Thursday, May 01, 2003 Hail to the Thief... Mmm... Forbidden fruit. My assistant came into work today with a freshly burned disk of the new, unreleased, Radiohead album: "Hail to the Thief." Its official release date is June 9th, but this early leakage always seems to happen to Radiohead. I was actually enjoying the anticipation of the album and I looked forward to the month of waiting, wanting, and wondering what they boys from Oxford would bestow upon their legion of fans. Would it be the long promised but never delivered "guitar album?" Or would they wander further down the path of experimental anti-pop they forged during the Kid-A sessions? Well, I caved and am about half way through the track-list. So far, it treads ground halfway between OK Computer and Amnesiac. As with any Radiohead album it is impossible to get any-sort of useful impression from one listening, especially when at work and frequently distracted. But perhaps after this one spin I will hold off on a second listen until June 9th, thus still being able to enjoy the anticipation of the new disk. But something tells me that I won't have the self-control to NOT listen to it. One thing I know is I WILL NOT miss them when they play the bay-area (or LA) this time! Damn-it! I already missed the White Stripes at the War-filed earlier this week! posted by JMV | 5/01/2003 11:02:00 AM | |
