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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 + 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong underrated next to its neighbours, it has grown into a fan favourite with good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is restless, cluttered and brilliantly human, Radiohead at their most unguarded and direct.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439081791793,"sku":"634904078522","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_acb50433-76a9-4a41-a599-76c5657b5f56.jpg?v=1794151994","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/radiohead-hail-to-the-thief-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
