ajatuslapsi Hail to more pleasant surprises! 2025 keeps on giving (some good tunes, at least).

T_eaLeaves I had to buy it. As a huge Radiohead fan, this really scratches the itch. This is better than the studio album, even with less songs. The crowds had a lot of energy in these recordings, it feels like you're with them.

This is an angry, focused, punchy album - live or not. One does not need to read between the lines to understand it. Really, to me, it's a more conventional sound for Radiohead, after Kid A's time in the spotlight.

mariamusic998 A rare document of Radiohead at one of the most experimental and chaotic peaks of their career. A hidden gem every fan was waiting for. Favorite track: 2 + 2 = 5 (Live).

about

A new live album that sees the band reflecting on their 6th album, Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009) is comprised of performances of songs in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dublin between 2003 and 2009. The album was mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton.

Speaking about the new live album, Thom Yorke, who recently co-created the critically acclaimed Hamlet Hail to the Thief, a frenetic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, says:

“In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs. I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”

The freedom of sound and songwriting, detached from radiohead and listeners' expectations that haunt the band, really shines here. Technical and super interesting instrumentation plus a more intimate soundscape makes this one of the strongest projects from Thom Yorke (and of course Greenwood and Skinner) imo. kaspr
