I finally got a chance to properly listen to King Animal and it is such a good album! The thing is I had downloaded it long back but I think the files were of inferior quality and when I burned it to CD to listen in the car, it didn't play properly. Anyway, long story short I've been listening to it over the last couple of days after re-downloading it recently. It is such a satisfying listen! Definitely a grower. After the first couple of listens, I was somewhat underwhelmed by tracks like opener Been Away Too Long and Non State Actor. But they have certainly grown on me now! I cannot get enough of... Non State Actor, Bones of Birds, Halfway There, By Crooked Steps, Taree, Blood On The Valley Floor, A Thousand Days Before, Rowing... pretty much the whole freaking album! The only song I still don't care much for is Attrition. Overall, excellent comeback!
