Advantages: Very Enjoyable, Better Than In Rainbows

Disadvantages: You Can Like Radiohead Too Much?

Hail to the Thief has never received any of the high acclaim which is lavished upon the other three big Radiohead albums, although if you ask me it's just as good, and is a logical progression into a slightly louder direction whilst retaining the vintage Radiohead bizarreness and progression.

The opening 2+2=5 gets the album underway with the most aggressive track on the record - and as well as being considered the lead track many fans cite it as their favourite from the album.

For me We Suck Your Blood is worthy of a mention too for its excellent structure and true bizarreness. It starts out as a piano ballad which builds up to a huge crescendo towards the end and is matched by the electronically distorted The Gloaming.

What ever way you look at it - this is another excellent Radiohead outing and one hopes it isn't to be their last!
