The Daily Vault Album Reviews
Many die-hardBendsandOK Computerfans have been patiently waiting for Radiohead to get their fascination with computer blips and loops out of their system. In the early '90s, U2 (whom many have said Radiohead replaced for 'best band in the ...more
Stylus Magazine
Hail To The Thiefthrows Radiohead’s last two albums into violent perspective; they weren’t, as some have suggested, pissing around for the sake of it. They weren’t leaving behind their previous career; they weren’t heading ...more
Pitchfork
For its moments of gravity and excellence, Hail to the Thief is an arrow pointing toward the clearly darker, more frenetic territory the band have up to now only poked at curiously. ...more

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Radiohead effectively split the difference between its best-known incarnations on Hail To The Thief, which brings the group's Consecutive Great Albums total to a remarkable five. ...more
Yahoo! Music
It starts with what is still surely one of the most thrilling sounds known to modern man - a guitar being plugged into an amp. It's tempting to interpret that distinctive, buzzy pop as a statement of intent; enough of the radical ...more

When I first heard 'There There', the preview single, I was very underwhelmed. Repeated listening made me love it though. I adore it now. I've kind of been on an intensive listening trip to this album since ( at the time of writing ) it was released ...more
