(We're on. Thats a nice way to start Jonny)

"Hail To The Thief" is often seen by fans and even by the band as a step in the wrong direction, a mistake, but me personally, as a huge Radiohead fan, believe this album is the 2nd best they have ever produced. It may be a jumble of tracks, but they are all solid tracks. They combine the edgyness and rawness of the early Radiohead ("The Bends" Era) and still takes the interesting electronic sounds found in later albums such as "Kid A" and "Amnesiac".

The album sounds like Radiohead wanted to pick up their guitars again, but weren't going to forget what they had learnt along the way. Album highlights for me include "2+2=5", "A Wolf At The Door", "Myxomatosis", "Scatterbrain" and "Sail To The Moon".

This album would also be good for getting people into Radiohead as I found it to be one of their more accessable albums.

Summary: Another essential Radiohead album.
