Hail To the Thief

“That’s a nice way to start, Jonny,” mutters Thom Yorke, backed by the introductory blast of feedback on “2 + 2 = 5”. It’s a fitting opening for *Hail to the Thief*, a sixth record that sees Radiohead relinquish some of their trademark fastidiousness for something more rough-hewn, spontaneous, and freeform. It’s an approach that, in keeping with the atmosphere of political turmoil, yields skittering, richly complex songs that perhaps peak with the heady, bitter march of “There, There”.

Radiohead's 'Hail to the Thief' sits comfortably between the computer-generated 'Kid A' and the prog-rock splendor of 'OK Computer.'
