Hail to the Thief, Radiohead's 2003 album, comes to CD as a sprawling, anxious and surprisingly hands-on set that saw the band plug their guitars back in after the electronic detours of the previous few years.
Recorded quickly in Los Angeles with longtime producer Nigel Godrich, the album aimed to capture the band's live energy rather than chase studio perfection. It was also their last album for EMI, and it carries the tension of its moment, full of political dread, nursery-rhyme menace and paranoid wit. At fourteen songs it is their longest album, and the variety is part of the appeal.
2 + 2 = 5 opens in a nervous crouch before exploding into furious guitars, Thom Yorke spitting about wilful ignorance. There There became the big single, a tribal, tom-heavy build that releases into one of Jonny Greenwood's most thrilling riffs. Sail to the Moon is a tender piano lullaby written with Yorke's young son in mind, and A Wolf at the Door closes the album with a manic, half-rapped tirade that feels genuinely unhinged.
Long underrated next to its neighbours, it has grown into a fan favourite with good reason.
It is restless, cluttered and brilliantly human, Radiohead at their most unguarded and direct.
