Moving slightly away from the heavy electronic influenced last two albums and back towards more intense numbers (a la 'OK Computer'). Radiohead’s ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ album, Hail to the Thief saw the obstinate Oxonians leaving behind a fair bit of the bleakness of the Kid A and Amnesiac period in favour of a lighter, rockier style.

I have been collecting these 2 CD DVDs from Pablo Honey up to Hail to the Thief and yet more beautiful music from Yorke and the gang has been produced, my only dissapointment was in the DVD which was a little lacking in body, especially when you compare it with The Bends, the bonus material almost double the content of the main disc, with tons live vids and alternate takes on the DVD, yet hail to the thief only had about 15 mins of content. At nearly an hour in length, the album is the band's longest, with many of it's songs within the two-to-three-minute range, shorter than the band's average. Scatterbrain is another blend of drum machine and sublime guitar riffs, reminding me a little of Morrissey's I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday, but with an eye on a vanishing future, rather than a vanished past.
