i love the album. but i have really bad taste in music. but i think the album is pretty damned strong. backdrifts and where i end and you begin are two of my favorites. this one is gonna be a classic. like hotel california by the eagles. when you get old and are sitting round the pub, this song will be on. you will be swaying drunkinly back and forth. with your tattoos and baggy clothes. your kids will be as embarrassed as i am for those balding middle aged men with ponytails that don't really seem to care that they are not don henly and cannot sing. god, it is sad. what was i saying?? oh yeah. caffeine is evil.
i LOVE hail to the theif! i think they keeps there original sound (which some bands fail to do) yet separates itself from their othe albums. i think 2+2=5 followed by sit down stand up is fuckin amazing.
I think Hail To The Theif is a great album. I was not impressed too much by Amnesiac and was worried how similar they might be. Anyhow, I wasn't disappointed.
How in the HELL can you say The Bends is boring? Pablo Honey and The Bends are both amazing. The sound is similar and you can hear a diffrence in OK Computer to where they were heading musically. I love OK Computer, too, but sometimes I wish they would return to the sound of their first two albums. But that's just me.
