Hail to the Thief

Yeah.

Yeah, so another Hail to the Thief track.

I, it's just fantastic.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

And that was such an...

Uh, there's a couple m- I've only got one more on Hail to the Thief on my list, but it is such a good album.

Third, surprised this isn't on yours.

The Graham Stewart sessions that I said in 2002 for Kid A is incorrect.

That's actually, they were doing rehearsals for Hail to the Thief that would then become the album recording.

So this was recorded then, just to clear that up.

Good.

I thought it was Colorado you

know what it's one of those four corner states yeah definitely just that is so my vibe and what I want to see there is Radiohead performing Hail to the Thief in its entirety with as much liberal expansion as they want but Hail to the Thief at Red Rocks hell yeah Yeah, Red Rocks is Colorado, bro.

Okay, cool.

Love that.

Never would have thought, honestly.

Of the four corners, that was the one I thought of the least.

Hail to the thief.

If you don't, he's going to kill you.

He took it as an opportunity to make his first musical work apart from them.

He said that Radiohead were forced to take a break after being worn out by the Hail to the Thief tour, which they did.

They said basically the wrong way round, going round the world east to west, which basically meant they, as he said, I don't think anybody really slept for like three, four weeks.

So that level of sleep deprivation and doing these big shows under a lot of pressure, it was just messed up.

Where are we on Maladroit?

I think Hail to the Thief is next year.

That's just what I'm, something I'm thinking about.

Yeah, it's a different band.

2004.

I know, but I know what year it is.

Oh, then Maladroit more than came out, and Hail to the Thief is already out.

Right.

Yeah.

So the guitar and drums in the intro and verses are incredibly like Hail to the Thief era Radiohead.

Oh,

right, right, right.

It's so good.

Coming up on Verse Chorus Verse, Pablo Honey, Hail to the Thief, and then three more albums in the discography.

And guess what? We're covering them all tonight.

We've done five scores at a nine or above so far.

You know, we, we do our 10 out of 10s.

Uh, we already covered OK Computer.

Uh, I'm going to find other ways to cover hail to the thief, to cover the bends, to cover in rainbows, to cover...

Just don't worry.

David Bowie's album Diamond Dogs was originally conceived as a theatrical adaptation of 1984.

Radiohead's entire aesthetic, especially albums like Hail to the Thief, drips with Orwellian dread about groupthink and media manipulation.

Yes, the aesthetic legacy is huge.

You look at films like V for Vendetta or Equilibrium, and they are just playing in the sandbox that Orwell built.
