I think Gunjou Biyori is a good song, but it's not as interesting to me as mostly every other Tokyo Jihen song. It's on the same level as Ringo no Uta and, well that's about the only other one I feel that way about (exclusing b-sides). They're not bad songs, and they're still better than mostly everything else out there because of the vocals, but they don't excite me like Shiina Ringo's other work.

Actually, some of the stuff on The Bends does tend to bore me..
While Thom Yorke's voice always adds points to anything he performs, a lot of the songs on the album sound too much like something another band could have written (aside from Street Spirit and a few other gems). And that's not saying I don't like the album, because I really do. I'm just much more interested in Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief.
