Album of the day (#899): Hail To The Thief by Radiohead

[CaptainFicus]

[quote="MrFrogger"]I love this album, although It can feel a bit disjointed at times. They could've taken some of the weaker tracks out, and just done a bonus disc, like In Rainbows, and that might have eliviated some peoples problems with this record.[quote]
I agree. This is my personal radiohead album order:
1.Kid A = In Rainbows
2. Ok Computer
3.Amnesiac (severely underrated)
4.The Bends
5.Hail to the thief
6.King of limbs
7.Pablo Honey

Personally, my second favourite Radiohead album (although it used to be my ACTUAL favourite before I came around to "OK Computer"). While I think you could argue that it's disjointed, I don't really mind when the SONGS are as good as they are: it's like their earlier alternative rock and their later experimental electronica were thrown into a blender together and this is what came out. Indeed, as a merging of old and new it works better for me than "In Rainbows" does and for me there are no weak tracks. Personal favourites are "2+2=5", "We Suck Young Blood" and "A Wolf At The Door", although I LOVE pretty much everything else, too. A STUNNING record that I think a lot of people underrate because it admittedly doesn't do much new, but it definitely does REFINE what Radiohead had done before this and even if there's no 'overall' vibe, as Radiohead's "messy double album" it DEFINITELY works.
