Back in time

Capricious superstars RADIOHEAD had their 6th LP, named
HAIL TO THE THIEF out 20 years ago, on 9 June 2003.
The album’s lyrics were influenced by what Yorke called “the general
sense of ignorance and intolerance and panic and stupidity” following the
2000 election of US president George W. Bush.”
Pitchfork: “Radiohead have largely succeeded in their efforts to shape pop
music into as boundless and possible a medium as it should be” Score: 9/10.
TUTV: Hail To The Thief isn’t really one of my fav Radiohead albums. But guess what?
As I write these words I’m listening to it, and damn, it sounds much better than I can remember. I guess I gave up on it too soon back then.
Press play.
