Hail to the Thief, or "The Gloaming" as it is subtitled, is the sixth studio album by British rock band Radiohead, released on June 9 2003 in the United Kingdom and June 10 in the United States and Canada. After two albums that mined a distinctive groove, with heavily processed vocals and few guitars, Hail to the Thief draws its ideas from every era of the band's existence, coupled with a new-found confidence and live energy — the bulk of the record was recorded in two weeks in Los Angeles. The album was released on Parlophone and produced by Nigel Godrich (who has worked with Radiohead on four previous releases).

Overview

---

Radiohead's previous two albums, Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) suffered from notably differing reactions, both from fans and the music press. Some hailed the albums as masterpieces, especially Kid A. Others thought the electronic beats and experimenting were pretentious, and longed for the guitar-filled style of OK Computer or The Bends. In perhaps an effort to please both camps, Hail to the Thief features much more guitar than the last two albums, but keeps the electronic beats. The best example of this can be found in the album's first single, "There There," and in its opener, "2 + 2 = 5". The album is their longest so far, clocking in at almost an hour.
