Hail to the Thief is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in June 2003 through Parlophone Records. After two Radiohead albums that featured heavily processed vocals, less guitar, and strong influence from experimental electronica and jazz,[2] Hail to the Thief was seen as a slight return to the band's older alternative rock influences, drawing its sound from every era of the band's existence.[3][4] Recorded relatively quickly in Los Angeles, the album was described by band members as an attempt to find a more "swaggering" sound and a relaxed recording process, in contrast to their tense sessions for Kid A and Amnesiac several years earlier.

At nearly an hour in length, Hail to the Thief is the band's longest album, despite the band trying to "relearn the art of putting out shorter songs."[5] Yorke said his songwriting on the album had been much affected by current events, but he denied having a strictly political intent. It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom and at number three in the United States, where it sold a greater number of copies in its first week than any other Radiohead album to date. Hail to the Thief was well received by critics, but band members have, in later years, expressed regrets about the album. It spawned three charting singles: "There There" (a #1 hit in Canada, and #4 in the UK), "Go to Sleep" and "2 + 2 = 5".

[edit] Production and release

[edit] Album history

Hail to the Thief was recorded in late 2002 and early 2003.[6] The band debuted several new songs during their Amnesiac tour, of which some made it to the final copy of Hail to the Thief.[7] The song "I Will" dates back to the 1990s while the band originally worked on "A Wolf at the Door" during sessions for Kid A, according to an Internet studio diary kept by Ed O'Brien.[8] Some of the lyrics of "Myxomatosis" were taken from the chorus of the Amnesiac B-side "Cuttooth".[6][9]

Most of the tracks were recorded in two weeks in a Los Angeles studio, the shortest studio sessions for Radiohead since Pablo Honey.[10] They then went to Oxford for additional recording sessions.[11] The album's quick recording helped protect against the tension of previous recording sessions. In an interview with Yahoo!, O'Brien said, "This is the first album where, at the end of making it, we haven't wanted to kill each other."[5] An unmixed version of the album was leaked onto the Internet several months before it was officially released. At first, Jonny Greenwood said "I feel bemused, though, not annoyed",[12] but upon learning that the leak was full of unmixed edits, he stated that "[Radiohead is] annoyed" and pissed off about it". Greenwood also said that he was more annoyed about the situation than the people who downloaded the leak, and described the leaked tracks as "stolen work".[13]

[edit] Album title and alternative titles

The title of the album is considered by some to be a reference to an anti-Bush chant (itself a play on "Hail to the Chief", a march played to announce the arrival of the President of the United States) that was used by activists during the controversy surrounding the 2000 US presidential election.[3] The band has emphasised the wider political context of the slogan, citing its use regarding the 1888 election. In an interview with Spin Magazine, Thom Yorke stated "If the motivation for naming our album had been based solely on the [recent] U.S. election, I'd find that to be pretty shallow."[14]

Each song on Hail to the Thief has an official alternative title or subtitle, which is listed in smaller print on the back of the album artwork and the CD case.[15] The band has not given any explanation for having the alternative titles.[16] The entire album has the alternative title The Gloaming, also the name of one of the songs. Yorke said he was considering calling the album itself The Gloaming, but was overruled by other band members for being too "prog rock",[17] and because "the music itself was too joyful".[18] The album title, the titles of songs on it, and the alternative titles are all listed with full stops after them (for example, Hail to the Thief., "There There." and "Sit Down. Stand Up."). Within the lyrics booklet, each song's alternative title or subtitle is the one that appears in the heading above its lyrics, instead of the main title.[19]

[edit] Artwork and special editions

The album artwork is in the style of a road map, with words and phrases in place of buildings.[20] The "road map" is Radiohead's version of former president George W. Bush's "road map for peace" in the Middle East.[21] Thom Yorke said of the words on the album cover: "Whenever I heard words that rang bells in my head, I'd write them down, until I had this really long list, which is basically much of the artwork."[20] The artwork and packaging was designed by Stanley Donwood.[6] Donwood cited the landscape of Los Angeles, where most of the album was recorded, as the primary inspiration on the album cover which is, in fact, a painting called "Pacific Coast".[22][23] Donwood said other "maps" in the art refer to the street plans of cities such as London, Grozny, and Baghdad.[24] Some of the early copies of the album contained a real fold out road map of the album cover.[20] In 2009, Capitol Records reissued the album with two additional discs. The first extra disc contains the B-sides of the Hail to the Thief singles and some songs from the extended play COM LAG (2plus2isfive). The third disc of the reissue contained various video content.[25][26]

[edit] Musical style
"2 + 2 = 5"
The opening track "2+2=5" uses an unusual interval between harmonies.[27]

Hail to the Thief featured more conventional use of guitar than the band's previous two albums, and also more piano, but also continued to make use of electronic beats and samples.[28][29] Band members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, in addition to guitar and vocals, are both credited with playing "laptop" on the album, and software developers Cycling '74 are thanked in the credits, a trend continued on the band's next album, In Rainbows.[6][30] In addition, Greenwood continued to employ the ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument he first used on Kid A and Amnesiac.[31]

In an interview with Xfm London, Yorke described the album as "very acoustic", and that it contained significantly less overdubs than its two predecessors.[11] They explained that the electronics heard in songs such as "Sit Down. Stand Up." were not added later, but mostly performed in the same room at the same time as the piano, guitar and vocal parts. "On tour in 2001 in America, I think we learned to swagger as a band," Ed O'Brien said in an interview with Yahoo!. "We wanted to capture that on record. We also didn't want to spend too long in the studio."[5] Yorke said, "The last two studio records [Kid A and Amnesiac] were a real headache. We had spent so much time looking at computers and grids, we were like, 'That's enough. We can't do that anymore.' This time, we used computers, but they had to actually be in the room with all the gear."[10]

Highlighting Radiohead's continuing assimilation of different musical styles, the album liner notes contain thanks from Jonny Greenwood to Jeanne Loriod, a celebrated player of the ondes Martenot who died before the album came out.[6][32] Greenwood, inspired by the music of French composer Olivier Messiaen (husband of Jeanne Loriod's sister, Yvonne), picked up the ondes during the Kid A period, and played it on Hail songs such as "Where I End and You Begin".[33] Ed O'Brien mentioned The Rolling Stones as an influence on Radiohead's attempts at greater spontaneity, while The Beatles are cited in the songs "A Wolf at the Door" and "I Will".[34] Neil Young was one of Yorke's largest influences during the period, according to interviews, while Yorke said the Krautrock band Can had directly inspired "There There", and Jonny Greenwood mentioned the influence of Siouxsie and the Banshees on its guitar sound.[35]

The title of the song "2 + 2 = 5" is a reference to George Orwell's 1984, and its subtitle "The Lukewarm" is influenced by Dante.[36][37] Yorke described his songwriting process on Hail to the Thief as only unintentionally political, saying that he did not seek to make a statement but could not help being influenced by current events. Yorke said he had been listening to the radio frequently in late 2001, after the 11 September attacks, the War on Terrorism and the war in Afghanistan, and noting down common phrases he heard, which went into his lyrics: "I was cutting these things out, and deliberately taking them out of context, so they're like wallpaper. Then, when I needed words for songs I'd be taking them out of this wallpaper, and they were out of any political context at all."[38] The song "Sail to the Moon" was written for his son Noah; the song contains the lyrics, "maybe you'll be president, but know right from wrong / or in the flood you'll build an ark / and sail us to the moon."[39] Yorke said having children made him more concerned on the condition of the world, and how it could affect the lives of future generations.[14]

Despite the album's early internet leak, Hail to the Thief sold more copies in its first week than its predecessors, Kid A and Amnesiac.[47] The album entered at number three in the Billboard 200 selling 300,000 copies in its first week.[48][49] In the UK, the album peaked at number one and stayed on the chart for fourteen weeks.[50] The album has sold more than a million copies worldwide.[51]

Hail to the Thief received wide acclaim from professional critics upon release, based on a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregate site Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".[28] Neil McCormick, writing in The Daily Telegraph, called it "Radiohead firing on all cylinders, a major work by major artists at the height of their powers".[52] Allmusic, in a positive review, opined that "Radiohead have entered a second decade of record-making with a surplus of momentum."[40] Chris Ott of Pitchfork Media wrote that Radiohead succeeded "in their efforts to shape pop music into as boundless and possible a medium as it should be."[39] It was the fifth straight Radiohead release to be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.[53] In 2004, coproducer Nigel Godrich and engineer Darrell Thorp won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Album for their work on Hail to the Thief.[54]

Unswayed, the NME's James Oldham saw it as "a good rather than great record" and wrote that "the impact of the best moments [on Hail to the Thief] is dulled by the inclusion of some indifferent electronic compositions."[43] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian opined that "you could never describe Hail to the Thief as a bad record", but that it was "neither startlingly different and fresh nor packed with the sort of anthemic songs that once made them the world's biggest band."[55] In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked Hail to the Thief as the 89th best album of the decade 2000-2009, writing "the dazzling overabundance of ideas makes Hail to the Thief a triumph".[56]

Members of Radiohead have admitted regrets about the album in retrospect. In a 2006 interview with Spin, Thom Yorke said, "Of all the records we did, I'd maybe change the playlist. I think we had a meltdown when we put it together. 'There There' is amazing, and '2 + 2 = 5' is good, but as Nigel says, I wish I had another go at [Hail to the Thief]. We wanted to do things quickly, and I think the songs suffered. It was part of the experiment. Every record is part of the experiment."[57] In 2008, Ed O'Brien told Mojo, "We should have pruned it down to 10 songs, then it would have been a really good record. I think we lost people on a couple of tracks and it broke the spell of the record." In the same interview, Colin Greenwood said, "I didn't want three or four songs on there, because I thought some of the ideas we were trying out weren't completely finished [...] For me, Hail to the Thief was more of a holding process, really."[58]
