Listening to Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief, an album I’ve long mentally filed as underrated, to discover that it is in fact accurately rated.

Some fantastic (political) bangers on HTTT. If you have a chance, worth seeing Hamlet Hail to the Thief currently on at the RSC, does a good job recontextualizing and reframing the album and themes.

These tracks are as good as any Radiohead. Complied this best of ready for seeing the Hamlet performance in Stratford next week.

I can be the only one reminded of this can I?

Which is not even anything to do with the terrible title, or the almost as terrible fact that each song has two names.

Drunken Punch Up, though?

Yeah that’s one of the four I’d save, along with 2+2=5, There There and A Wolf at the Door.

Possibly a little harsh, but I take your point.

It’s surely the Radiohead album I’m least likely to listen to all the way through, after The King of Limbs.

I love the first half but usually stop a few tracks from the end.

They lost me after Kid A where they disappeared up their own fundament, never to return.

Most of my favourite Radiohead songs are from Kid A or later, but I don’t think they’ve produced a consistently brilliant album since then (though actually In Rainbows probably is).
