, The King of Limbs could have done with some more time to progress and some added heaps of the band's typically inspired creative energy. It's not bad by any stretch, but as far as Radiohead albums go, it's a rather forgettable affair.
