Radiohead in Spin’s Top 10 of 2003
Radiohead’s ‘Hail To The Thief’ was rated at number 10 for the top 40 best albums of the year in Spin magazine. Here’s what they said about it…
“Radiohead records aren’t truly avant-garde; however, they’re as close to experimental as albums by major rock bands get. Radiohead recerods aren’t really commercial, either; however they’re as accessible as deconstructed, unconventional pop music can possibly be. Basically, Hail to the Thief is the kind of album that forces you to say “however” a lot; but not overtly so; it’s clever, but it’s not funny; it’s not unfathomable, but it’s also not for people who don’t like to think about the music they buy.” [thanks David]
Same goes for Jam! Music: “”Hail” emcompasses styles from Radiohead’s previous albums, but manages to have its own unique appeal. “Go To Sleep” and “There There” will go down as some of the best material they have ever recorded. “ [thanks Cristina]
The Philidelphia Inquirer’s year in review mentioned the album as well: “It’s another installment in the serial psychodrama Thom Yorke and His Invisible Demons. It’s another not-so-heroic struggle involving rock’s paranoid android and the wolves at his door, another song cycle devoted to the gap between “Where I End and You Begin” sung in the key of ambivalence. It’s also the most unabashedly tuneful Radiohead effort in years, a thrill ride that lurches through moments of quiet reflection and gnawing frustration, and then, when you least expect it, slams you head-first into some giant-sized emotional torment.”
